The P68 is a fully automatic stove that features two

operating modes; Stove temperature Mode and room

temperature Mode. In Stove Temperature Mode, you

select a burn rate and the stove will remain at the same

burn rate regardless of the room temperature.

In the Room Temperature Mode the stove

constantly monitors the temperature in the room and

adjusts the size of the fire and the heat output of the stove

so that the room is kept at a constant temperature. Room

mode, in the AUTO position, has the added advantage of

turning the stove off if no heat is required and turning the

stove on again when the room temperature drops below

your desired room temperature.

room temperature Mode

Most consumers use the stove in the Room

Temperature Mode because it is the easiest and

most efficient method of keeping the room at a given

temperature. In the Room Temperature Mode, the Room

Sensing Probe constantly monitors room temperature. As

the weather changes outside and your home needs varying

amounts of heat to be at a desired temperature, the stove

will automatically increase size and heat output of the fire

so that a constant even temperature is maintained. If the

weather warms up and no heat is required the stove will

gradually shut down. When the house cools down the

stove will automatically bring the room temperature to the

precise temperature you desire.

In the Room Temperature Mode you can select

either auto or Manual modes for the igniter using the

igniter toggle switch. When the toggle switch is in the Auto

position the igniter located inside the burn pot is ready

to automatically light the fire when required. When the

toggle switch set to the Manual position the stove can

be lit manually with either a gel or a wax type fire starter.

(see lighting instructions on page 17.) With the igniter

toggle switch set in the Manual position the stove will

automatically adjust heat output, but the stove will not

automatically shut down if no heat is required. Instead it

will go to its lowest setting and remain there. The Manual

position on the igniter toggle switch lets you light the stove

manually, should the igniter fail for any reason. Secondly

if you are using the Harman battery back up system the

Manual setting will prevent the stove from turning off and

on during a power failure, which would drain the back up

battery, and possibly cause damage to the back-up or the

stove.

In the Room Temperature Mode, the distribution

blower speed can be increased or decreased by adjusting

the Room Temp/Off/Stove Temp dial between L and H.

As output of the stove increases, the speed of the blower

will increase automatically to insure that more heat is

transferred out into the room. The distribution blower will

shut off as the room reaches the set temperature, this will

prevent overheating of the room.
