P61A Pellet Stove
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.
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.
Install the three rebricks vertically on the angle
bracket above the burnpot.
Install the cast iron ame guide on top of the burn
pot. Make sure that the ame 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.
INSTALL EXHAUST VENT AT CLEARANCES
SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. Most pellet
vent pipe requires a minimum of 3" of clearance
to combustible materials although some can be
installed at 1" clearance.

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-
ciency.
NOTE:
even if only installed on the rear of the
unit as a return air sensor.
