Assembly and installation  
unpacking  
The P61A is bolted (1/4 x 1" hex head bolts) to the  
skid to prevent movement during shipping.  
To free the stove from the skid you must remove the  
hold-down bolts in the rear of the pedestal base.  
Removing rear cover panels  
The rear cover panels are secured to the stove  
with three bolts each. Two of the bolts need only be  
loosened, not removed, to remove the panels. It is  
recommended that the rear covers are installed after  
the unit is in place and the vent pipe is installed, to  
prevent contact with hot or moving parts.  
Firebrick  
Install the three firebricks vertically on the angle  
bracket above the burnpot.  
Flame guide  
Install the cast iron flame guide on top of the burn  
pot. Make sure that the flame guide is fully seated on  
the vertical sides of the burn pot and that the back of  
the guide rests against the body of the stove.  
Shipping Bolts  
Note: These same holes  
are used for securing the  
stove in mobile home  
installation.  
INSTALL EXHAUST VENT AT CLEARANCES  
SPECIFIED BYTHE MANUFACTURER. Most pellet  
vent pipe requires a minimum of 3" of clearance  
to combustible materials although some can be  
installed at 1" clearance.  
Fig. 1  
Rear Cover  
Panels  
Room Sensor installation  
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 connec-  
tion. Use standard 18-2 thermostat wire to extend the  
distance to the desired location (50' maximum). The  
room sensor should be installed in the location where  
you want to control the temperature.  
In most installations locating the room sensor behind  
the stove near the distribution fan works well because  
the sensor monitors the room air being drawn into the  
distribution fan.  
NOTE: Distances of more than 25 feet from the  
unit or in another room are not recommended. The  
room sensor is essential for the P61A's excellent ef-  
ficiency.  
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.

installation  
installing  
Place the stove on a noncombustible floor or on a floor  
protector that extends a minimum of 6 inches to the front,  
(measured from the glass) 6 inches to the sides and 1 inch  
to the rear of the hopper. It is also recommended that floor  
protection be installed under any horizontal venting and ex-  
tending 2 inches beyond the vent measurement. Material used  
for floor protection must be a minimum 3/8" of material rated  
at 0.84k per inch. Another method for calculating floor protec-  
tion is in R-value. Minimum permitted is 0.45 R. Example: 1"  
thickness of a material is rated at 0.52 R, which would meet  
the requirement.  
9" or 13"  
9" or 13"  
9" With Side Shields  
13" Without Side Shields  
Fig. 3  
Place the stove away from combustible walls at least as far  
as shown in Figures 3,4 and 5. 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.  
Connect the power cord to a 120 V.A.C. 60Hz grounded  
receptacle. (A surge protector is recommended to protect the  
circuit board.) Also be sure that the polarity of the outlet that  
the stove is plugged into is correct.  
Prior to installing the flue pipe, connect a draft meter. (The  
draft meter must have a minimum range of 0-.5.) Record the  
first reading. Connect flue pipe to stove and be sure all doors  
and windows in the home are closed. Record the second  
draft reading_______. If the second reading is more than .05"  
lower than the first reading, check for possible restrictions or  
the need for outside air (see page 9). For more information  
on the draft test procedure, refer to Page 21.  
Fig. 4  
Floor Protection must meet a minimum  
2.24k value or lower. (The lower the k  
value, the better the protection.)  
Mobile home installation  
When installing this unit in a mobile home, several require-  
ments must be followed:  
1. The unit must be bolted to the floor. This can be done with  
1/4" lag screws through the 2 holes in the base plate.  
2. The unit must also be connected to outside air. See page  
9.

