TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------SPECIFICATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Preparation ----------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION 5 FREESTANDING Width: 29 1/8” Height: 30 1/8” Depth: 22 5/8” Weight: 300 lbs. Flue size: 3” or 4” Hopper Capacity: Up to 70 lbs. (This can vary widely depending on pellet size, length, and diameter) EPA status: exempt Burn rate: 1 lb. to 5.5 lbs.
INSTALLATION COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figures 5 & 6). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 7). All connections must be secured and airtight by either using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil tape.
INSTALLATION 7 Equivalent Vent Length (EVL) The longer the run of pipe in your installation (both with insert and freestanding), the more restriction there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe should be used. • Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length. • Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL. • Recommended vertical runs to be a minimum of 8 feet.
INSTALLATION A. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 9) NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. OPTION: To achieve a center vertical installation a 45º elbow and a clean-out tee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet to the rear center of the stove. OPTION: Install L-Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate stove. Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling.
INSTALLATION C. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. 1. Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or installer to determine its structural condition. 2. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from the hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches. 3.
INSTALLATION INSERT INSTALLATIONS Insert installations must be vented with 3” or 4” pipe. Pipe may be single wall stainless steel flexible pipe. Vent may terminate within chimney beyond a blanking plate or extend to the chimney top. See “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY” for outside air access information. The fireplace and chimney should be cleaned thoroughly before starting the installation. We suggest painting the interior of particularly old and dirty fireplaces to seal any odors.
INSTALLATION B. WHEN VENT PIPE EXTENDS TO CHIMNEY TOP (Refer to Figure 15) 1. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height (from hearth) plus 6 inches. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a pipe length (see “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY”) equal to the chimney height plus 12 inches. 2. Attach cerablanket wrap to that end of vent pipe that will connect to the stove. Use 12-inch lengths of light gauge metal wire (not included) or metallic tape (not included).
INSTALLATION D. AS A BUILT-IN FIREPLACE Figures 16 and 17 describe a P2000 installation vented into either a special chase built outside an outer wall or a false inside wall. This is especially suited for new construction or remodeling. The equipment compartment (sides and rear of the stove in fireplace) must be enclosed per the applicable electrical standards.
INSTALLATION E. 13 INSTALLATION IN TO A FACTORY BUILT (METAL) FIREPLACE (refer to figure 18) When installing into a factory built fireplace, the firebox must accept the insert without modification other than removing bolted or screwed together pieces such as smoke shelf/deflectors, ash lips, screen or door tracks and damper assemblies. These items must be reinstalled to restore the fireplace to its original operating condition if the insert is removed and not replaced.
OPERATION PROPER FUEL THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼” or 5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties.
OPERATION a. ON/OFF SWITCH • When pushed the stove will automatically ignite. No other firestarter is necessary. The igniter will stay on for at least 10 and up to 15 minutes, depending on when Proof of Fire is reached. The fire should start in about 5 to 7 minutes. The green light located above the On/Off button (in the On/Off box) will flash during the ignition start-up period. (See figure 19) The Heat Level Advance is inoperable during the ignition start period.
OPERATION IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 to 45 minutes. After the stove components stop running the “On/Off” and the BAR GRAPH lights stay on for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes the “3” light on the bar graph will flash and the “On/Off” light will go off. To restart, refill hopper and press “Fuel Feed” button until pellets begin to fall into burnpot. Press “On/Off” button.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THERMOSTAT A thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt thermostat is required. A fixed wall mount or Breckwell’s hand held model can be used. The control panel can be set up two ways to operate your stove in thermostat mode. THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION • • • • • • • A MILLIVOLT THERMOSTAT IS REQUIRED. Unplug stove from power outlet. Remove control board from stove.
OPERATION OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ THIS! a. If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible flame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in firebox, immediately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the stove. Wait until firebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in “PRE-START-UP CHECK” and “BUILDING A FIRE”, then attempt to restart the fire. If the problem persists contact your dealer. b.
MAINTENANCE 19 FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT. NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly. ASH REMOVAL Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal.
MAINTENANCE VACUUM USE If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes. (We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949 Ext. #27) Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage. CLEANING a. b. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your Breckwell stove is designed with a built-in heat exchange tube cleaner.
MAINTENANCE FIGURE 27a 21 FIGURE 27b CHIMNEY CLEANING a. Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled b. c. moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue or a newly started fire or from a slowburning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE When your stove acts out of the ordinary, the first reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time and money by enabling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems can be caused by to only five factors: 1) poor fuel; 2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve those problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE # 3 LIGHT FLASHES Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible) 1. The hopper is out of pellets. Refill the hopper. 2. The air damper is too far open for a low feed setting. If burning on the low setting, you may need to close the damper all the way (push the knob in so it touches the side of the stove). 3. The burnpot is not pushed completely to the rear of the firebox.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Air damper open too far for ignition. Push the air damper in closer to the side of the stove for startup. In some situations it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place. After there is a flame, the damper can then be adjusted for the desired feed setting. 2. Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES ON AS DESIGNED Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. F2 fuse on control board blew Remove the control board. On the back there are two fuses. The one closer to the edge is the F2 fuse. If it appears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and try to run the unit. 2. High limit switch has tripped or is defective Using the owner’s manual, locate the high limit thermodisk.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE • GLASS “SOOT’S” UP AT A VERY FAST RATE • FLAME IS LAZY, DARK, AND HAS BLACK TIPS • AFTER STOVE HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, THE BURNPOT OVERFILLS Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Stove or vent pipe is dirty, which restricts airflow through the burnpot. Follow all cleaning procedure in the maintenance section of the owner’s manual. 2. Vent pipe installed improperly. Check to make sure the vent pipe has been installed according to the criteria in the owner’s manual. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE HIGH LIMIT SWITCH KEEPS TRIPPING Possible Causes: 1. Possible Remedies: The convection blower is overheating and tripping the internal temperature shutoff. Try lubricating the convection blower. Put 1-2 drops of SAE 20 oil in each of the two oiling ports. Also, clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If oiling the blower does not help, the blower may be bad. 2. The stove is being left on the highest setting for extended periods of time.
