Manual IGNITION/Operation
The XXV Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the operator to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, 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 "AUTO" mode and switching to "MANUAL": Once an ignition cycle has started, it will continue regardless of mode. Switching from "Auto" to "Manual" can be done as soon as the igniter light comes on.

Room Temperature Mode
The fire will have to be lit with starting gel and a match, or started automatically, see "Automatic Operation" on Page 20. Turn to "Manual" position after the ignition cycle starts.
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 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 operator to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra heat into the room.
During operation, with the temperature dial set at #3 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. It is not necessary to operate 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 automatically come on when the ESP Temperature reaches 350o F, or 81% output.
This setting will produce a large viewing fire without a distribution blower operating.