Requirements for terminating the venting  
WARNING: Venting terminals must not be recessed  
into a wall or siding.  
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  
NOTE: Only approved pellet vent pipe, wall pass-  
throughs, and fire stops should be used when venting  
through combustible materials.  
NOTE: Always take into consideration the effects  
of the prevailing wind direction or other wind currents  
that may cause flyash and/or smoke when placing the  
termination of the vent.  
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" to the side, 48" below  
the window/door, and 12" above the window/door.1 (with  
outside air installed, 18” to the side or below)  
C. A 12" clearance to a permanently closed window  
is recommended to prevent condensation on the win-  
dow.  
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 (b. also  
applies)  
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.  
D. The vertical clearance to a ventilated soffit 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 soffit must be a  
minimum of 12".  
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 floor.  
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 gas meter/regulator assembly when measured  
from the horizontal center-line of the regulator.1

venting  
vent Pipe  
iMPORtAnt nOtice  
Approved Pellet Vent Pipe- Widely Known As  
"PL Vent", Must be used.  
Pellet venting pipe (known as PLvent) 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 1 to 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 P61A operates  
with a positive vent pressure we specify that the  
joints also be sealed with silicone. Aluminum tape  
can also be used for any joint that is 1 ft. or more from  
the outlet of the stove.  
We cannot emphasize enough, the importance  
of sealing every seam and joint in the venting system  
which is inside the home. Even the smallest pin hole  
can leak and when it does you will smell wood smoke  
or a creosote smell in the room. If this occurs check  
for leaks. Leaks are easiest to see during start-up.  
Alternatively you can use a smoke pellet to leak test  
the venting before lighting your first fire.

negative Pressure, Shut-down, and Power  
Failure:  
venting  
A combustion blower is used to extract the com-  
bustion gases from the firebox. This causes a negative  
pressure in the firebox and a positive pressure in the  
venting system as shown in Fig. 7. The longer the  
vent pipe and more elbows used in the system, the  
greater the flow 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 interior diameter should be increased  
from 3" to 4" because a larger pipe causes less flow  
resistance. be sure to use approved pellet vent pipe  
wall and ceiling pass-through fittings to go through  
combustible walls and ceilings. The use of a starting  
collar is not always necessary. The first piece of pipe  
must be secured, with at least 2 fasteners, to the flue  
collar of the stove. The 2 screws provided are self-drill-  
ing, however, drilling a 3/32" pilot hole for each screw  
is recommended due to the material thickness.  
To reduce the probability of back-drafting or  
burn-back in the pellet burning appliance during  
power failure or shut-down conditions, the stove  
must be able to draft naturally without exhaust  
blower operation. Negative pressure in the house will  
resist this natural draft if not accounted for in the pellet  
appliance installation.  
Heat rises in the house and leaks out at upper levels.  
This air must be replaced with cold air from outdoors,  
which flows into lower levels of the house. Vents and  
chimneys into basements and lower levels of the house  
can become the conduit for air supply, and reverse  
under these conditions.  
Outside Air:  
harman home heating and hearth & home tech-  
nologies strongly recommend attaching outside  
air in all installations, especially lower level and  
main floor locations.

venting  
Per national building codes, consideration must be  
given to combustion air supply to all combustion appli-  
ances. Failure to supply adequate combustion air for all  
appliance demands, may lead to back-drafting of those  
and other appliances.  
Outside air flex pipe  
goes here.  
When the appliance is side-wall vented: The air in-  
take is best located on the same exterior wall as the  
exhaust vent outlet and located lower on the wall than  
the exhaust vent outlet.  
When the appliance is roof vented: The air intake is  
best located on the exterior wall oriented towards the  
prevailing wind direction during the heating season.  
Flex pipe part#  
1-00-08543 (25')  
The outside air connection will supply the demands  
of the pellet appliance, but consideration must be given  
to the total house demand. House demand may con-  
sume some air needed for the stove, especially during  
a power failure. It may be necessary to add additional  
ventilation to the space in which the pellet appliance is  
located. Consult with your local HVAC professional to  
determine the ventilation demands for your house.  
To install outside air use 2 3/8" I.D. non-combustible  
flex pipe. There is a break-away hole on the rear panel  
of the stove which must be removed before connect-  
ing the flex pipe. The pipe should be run outside and  
terminate to the side or below the vent pipe outlet so  
the flue 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.  
Inlet Cover part#

