AUTOMATIC IGNITION/OPERATION
The PC45 corn/pellet stove is more than just automatic ignition, it is also automatic temperature control. The automatic system will allow the fire size to be adjusted to match the heating needs and even put the fire out if necessary. If heat is needed after the fire is out, the PC 45 will automatically
The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during operation.

Room Temperature Mode
Fig. 21:Room Temperature Mode: This setting will produce a room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution blower at medium speed.
Stove Temperature Mode
This setting will produce medium heatwith the distribution blower on "low".
This setting will produce continuous maximum heat output with the distribution blower at full speed.
In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled auto- matically by the Room Sensing Probe. Whenthe Room Sens- ing Probe calls for heat, the stove will increase output. When the Room Sensing Probe is getting close to the set tempera- ture, the stove will begin to level off output and keep the fire burning at just the right temperature to maintain that setting.
High output is determined by the feed rate setting. This setting, generally on #2 (corn) or #4 (pellet), can be increased if higher burn rates are necessary.
When burning corn the feed rate setting can be ad- justed anywhere within the yellow range with a #3 setting being the maximum setting, #1 the lowest setting. This set- ting will vary depending on the quality of corn used.
When burning pellets the feed rate setting can be adjusted within the full range between #1 on the low side to #6 on the high side.
Overfeeding is not a safety concern, but the fire may be pushed off the burnpot and extinguish in the ash pan.
In "Room Temp Mode" a constant fuel consumption rate is sacrificed for exact room temperature. Therefore, as it gets colder more fuel will be burned automatically.
The distribution blower speed will vary according to the position of the mode selector pointer, and fire size.

The unit's low burn or maintenance setting is as low as it will go. It will not go out unless it runs out of fuel or is turned off.
Shut-Down Procedure
To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode Selector to "OFF". This will cause the fire to diminish and burn out. When the fire burns out and the stove cools down everything will stop . NOTE: The combustion blower motor will run for 5 hours after the stove is completely cool. This insures that all fuel in the burnpot and ashes located in the ash pan are completely cold before shut down of the combustion motor.
If you pull the plug to shut down the stove, all motors will stop. This may cause incomplete combustion and smoke in the firebox. If the load door is opened the smoke may es- cape.
The best way to shut down the stove is simply let it run out of fuel, then the stove will shut down automatically.
