P43 AUTOMATIC IGNITION/OPERATION
room temperature Mode: This setting, see above,
will produce a room temperature of 70 degrees with the
distribution blower at medium speed.
The P43 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 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.
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.

circuit board dipswitches:
On the face of the circuit board,
there is a series of 8 switches.
These "ON-OFF" switches
are used to set the timings
and temperatures for the
different models of stove. For
a P43, the switches numbered
5 and 8 should be on, with
the rest of them off. never

Also know that if there is a need
to replace an ESP probe,a
switch change may also be
needed. It is strongly recommended to have a trained service
representative make any repairs to the appliance.