Direct Vent Wall Passthrough Kit  
(part #1-00-677077)  
You may choose to use the optional Direct Vent Wall  
Passthrough Kit (part #1-00-677077) which incorporates  
the venting passthrough and outside air inlet into one  
component.  
vent configurations:  
To reduce probability of reverse drafting during shut-down conditions, Hearth & Home Technologies  
strongly recommends:  
• Installing the pellet vent with a minimum vertical run of five feet, preferably terminating above the roof line.  
• Installing the outside air intake at least four feet below the vent termination.  
To prevent soot damage to exterior walls of the house and to prevent re-entry of soot or ash into the house:  
• Maintain specified clearances to windows, doors, and air inlets, including air conditioners.  
• Vents should not be placed below ventilated soffits. Run the vent above the roof.  
• Avoid venting into alcove locations.  
• Vents should not terminate under overhangs, decks or onto covered porches.  
• Maintain minimum clearance of 12 inches from the vent termination to the exterior wall. If you see  
deposits developing on the wall, you may need to extend this distance to accommodate your installation  
conditions.  
hearth & home technologies assumes no responsibility for, nor does the warranty extend to,  
smoke damage caused by reverse drafting of pellet appliances under shut-down or power failure  
conditions.

venting  
#1 Preferred method  
This method provides excellent venting for  
normal operation and allows the stove to be in-  
stalled 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 five feet high. This vertical  
section will help provide natural draft in the event of  
a power failure. note: do not place joints within  
wall pass-throughs.

#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 five 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.  
If the stove is installed below grade be sure the  
vent termination is at least 18" above grade. The  
outlet must also be 1 foot from the house/building.  
Note: Do not place joints within wall pass-  
throughs.

#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.  
In 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 chimney should be inspected and cleaned  
before installing your stove. If you discover that the  
chimney does not have a clay tile liner or has cracks  
or flaking of the tile liner you will need to install a  
stainless steel liner within the chimney. In most cases  
the inside diameter of this liner should be 4". Either  
flexible or rigid liner may be used for this purpose.  
Refer to Method 6 & 7.  
Be sure to design the venting so that it can be easily  
cleaned.  
#5 installing into an existing

fireplace 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 #6.  
In 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 chimney must be inspected and cleaned  
before installing your stove. If you discover that the  
chimney does not have a clay tile liner or has cracks  
or flaking of the tile liner you will need to install a  
stainless steel liner within the chimney, as shown  
in Method 6 & 7.  
The chimney must be sealed at the damper us-  
ing a steel plate. Kaowool, mineral wool or other non-  
combustible insulation is recommended above the  
plate to reduce the possibility of condensation. The  
connector pipe should extend through the smoke  
chamber to the base or into the first flue tile.  
Be sure to design the venting so that it can be  
easily cleaned.

In some places in the US and Canada it is re-  
quired 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. Be sure to use ap-  
proved pellet vent pipe fittings. Seal pipe joints with  
silicone or aluminum tape in addition to the sealing  
system used by the manufacturer. Pipe size should  
be increased to 4" using this method.

AutOMAtic ignitiOn/OPeRAtiOn  
The P61A is a fully automatic stove that features two  
Room temperature Mode  
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  
theAUTO 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 RoomTemperature  
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 fire size and heat output 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 19.) 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.  
Room temperature Mode: This setting, see above,  
will produce a room temperature of 70 degrees with the  
distribution blower at medium speed.  
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.

AutOMAtic ignitiOn/OPeRAtiOn  
Stove temperature Mode  
Shut down Procedure  
In the Stove Temperature Mode and with the igniter  
toggle switch in the Auto position, the stove will light  
automatically and can be adjusted to the desired setting  
using the same temperature control dial as is used in  
the Room Temperature Mode. The heat output and fuel  
consumption will remain constant regardless of room  
temperature. The settings from 1 to 7 on the inner ring  
of the temperature dial provide for relative heat output  
settings with 1 being low and 7 being the maximum.  
The best way to shut down the stove is to simply let it  
run out of pellets. The stove will shut down automatically.  
Alternatively, you can turn the Mode Selector to “off”.  
This will cause the fire to gradually die down and go out.  
The fire will not go out immediately and may take more  
than an hour to fully shut down.  
If the stove is left to run out of fuel, you may get a 6  
blink status light. If this happens simply reset the control  
board by turning the mode selector to OFF and back  
ON.  
In Stove Temperature Mode, the stove will not  
automatically shut off unless the stove runs out of fuel  
or is turned off.

