Fire prevention folks recommend having the dual smoke sensors, that have both ionization and photoelectric sensors, to better detect both the low smoldering type fires as well as the high flame fast spreading fires. They are inexpensive at about $35 or so.
Unfortunately, they don't yet make a dual sensor smoke / fire alarm that also has a CO sensor, so you need to buy a separate CO detector - about $20 or so.
Don't forget a fire extinguisher as well, located not too close to the stove that you have to run into the smoky room to find it in order to fight the fire with it !
State of Maine had 25 fire related deaths in 2014, the deadliest in over 20 years, with the State Fire Marshal relating that all but 2 of the fatalities involved having no detectors or improperly maintained ones, ie no batteries.
$55 investment, versus the cost of lives needlessly lost.......

Provincial law in new construction for permanently wired smoke detectors ... but it is good to have both. Family of 4 died couple of years ago relying on a permanent wired that went down due to a electrical fire One set of ours is interlinked - one triggers the second one - in the stove room and upstairs where kids bedrooms are.

Feeling the Heat
My new stove heats my house extremely well. But, I've noticed in automatic the blower NEVER has stopped. The installer placed the ESP under the stove and I did move it out to see if that was the problem and still no change. I know its 76 + degrees here in the room where the accentra is. And yes, I read the complete manual.

beautiful stove! Enjoy but better cut that heat back or you'll be spoiled until you run out of pellets or money!
Search for some threads here on Harman room sensor placement and such. I have seen a bunch of discussion here on this very topic. You'll likely find some good tips.
Many I see say place it up about 5 feet up and away from cold areas or drafty places. EX: Away from windows and such. I have mine right up on the wall behind my stove about 5' up and a couple of feet to the side. It is very accurate there.
Others do leave it looped behind the stove and use it to sense the return air. Every situation is different and you'll need to figure out your best placement. Some have tied them onto a chair and stuff. All kinds of options. I am not thrilled about seeing mine up on the wall but it works well so I'll deal with it.
If you flip the little switch from auto to manual the fans will cycle on and off giving you a more accurate temp but don't forget to flip it back to auto when lighting the stove or the igniter will not function
Thanks so much! Finally, the fan has stopped. I have the sensory probe as you've done up the wall behind my stove. Thank you so much. I didn't read that in the manual and the installer had it looped under the stove.
Your new and there is a lot to learn yet. I call the first ton of pellets the training wheels ton. I was there not long ago and am still learning. Read up a bunch here and participate. There is a wealth of info here. Welcome aboard! Enjoy that heat. You'll love your new stove. Many 52i peeps here. Check out the Harman sticky above. You will have to read it and digest then re-read more than a couple of times. Things are simple but can be a bit confusing at times.
No matter what someone here will help you with whatever the question or problem might be. Glad I can give back because I have gotten tons of help here. Stay Warm!
