Draft Test Procedure
Before attaching any vent pipe to the stove, perform
a draft test, for later comparison.
Remove the plug bolt on the underside of the rebox
as shown. Using the hole from the bolt, attach a draft
meter that is capable of reading at least .5 inches of
water column (W.C.). You are going to want the meter
reading negative pressure.
Turn the feed adjuster to "Test". For the rst minute,
everything will run. Record the high draft reading
_______ . After the rst minute, the distribution blower
will go to a low speed. Then, after the second minute,
two minutes after turning to test, the distribution
blower will come back up to high, and the combustion
blower will drop to low. During this time, record the low
draft________. Perform the test again after the venting
is complete. Compare your readings. If there is more
than a .05 difference, you have too much restriction in
the venting. There is no adjustment for the draft other
than improving the venting conguration. Leaving the
stove in "test" will continue to cycle the blowers each
minute. Record your nal draft redings here. _________
High, and ________ Low.

Installing
Place the stove on a non-combustible oor or a oor
protector providing a minimum .84k value. Floor protection
must extend 6 inches to the front, 6 inches to the sides
and 1 inch to the rear of the stove.
Place the stove away from combustible walls at least
as far as shown in gures 3,4 and 5. Please note the
difference in side wall clearance with and without side
shields.
Note that the clearances shown are minimum for safety
but do not leave much room for access when cleaning
or servicing. Please take this into account when placing
the stove.
Connect the power cord to a 120 V.A.C. 60Hz grounded
receptacle.
After connecting the ue system, perform the second draft
test. However, prior to taking the draft reading be sure all
doors and windows in the home are closed. Record the
draft reading_______. If this reading is more than .05"
lower than the unconnected reading, check for possible
restrictions or the need for outside air (see page 7).
Mobile Home Installation
When installing this unit in a mobile home, several
requirements must be followed:
1. The unit must be bolted to the oor. This can be done with
1/4" lag screws through the 2 holes in the base plate.
2. The unit must also be connected for the outside air.
See page 7.
3. Floor protection and clearances must be followed as
shown.
4. Unit must be grounded to the metal frame of the mobile
home.
5. The stove may not be installed in a room designated

Venting
Requirements for Terminating the Venting
WARNING: Venting terminals must not be recessed
into a wall or siding.
NOTE: Only pellet vent pipe wall pass-throughs
and re stops should be used when venting through
combustible materials.
NOTE: Always take into consideration the effect the
prevailing wind direction or other wind currents will
cause with yash and /or smoke when placing the
termination.
In addition, the following must be observed:
A. The clearance above grade must be a minimum
of 18".1
B. The clearance to a window or door that may be
opened must be a minimum of 48".1
(with outside air installed, 18”)
C. A 12" clearance to a permanently closed window
is recommended to prevent condensation on the
window.
D. The vertical clearance to a ventilated soft located
above the terminal within a horizontal distance of
2 feet (60 cm) from the center-line of the terminal
must be a minimum of 18".
E. The clearance to an unventilated soft must be a
minimum of 12".
F. The clearance to an outside corner is 11" from center
of pipe.
G. The clearance to an inside corner is 12".
H. A vent must not be installed within 3 feet (90 cm)
above a meter/regulator assembly when measured
from the horizontal center-line of the regulator.1
I. The clearance to service regulator vent outlet must
be a minimum of 6 feet.1
J. The clearance to a non-mechanical air supply inlet to
the building or the combustion air inlet to any other
appliance must be a minimum of 48”.1
K. The clearance to a mechanical air supply inlet must
be a minimum of 10 feet.1
(with outside air installed, 6 feet )
L. The clearance above a paved sidewalk or a paved
driveway located on public property must be a
minimum of 7 feet.1,2
M. The clearance under a veranda, porch, deck or
balcony must be a minimum of 12 inches.1,3 (see B.)
NOTE: The clearance to vegetation and other exterior
combustibles such as mulch is 36” as measured from
the center of the outlet or cap. This 36” radius continues
to grade or a minimum of 7 feet below the outlet.
1Certain Canadian and or Local codes or regulations
may require different clearances.
2A vent shall not terminate directly above a side-walk
or paved driveway which is located between two
single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.
3Only permitted if veranda, porch, deck, or balcony is
fully open on a minimum of 2 sides beneath the oor.
NOTE: Where passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation
shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365. (if in Canada)