Never pull the plug to shut down the stove. This will stop  
the combustion blower and smoke will escape through  
window and door gaskets.  
When the igniter toggle switch is set to manual in this  
mode, the distribution blower will not turn on with a  
temperature dial setting from 1 to 5. The advantage of  
this mode is to allow the operator to have a large viewing  
fire without blowing extra heat into the room.  
Stove temperature Mode  
During manual operation, with the temperature dial set  
at #4 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #4  
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. Therefore,  
the control 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 Tempera-  
ture Mode is if you want to watch a large fire and the  
room is already up to temperature. The Stove Tempera-  
ture Mode allows you to have a larger fire and a lower  
sound level, without the distribution blower.  
The setting above will produce continuous medium heat  
output with the distribution blower at low speed.  
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  
350o F, or 81% output.  
Feed Adjuster knob  
For most premium grade pellet fuels the Feed Adjuster  
Knob should be set at 4. If higher ash fuels are used  
the setting should be increased to 5 or 6. Also higher  
settings are required if you would like to get the  
maximum heat output from the stove. At the maximum  
burn rate (with the temperature dial on 7/90° and the  
feed adjuster at 6) there should be 1" or more of ash on  
the front of the burn pot. If there is less than 1" of ash,  
turn the feed adjuster knob down to a lower setting.  
The setting above will produce continuous maximum heat  
output with the distribution blower at full speed.

is larger than 1", turn the feed adjuster from #4 to #5. Allow another  
30 minutes of burn time and check again. If , at #6 setting, a 1" or  
less ash bed is not obtainable, it is not a problem. The 1" ash bed  
is only a maximum burn rate and at most normal settings the ash

MAnuAl ignitiOn/OPeRAtiOn  
The P61APellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the operator  
to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, when using a  
502H battery backup, as opposed to the 512H, or when using certain generators.)

tion" on Page 16. Turn to "Manual" position when the  
ignition cycle has started.  
The difference between "AUTO" Room Temperature  
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 settings are the same  
as "AUTO" settings. The blower will shut off com-  
pletely if the temperature on the ESP is too low.

low draft voltage Adjustment  
These units are pre-tested at the factory with exactly  
120 Volts A.C., 60 Hz. They are checked and adjusted  
for firebox tightness, gasket leakage, motor operation  
and igniter operation. The P61A is then factory set at a  
mid-point adjustment and in most cases will not need any  
adjustments. nOte: the factory low draft setting may  
not be correct for the unit's permanent installation  
conditions.  
A simple draft test should be performed after  
completing the flue pipe installation. To record the results  
for future reference:  
1. Plug unit into a 120VAC, 60 HZ outlet.  
2. Close the hopper lid, front view door, and the ash pan.  
Neither pellets or a fire are required for this test.  
3. With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, turn  
the feed adjuster to "TEST".  
The control board on the P61A is equipped with  
a low draft adjustment port. Located on the control  
face just to the right of the igniter light. This voltage  
adjustment is provided to allow the unit to be adjusted  
for the household voltage where the unit is going to be  
in permanent operation. nOte: the line voltage varies  
from area to area and often home to home.  
The low draft voltage should be adjusted to achieve  
the most efficient burn on low burn or "maintenance".  
This voltage adjustment allows the installer to change  
the low voltage set point approximately 10 volts. This  
adjustment should be done by the installer during set  
up because a draft meter reading is required to insure  
proper set up.  
4. Record the high draft_____in W.C. (Normal is -.50  
to -.60) The control will be on the High Draft for a total  
of 1 minute.  
5. After the minute, the combustion motor will go down to  
low draft and the distribution blower will go on high.Allow  
approximately 15 seconds to pass for the combustion  
motor to slow before checking the low draft.  
6. If the low draft is between -.35 and -.45, record the  
reading _____ in W.C. If the reading is higher, slowly  
turn the set screw counter-clockwise until the draft  
lowers. If the reading is lower, very slowly turn the set  
screw clockwise until the draft increases.  
If the unit is not adjusted properly, it does not cause  
a safety concern. If the unit is adjusted too high, only  
efficiency is lost. If the unit is adjusted too low, the low  
draft pressure switch will not allow the feed motor or the  
igniter to operate.  
nOte: in some cases, the draft may not go as low  
as -.35 to -.45 even with the set screw completely  
counter-clockwise. ideally, you should just set it as  
low as possible.

