During shoulder season a Harman stove with a functioning ignition set to AUTO will actually turn off the the stove when it gets too hot and then restart the stove automatically when the house cools down.
Unfortunately my igniter does not work and I am too cheap to replace it. After I start the stove with propane torch and the stove warms up, I make sure I switch the stove ignition switch to MANUAL. During our warm spring days this will prevent the stove from attempting to restart if the house gets too warm and has to shut down. If you have a functioning igniter that works most of the time it may be best to be on the safe side and set the ignition switch to MANUAL.
If you have an igniter that works everytime, by all means keep the ignition switch on AUTO.
