PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Manufactured by Breckwell Hearth Products Eugene, Oregon

Grand Prairie, Texas

Thank you for purchasing the Breckwell Pellet Burning Stove. You are now prepared to burn wood in the most efficient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient and most enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly; 2) Operate it correctly; and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you do all three.

PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burningroom heater. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.

Keep this manual handy for future reference.

Your Breckwell P23 comes as a fireplace insert or as a freestanding stove with legs or a pedestal.

This stove has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-95Standard Specification for Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning Type 1, UL1482-1998Standard for Solid Fuel Room Heaters, Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes(814-23-900through814-23-909)and Installation as a Stove Heater.

This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood. It is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater which is designed for connection to an outside combustion air source.

The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system and must not be burned with any type of coal (see PROPER FUEL).

This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to burn free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window. For best operation the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill up the burn pot and eventually cut off the combustion air supply.

Commercial and industrial installations of Breckwell Pellet Stoves should not be used since operational control is often not well managed in these settings.

∙Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your dealer.

∙Never use gasoline, gasolinetype lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while in use.

∙Never block free airflow through the open vents of the stove.

∙Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions are given in this manual. All other work should be done by a trained technician.

∙The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an outage does occur, check the stove for smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.

∙Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or repairs on the stove.

NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect all power from the stove.

∙Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.

∙Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this stove as well.

∙This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.

∙Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight lid and placed on a no combustible surface well away from the home structure.

∙This stove must be connected to a standard 120 V., 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the stove.

∙The exhaust system should be checked, at a minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of soot or creosote.

∙Keep foreign objects out of the

hopper.

∙Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.

∙Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the stove.

∙The viewing door must be closed and latched during operation.

∙Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot overfills with pellets. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.

∙Do not touch the hot surfaces of the heater. Educate all children of the danger of a high temperature stove. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the stove.

∙If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during the summer months).

∙The exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. The pellet vent joints must be sealed with RTV 500°F. (260°C.) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-APfoil tape.

∙Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead to smoke spillage in your home.

∙This stove is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater will void the warranty and safety listing.

∙When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be bolted to the floor, have outside air, and NOT BE INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM (Per H.U.D. requirements). Check with local building officials.

∙Breckwell Hearth Products grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or maintenance of your stove, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

The stove must be placed on a continuous (grouted joints) noncombustible material such as ceramic tile, cement board, brick, 3/8” millboard or equivalent, or other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. NOTE: ceramic tile, or any tile, requires a continuous sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface, this would include floor protection for Built-inraised hearths. Check local codes for approved alternatives.

Clearances are measured from the sides, back and face (door opening) or stove body (refer to fig. 4).

DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT MATERIALS OR COMPROMISES IN THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT.

INSTALL VENT WITH CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.

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 and 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-APfoil tape.

For mobile home installations only: 2” inside diameter pipe may be used for the first 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 feet use 2 ¾” inside diameter pipe. No combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.

Sources of Outside Combustion Air

a.In fireplaces

∙Chimney top.

∙Ash clean out door.

b.For freestanding installations

∙A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only in a ventilated crawl space.

∙A hole in the wall behind the stove.

WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED

If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air is easily available to the air inlet. A closeable outside air register can be used in tightly insulated homes. In insert installations, flashing vents should not be restricted. The flashing should not necessarily seal the fireplace face.

VENTING

The Breckwell P23 Freestanding is certified for use with listed TYPE L-Vent,3” or 4” diameter in size. The stove was tested with Simpson Duravent brand. Class “A” chimney is not required. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.

This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must be sealed with 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure consistent performance and avoid smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must be sealed withUL-181-APfoil tape. We recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be secured with a minimum of 3 screws.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)

The longer the run of pipe in your installation (both with insert and freestanding models), 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.

∙To calculate EVL, use the following conversions:

NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4” diameter vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.

FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS

A.ASSEMBLING PEDESTAL OR LEG SET

If using a pedestal, follow the instructions inside the Breckwell P23 Pedestal w/ Ashpan Part # A-P23-PNEW

Mobile home installations must use a spark arrester.