Maintenance  
Minimizing creosote:  
Whenever wood is burned slowly, the potential exists for creosote  
to form in the venting. The chimney or venting system should be  
inspected periodically throughout the heating season to determine if  
a creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has  
accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk  
of a chimney fire. A professional chimney sweep is recommended,  
since they would normally have the correct equipment to ensure  
proper creosote removal.  
if you experience a fire in the venting system, turn the stove to  
"OFF" to allow the unit to shut down. Call the fire department, and be  
sure everyone is out of the residence. Before re-using the appliance,  
have it, and the venting system thoroughly inspected and replace any  
damaged components.  
The glass in your Harman stove is a special ceramic glass.

Maintenance  
Scraping the burn pot:  
Whenever adding fuel to the hopper, take the time  
and scrape the grate surface of the burnpot, using  
the scraper tool provided. This can be done while a  
fire is burning. Wearing heat resistant gloves, open  
the firebox door. Scrape any accumulated ashes  
from in front of the fire, into the ash pan. Now, scrape  
under the fire, in a downward direction, to loosen any  
carbon deposits. Do not scrape the fire out of the  
pot. Whatever you loosen will be pushed out with  
the flow of new fuel into the pot. (Fig.33)  
Removing Ashes:  
After 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 fitting lid. the closed container of  
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible  
floor or on the ground, well away from all com-  
bustible materials, pending final disposal. if  
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or other-  
wise locally dispersed, they should be retained  
in the closed container until all cinders have  
thoroughly cooled.

ciency, insures that the flue venting passageway is clear  
and unobstructed. The stove should be cleaned after  
each ton of pellets (50 bags) and the venting system  
inspected and cleaned after each heating season.

Maintenance - burn Pot  
burn Pot cleaning and Maintenance  
1. Scrape the top holed surface and sides of the burn  
pot.(Fig 33) It is not necessary to completely remove all  
material from the burn pot. The excess will be pushed  
out during the next use.  
DaNgER  
Disconnect electrical power to the unit  
before removing cover.  
2. Loosen the (2) wing thumb screws on the lower front  
angle of the burn pot. (Fig. 34)  
3. Lift off the clean-out cover (Fig.35) to open the bottom  
clean-out chamber. (Fig.36)  
Loosen wing screws  
4. Clean ash buildup from inside the chamber while  
cover is off. Use the scraper to tap on the top front  
edge of the burn pot. This will help knock pieces of  
ash, loosened by the scraping process, down through  
the holes. It also helps knock scale off of the igniter  
element.  
Fig. 34  
Figure 36  
The igniter is made to be removable for service  
by insulated male/female wire connectors. These  
connections between the hot leads (the wires inside  
the burn pot) and the cold leads (the wires from the  
control board) are always pulled to the rear of the  
feeder body. (not coiled inside the burn pot.)  
It is very important that these connections are  
to the inside rear of the feeder body. Also, the extra  
wire of the igniter wire service loop must be pulled out  
through the rear of the feeder and tied up so that it will  
not be damaged by any moving parts.