A combustion blower is used to extract the combustion
gases from the rebox. This causes a negative pressure
in the rebox and a positive pressure in the venting
system as shown in g. 6. The longer the vent pipe
and more elbows used in the system, the greater the
ow resistance. Because of these facts we recommend
using as few elbows as possible and 15 feet or less
of vent pipe. The maximum horizontal run should not
exceed 48". If more than 15 feet of pipe is needed, the
diameter should be increased from 3" to 4" because
a larger pipe causes less ow resistance. Be sure
to use approved pellet vent pipe wall and ceiling
pass through ttings to go through combustible
walls and ceilings. Be sure to use a starting collar to
attach the venting system to the stove. The starting
collar must be sealed to the stove with high temp
silicone caulking.
Vent Pipe
Pellet vent pipe (known as type "L" or "PL" vent) is
constructed of two layers with air space between the
layers. This air space acts as an insulator and reduces
the outside surface temperature to allow a clearance
to combustibles of only 3 inches. The sections of pipe
lock together to form an air tight seal in most cases;
however, in some cases a perfect seal is not achieved.
For this reason and the fact that the P61 operates with
a positive vent pressure we specify that the joints
also be sealed with high temp silicone.
Outside Air
Outside air is optional except in mobile homes and
where building codes require. The benet of outside air
is mainly noticed in small very tight houses.
To install outside air use 2 3/8" I.D. ex pipe part
number 1-00-08543 (25 ft.). There is a break-away
hole on the rear panel which must be removed before
connecting the ex pipe. The pipe should be run outside
and terminate to the side or below the vent pipe outlet
so the ue outlet is more than 12" from the inlet cover.
The maximum length run of this pipe is 15 feet. If a
longer run is needed the size must be increased to 3".
Inlet cover part number 1-10-08542 should be used to
keep birds, rodents etc. out of the pipe.
HRV
When installing in a house with a Heat Reclaiming
Ventilation System (HRV) be sure the system is
balanced and is not creating a negative pressure in
the house.

#2 Preferred method
This method also provides excellent venting for
normal operation but requires the stove to be
installed farther from the wall. The vertical portion
of the vent should be three to ve feet high and at
least three inches from a combustible wall. This
vertical section will provide natural draft in the event
of a power failure.
#1 Preferred method
This method provides excellent venting for normal
operation and allows the stove to be installed
closest to the wall. Two inches from the wall is
safe; however, four inches allows better access to
remove the rear panel. The vertical portion of the
vent should be three to ve feet high. This vertical
section will provide natural draft in the event of a
power failure.

#4 Installing into an existing chimney
This method provides excellent venting for normal
operation. This method also provides natural draft
in the event of a power failure. If the chimney
condition is questionable you may want to install a
liner as in method #7. Check with your local codes
to be sure a liner is not mandatory.
#5 Installing into an existing replace
chimney
This method provides excellent venting for normal
operation. This method also provides natural draft
in the event of a power failure.
The damper area must be sealed with a steel
plate or berglass. A cap should be installed on the
chimney to keep out rain. If the chimney condition
is questionable you may want to install a liner all
the way to the top as in method #6. Check with
your local codes to be sure a liner is not mandatory.

#6 Installing into an existing replace
chimney
This method provides excellent venting for normal
operation. This method also provides natural draft
in the event of a power failure.
Some places in the US and Canada it is required
that the vent pipe extend all the way to the top of
the chimney.
In this method a cap should also be installed
on the chimney to keep out rain. Be sure to use
approved pellet vent pipe ttings. Seal pipe joints
with silicone in addition to the sealing system used
by the manufacturer. Pipe size should be increased
to 4" using this method.
#7 Installing into an existing chimney
This method provides excellent venting for normal
operation. This method also provides natural draft
in the event of a power failure.
Some places in the US and Canada it is required
that the vent pipe extend all the way to the top of
the chimney. The pipe or liner inside the chimney
should be 4"diameter.
In this method a cap should also be installed on
the chimney to keep out rain.

Operation
Starting First Fire
Be sure the power cord is plugged into a 120 volt
receptacle. This can be veried by the red power light
on the control panel.
Be sure there is no fuel or other combustibles in
the ash pan prior to lighting.
Fill the hopper with pellets.
Fill the burn pot with pellets to a level just short of
overowing, g. 17.
Adjust feed rate. If this is your rst re or you are trying
different pellets, set the feed adjuster to "4", g. 18.
This is a conservative number and will probably need
to be increased. After you know a feed rate setting that
works well, use that setting. Remember, too high of a
feed rate will waste fuel.
Turn Mode selector to "OFF" and then to "Stove
Temp". This will turn the combustion blower to high.
When starting a re always turn the mode selector to
"OFF" before selecting the desired mode. This resets
the control for start-up.
Turn Temp Dial to 7. This will allow the stove to burn
at maximum for feed rate adjusting purposes.
Apply starting gel to pellets in burn pot and light
the gel. Close the door after lighting. At this point the
distribution and combustion lights will be on and the
feed motor light will be off. As the temperature of the re
increases, the feed motor light will come on and pellets
will feed into the burn pot. As the stove temperature
increases the distribution blower speed will increase.
After 30 to 45 minutes it may be necessary to readjust
the feed rate. The feed rate should be adjusted so
there is about one inch of ash in front of the re, g. 20.
This is a maximum burn position and the stove may not
achieve this position under normal burn rates.

