Manual Stove temperature Mode
This setting will produce a large viewing fire
without a distribution blower operating.
P68 Manual ignitiOn/OPeratiOn
The P68 Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the opera-
tor to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, when using
a 50H battery backup, as opposed to the 51H, or when using certain generators.)
The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during
operation.
Room Temperature Mode: This
setting, see below, will produce a
room temperature of 70 degrees
with the distribution blower at
medium speed.
nOte: when starting the unit in the "autO"
mode and switching to "MANUAL", the fire must be
large enough to start the distribution blower. the
starting of the blower is a signal that the start cycle
is completed and the fire will not go out.
igniter Switch to "Manual"
room temperature Mode
The fire will have to be lit with starting gel and a
match, or started automatically, see "Automatic Opera-
tion" on Page 15. Turn to "Manual" position when the
fire is established.
The difference between "AUTO" Room Tempera-
ture Mode and "Manual" Room Temperature Mode is
that the fire will not go out as the room temperature
goes above the control board setting. The unit can
only go to low burn and will remain there until it runs
out of fuel or until more heat is needed and the feed
rate increases. Feed rate adjustments and dial set-
tings are the same as "AUTO" settings.
will shut off completely if the temperature on the
ESP is too low.
igniter Switch to "Manual"
Stove temperature Mode
The advantage of this mode is to allow the opera-
tor to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra
heat into the room.
During operation, with the temperature dial set at
#5 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #5 on
the temperature dial and a #5 on the feed adjuster is
approximately 80% output. It is not necessary to oper-
ate the distribution blower below this point. This control
setting allows a higher burn rate (a larger viewing fire)
without an excess of hot air blowing into the room.
An example of when to use the Manual Stove
Temperature Mode is if you want to watch a large fire
and the room is already up to temperature. The Stove
Temperature Mode allows you to have a larger fire and
a lower sound level, without the distribution blower.
nOte: during the use of this mode, if you keep
increasing the temperature dial setting to increase
the fire size, the distribution blower will automati-
cally come on when the eSP temperature reaches
o
350
F, or 81% output.