Safety Features  
The low draft sensor which is a vacuum differential switch, monitors the negative  
pressure (draft) in the firebox through a port on the rear of the feeder. Poor draft will  
result in an interruption of power to the feeder and the igniter. Poor draft can be caused  
by blockage in the exhaust, excessive build-up on the combustion blower fan blades, a  
failed combustion blower, or a door or other opening to the firebox not sealed properly.  
The hopper lid position switch, located in the right rear corner of the hopper opening, will  
also interrupt power to the feeder and igniter if the hopper lid is not closed properly. The  
circuit board is monitoring the position of these switches. During a feed cycle, if either  
of these switches were to open, the feed motor light on the control will stay illuminated  
with the power being interrupted by the switch. If the switch opens when the cycle is at  
rest, the power lights for the feed motor or igniter will not illuminate. Be sure all doors,  
including the hopper lid, are securely closed when operating the appliance.

helpful hints  
cleaning burn Pot  
Whenever your stove is not burning, take the op-  
portunity 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 fire  
burning using the special tool provided with your stove.  
Scrape the floor and sides of the burn pot. The carbon  
will be pushed out by the incoming fuel. Always wear  
gloves to do this.  
PARtiAllY buRned PelletS  
1. Feed rate too high.  
2. Poor air to fuel mixture. (Check burn pot clean-  
out cover and air intake).  
3. Burn pot or heat exchanger tubes may need to  
be cleaned.  
4. Combination of all the above.  
5. #6 status blink: A 6 blink control board status  
indication is caused by poor or incomplete combus-  
tion. The circuit board has the ability to track the  
combustion through feed settings and ESP tem-  
peratures. When the control board has calculated  
poor or incomplete combustion, it will shut down  
the unit as a safety feature. (Poor or incomplete  
combustion is a contributor of creosote which may  
cause a chimney fire)  
A 6 blink status may be caused by several  
things:  
1. Blocked or partially blocked flue.  
2. Blocked or partially blocked inlet air.  
a. Backdraft damper on the inlet pipe may be  
stuck closed.  
Removing Ashes  
Turn the Temp Dial to number 1 approximately 30  
minutes before removing ashes. This will result in a  
cooler stove and ash pan.  
curing Paint  
You may notice some smoke and odor during the  
first firing of the appliance. This is likely part of the paint  
curing process, and will diminish with time. Consider  
keeping a window open during the first hour of opera-  
tion, to remove any associated odors.  
keep the stove free of dust and dirt, especially  
around the motors and circuit board.  
b. If outside air is installed, the inlet cover may  
be blocked.  
3. The air chamber under the burnpot may be filled  
with fines and small bits of ash.  
4. The holes in the burnpot may be getting filled  
with ash or carbon buildup.  
Fuel  
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.  
5. Combustion blower fan blades may need  
cleaned.  
6. Fuel restrictions as noted above.  
SMOke SMell  
Seal the vent pipe joints and connection to stove  
with silicone. The exhaust vent is the only part of  
the system that is under positive pressure.  
FiRe hAS gOne Out- check for status light.  
1. No fuel in hopper.  
The P61A is capable of burning all 3 categories  
of pellets, and up to a 50% mixture with shelled corn,  
see next page for special instructions.  
It should be noted, that higher ash content will  
require more frequent ash removal, scraping of the  
burn pot, and may provide less BTU's per pound.  
The moisture content of pellets must not exceed  
8%, corn 15%. Higher moisture will rob BTU's and may  
not burn properly.  
Fuel should be stored in a dry area, outside of the  
stove's installation clearance area and outside of the  
space required for charging and ash removal. See  
Page 7.  
2. Draft is too low, blocked flue.  
3. Something is restricting fuel flow.  
4. Hopper lid not closed properly.