When to use "Stove Temp Mode"
In "Stove Temp Mode" the Stove Temp Dial determines
the temperature of the stove. Heat output and fuel
consumption will remain constant. This makes it
possible to tell how long a hopper full of pellets will last.
The distribution blower speed will vary according to the
position of the mode selector, g. 21.
When to use "Room Temp Mode"
In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled
automatically by the Room Sensing Probe. When
the Room Sensing Probe calls for heat, the stove will
increase output. When the Room Sensing Probe is
getting close to the set temperature, the stove will begin
to level off output and keep the re burning at just the
right temperature to maintain that setting.
High output is determined by the feed rate. The
maximum feed rate should be set for 1" of ash in front
of re.
In "Room Temp Mode" fuel consumption is sacriced
for exact room temperature. Therefore, as it gets colder,
more pellets will be burned automatically.
The distribution blower speed will vary according to
the position of the mode selector, g. 21.
Shut-Down Procedure
To kill the re or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode
Selector to "OFF". This will cause the re to diminish
and burn out. When the re burns out and the stove
cools down everything will stop.
Never pull the plug to shut down the stove, all motors
will stop. This will cause incomplete combustion and
smoke in the rebox. If the load door is opened the
smoke will escape.
The best way to shut down the stove is to simply
let it run out of pellets, then the stove will shut down
automatically.
MANUAL IGNITION/OPERATION

The room sensor is a small temperature sensor
on the end of a 60" wire. This sensor is installed
much like a standard wall thermostat. Because
it is so small, it can be hidden along the trim of a
doorway or even up the leg of a coffee table. There
is a remote room sensor port on the rear of the
unit for easy external connection. Use standard
18-2 thermostat wire to extend the distance to the
desired location (100' maximum). The room sensor
should be installed in the location where you want
to control the temperature.
NOTE: Distances of more than 25 feet from the
unit or in another room are not recommended. The
room sensor is essential for the P61's excellent
efciency.
NOTE: It is recommended that the room sensor
be installed, even if only installed on the rear of
the unit as a return air sensor.

Removing Ashes:
When approximately 1 ton of pellets has been burned,
it will be necessary to empty the ash pan.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
It is recommended that the stove is cold and shut down
when removing the ash pan.
1. Pull on latch handle to open the ash door, and remove
ash pan.
2. Close the ash door while dumping ashes. Use ash
pan handle to carry and dispose of ashes.
3. Return the ash pan into the stove and latch the ash
door securely.
Cleaning:
Scrape the burn pot surface regularly. Whenever
adding fuel, it is a good time to scrape the burn pot.
Using the at end of the scraper tool, scrape under
the re to remove any carbon deposits which may be
forming. The more frequent the scraping, the better
performanc you'll have.
The stove will need to be cleaned for approximately
every 2 to 5 tons of pellets burned. The amount of
pellets burned before cleaning will vary depending on
the brand of pellets.
1. Shut down the stove and disconnect the power
cord to insure that all motors are stopped.
2. Remove ash pan as described earlier.
3. Remove combustion blower cover by turning the latch
vertical as shown in Fig.26 and sliding the cover out
of the slot on the left (Fig.27.) This will expose the
combustion blower wheel and ue outlet, (Fig.24.)
4. Clean the blower wheel with a brush and a vacuum
cleaner.
5. Use a brush (Fig.30) to clean the ue, being careful
not to damage the ESP probe. The ue goes straight
through into the vent pipe (Fig.29) therefore, the vent
pipe can also be cleaned, to some extent, through
the ue outlet.
6. Reinstall the blower cover and relatch.

Soot and Fly Ash
The products of combustion will contain small particles
of y ash. The y ash will collect in the exhaust venting
system and restrict the ow of the ue gases. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during startup, shutdown,
or incorrect operation of the room heater, will lead to
some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should
be inspected at least once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.

Trouble-Shooting
Cleaning Burn Pot
Whenever your stove is not burning, take the
opportunity to scrape the burn pot to remove carbon
buildup. A vacuum cleaner is handy to remove the
residue. Be sure the stove is cold if you use a vacuum.
Carbon buildup can be scraped loose with the re
burning using the special tool provided with your stove.
Scrape the oor and sides of the burn pot. The carbon
will be pushed out by the incoming fuel. Always wear
gloves to do this.
Removing Ashes
Turn the Temperature Dial to minimum approximately
30 minutes before removing ashes. This will result in a
cooler stove and ash pan.
Maximum feed settings are not needed in most cases.
Operating in the normal range is recommended when
maximum heat output is not required. The ESP probe
prevents the stove from being over-red.
Keep the stove free of dust and dirt.
Helpful Hints
Pellet fuels are put into 3 categories in terms of ash content. Premium at 1% or less, Standard at 3% or less
and all others at 3% or more.
The P61 is capable of burning all 3 categories of pellets due to a patented feeder and burn pot system.
It should be noted, however, that higher ash content will require more frequent ash removal and may provide
less BTU's per lb. Normally, standard and high ash pellets cost less than premium pellets and can be cost effec-
tive when burned in the P61.
The moisture content must not exceed 8%. Higher moisture will rob BTU's and may not burn properly.