Fuel Specications  
Fuel and Fuel Storage  
Size  
Pellet fuel quality can fluctuate from manufacturer to  
manufacturer, and even from bag to bag.  
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends using only  
fuel that is certified by the Pellet Fuels Institute (PFI).  
Pellets are either 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch (6-8mm) in  
diameter  
Length should be no more than 1-1/2 inches  
(38mm)  
Pellet length can vary from lot to lot from the  
same manufacturer  
Fuel Material  
Made from sawdust and/or other wood by-products  
Shelled field corn (when mixed with wood pellets)  
Source material typically determines ash content  
Performance  
Higher ash content requires more frequent main-  
tenance.  
“Premium” grade pellets will produce the highest  
heat output.  
Burning pellets longer than 1-1/2 inches (38mm)  
can cause inconsistent feeding and/or ignition.  
Higher Ash Content Material  
Hardwoods with high mineral content  
Bark and leaves as source material  
“Standard” grade pellets, corn and other biomass  
Lower Ash Content Material  
We recommend that you buy fuel in multi-ton lots  
whenever possible. However, we do recommend try-  
ing different brands prior to purchasing multi-ton lots,  
to ensure your satisfaction.  
Softwood; pine, fir, etc.  
Materials with lower mineral content  
“Premium” grade pellets  
Shelled field corn  
CaUTION! Tested and approved for use with wood  
pellets and a mixture of shelled field corn and wood  
pellets ONLY. Burning of any other fuel will void your  
warranty.  
Must be 15% moisture content or less  
Must be clean and free of debris  
Must be mixed with wood pellets. (Up to 50%)  
Stalk parts, excessive fines and cob remnants may  
cause feed system jams or blockage  
When changing from wood pellets to a corn/pellet  
mixture, the FEED ADJUSTER will likely need adjust-  
ed to a lower setting. When under maximum demand,  
ensure there is no unburned fuel being pushed into  
the ash pan.  
CaUTION! Do not burn fuel that contains an addi-  
tive; (such as soybean oil)  
May cause hopper fire  
Damage to product may result  
Storage  
Read the list of ingredients on the packaging. If you are  
buying field corn, the only ingredient listed should be  
field corn.  
Wood pellets should be left in their original sealed  
bag until ready to use, to prevent moisture.  
Shelled corn should be stored in a tightly sealed  
container to prevent moisture and to deter pests  
Do not store fuel within the specified clearance ar-  
eas, or in a location that will interfere with routine  
cleaning and maintenance procedures.  
WaRNINg! Risk of Chemical Poisoning!  
Do NOT burn treated seed corn  
Chemical pesticides are harmful or fatal if swallowed  
Burning treated seed corn will void the product war-  
ranty  
cAutiOn  
Clinkers  
Tested and approved for use with wood pellets  
and a mixture of shelled field corn and wood pel-  
lets ONLY. Burning of any other fuel will void your  
warranty.  
Minerals and other non-combustible materials, like sand,  
will turn into a hard glass-like substance when heated.  
Trees from different areas will vary in mineral content.  
For this reason, some fuels will produce more clinkers  
than others.  
nOtice  
Moisture  
Always burn dry fuel. Burning fuel with high moisture  
content takes energy to dry and tends to cool the appli-  
ance thus, robbing heat from your home. Damp pellet  
fuel could turn back into sawdust which does not flow  
properly through the feed system.  
Hearth & Home Technologies is not responsible for  
stove performance or extra maintenance required  
as a result of using fuel with higher ash or mineral  
content.

Addendum for Burning Corn and Pellet Fuel Mixture  
Harman pellet burning, free-standing stoves and inserts have been tested to ASTM E1509 for burning shelled corn  
in a mixture with wood pellets. The listing approves up to a 50% corn and 50% pellet mixture. Different mixtures of  
corn will have distinctively different burn characteristics depending upon moisture content and variety. The operator  
should closely monitor the stove’s operation when burning a new corn/pellet mixture or a different variety of corn,  
and make any necessary adjustments to feed rate. Since corn is typically higher in ash and moisture content, cleaning  
and ash removal will be needed more frequently.  
Operation in Stove Temp mode  
Set feed adjuster to # 3. Set temperature knob to #3, Turn mode selector knob onto “Stove Tempmode. After the fire  
has lit, watch that the fuel does not feed too fast that it pushes the red glowing fuel bed off of the burn pot grate. If it  
does, lower the feed adjuster setting or use a lower percentage of corn in the mixture. After the stove has burned for  
10 minutes and the entire fuel bed is burning, the feed adjuster and temperature knobs may be adjusted for higher  
heat output if desired. Maximum feed has been reached when the fire bed is about ½ to 1 inch from the end of the  
burn pot. Settings will vary with different types, moisture levels and mix ratios of corn. If you are having difficulty burn-  
ing a 50% corn / 50% wood pellet mixture, try a lower percentage of corn.  
Operation in Room Temp mode  
Set feed adjuster to # 2 or # 3. Set temperature knob to desired amount. Turn mode selector knob onto “Room Temp”  
mode. After the fire has lit, watch that the fuel does not feed too fast that it pushes the red glowing fuel bed off of the  
burn pot grate. After the stove has burned for 10 minutes and the entire fuel bed is burning, the feed adjuster may be  
set to a higher output level if desired. Maximum feed has been reached when the fire bed is about ½ to 1 inch from  
the end of the burn pot. It is recommended that after burning at the desired settings, turn the stove off and allow it to  
cool, then turn it back on in “Room Tempmode and watch the stove restart and verify correct operation. Settings will  
vary with different types, moisture levels and mix ratios of corn. If you are having difficulty burning a 50% corn 50%  
wood pellet mixture, try a lower percentage of corn.  
Changes to Maintenance Schedule  
Wood pellets average around 6% moisture content or less. Corn will be 14 or 15% moisture. With more moisture in  
the fuel, more maintenance will be incurred. Burn pot scraping may need to be done once per day. The ash pan will fill  
more quickly and may need emptied weekly. Most importantly, remove the burn pot cleanout cover weekly to clean  
the air passage and the igniter element. Excessive buildup on the igniter may lead to shortened igniter life.  
Venting Consideration: Check with your venting manufacturer regarding possible exclusions when a mixture of corn  
and pellets is burned.  
Loosen these two wing screws for access  
to clean the air passage and igniter.

Addendum  
Minimizing Smoke during loss of Power using battery back-up  
harmanTM strongly recommends installing battery back-up to minimize entry of smoke into the  
room in the event of power loss.  
Your pellet/biomass burning appliance relies on a combustion blower to remove exhaust. A power failure  
will cause the combustion blower to stop. This may lead to exhaust seeping into the room. Vertical rise in  
the venting may provide natural draft. It is, however, no guarantee against leakage.  
there are two harmanTM approved battery back-up options for your appliance:  
uninterruptible Power Supply (uPS) UPS battery back-ups are available online or at computer and  
office equipment stores. Your HarmanTM appliance with Rev E or later software available beginning in  
November 2010 may be plugged directly into a HarmanTM approved UPS:  
The APC (American Power Conversion) model #BE750G and the TrippLite model  
INTERNET750U are tested and approved. Other brands or models may not be compatible.  
When power is lost, a fully charged UPS will power a safe, combustion blower only shut-down. Your  
appliance will pulse the blower every few seconds to clear exhaust until the fire is out. nOte: the uPS  
provides safe shut-down only. it is not intended for continued operation.  
Your appliance will recognize when power is restored. What happens depends on ESP temperature and  
whether it is equipped with automatic ignition:  
in “Automatic” setting, units equipped with automatic ignition will respond to the set point and  
ESP temperature and resume normal operation.  
in “Manual” setting or for units without automatic ignition:  
If the ESP is cool, the appliance will remain shut down.  
If the fire is out and the ESP is still warm, the feeder may restart. Since the fire is out, the  
ESP temperature will not rise. The unit will then shut-down, and may flash a six-blink status  
error. (See ESP error codes)  
If the fire is still burning, it will resume normal operation.  
Contact your dealer if you have questions about UPS compatibility with your appliance.  
harman Surefire 512h battery back-up The 512H connects to a 12 volt deep cycle battery that will run  
your appliance for up to eight (8) hours. It includes a trickle charge feature that keeps your battery  
charged when power is available. nOte: if the power is out for longer than battery life, smoke  
leakage may still occur unless your stove has been safely shut down.  
cAutiOn! Always keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed and latched during  
operation and during power failures to minimize risk of smoke or burn-back.  
cAutiOn! use only harmantM approved battery back-up devices. Other products may not  
operate properly, can create unsafe conditions or damage your appliance.

of pellets. The hopper extension adds 70 pounds to  
the existing hopper capacity, allowing you to load 140  
pounds of pellets at one time. The extension seals to  
the unit hopper with three latches. Some models will  
require a knockout be removed from the unit hopper  
prior to installing the extension.