B.VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 10)

NOTE: FollowL-Ventchimney manufacturer’s instructions.

OPTION: To achieve a center vertical installation a 45º elbow and aclean-outtee can be used to offset the pipe from the exhaust outlet to the rear center of the stove.

OPTION: InstallL-Ventelbow in place ofclean-outtee. Locate stove. Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling. Install ceiling support andL-Ventpipe perL-Ventmanufacturer’s instructions.

1.Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials. When passing through additional floors or ceilings, always install firestop spacer.

2.After lining up for hole in roof, cut either around or square hole in roof, always 3” larger all the way around pipe. Install upper edge and sides of flashing under roofing materials, nail to the roof along upper edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail heads with non-hardeningwaterproof mastic.

3.Apply non-hardening,waterproof mastic where the storm collar will meet the vent and flashing. Slide storm collar down until it sits on the flashing. Seal and install cap. Mobile home installations must use a spark arrester.

C.VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM

Adapters are available to adapt from 3” L-Ventto 6” or 8”Class-Achimney. (Figure 11a)

As an alternative, 3” or 4” L-Ventcan be run inside existing chimney to termination. (Figure 11b)

This is the preferred method.

Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.

D.VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE

NOTE: FollowL-Ventchimney 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.Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, and if used the outside air pipe, as shown in Figure 12.

4.Attach the DuraVent adapter, a section of pipe and clean out tee, making sure the clean out tee is centered in the chimney flue area. Use RTV, metallic tape, and a minimum of three self-tapingscrews at all joint connections to ensure a tight seal.

5.Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.

6.Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney pipe, and if used the outside air pipe. Install and seal with non-hardeningmastic to prevent water leakage. Install vent cap.

E.INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE OF MASONRY CHIMNEY

NOTE: FollowL-Ventchimney manufacturer’s instructions.

1.Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2. Mark the center of the hole where the pipe is to pierce the masonry chimney.

2.It will be necessary to break out the masonry around the location of the pipe center mark. Use a 4-inchdiameter hole for3-inchpipe and5-inchdiameter hole for4-inchpipe.

3.Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney pipe, and if used the outside air pipe.

4.Install the tee on the bottom of the vertical pipe system and lower it down the chimney until the center branch of the tee is level with the center of the hole in the masonry, as shown in Figure 13.

5.Install and seal the top plate from step 3 with nonhardening mastic. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and while holding the pipe at the proper elevation, affix the collar with a minimum of three ¼” stainless steel sheet metal screws. Seal all joints and seams around the collar.

6.Connect the horizontal pipe by pushing it through the hole in the masonry and lining it up with the branch in the tee. Push the pipe into the tee while twisting it to lock it into the tee.

7.If desired, once the horizontal pipe is in place, the space between the pipe and masonry may be filled with high-temperaturegrout.

8.Install the trim collar. An adjustable pipe length and adapter may be needed to finish the connection to the stove.

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. In zeroclearance fireplace installations, when the fireplace opening is above the floor or raised hearth, the adjustable “Breckwell P23 Z- C Legs” (part # A-S-ZCLEGS)can be used to bridge the gap between the hearth and stove bottom. (Refer to figure 14)

A.ASSEMBLING THE FLASHING SET

Follow the instructions packaged with the P23 Flashing set part C-P23-MEDFL-CorC-P23-LGFL-C.

(Refer to Figure 15)

B.WHEN VENT PIPE EXTENDS TO CHIMNEY TOP

(Refer to Figures 16 and 17)

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-inchlengths of light gauge metal wire (not included) or metallic tape (not included). This is to protect interior components from excess heat.

3.Set the insert on the hearth and slide it in far enough to attach the vent pipe (and combustion pipe if used).

4.Attach flashing (refer to Figure 15), route power cord out the side nearest a 120V receptacle. Slide in insert.

5.Measure and build chimney top. Cut out hole for vent pipe (and combustion air intake pipe, if used). Install and seal with a non-hardeningmastic to prevent water leakage. Install the vent cap.

C.WHEN VENT PIPE EXTENDS THROUGH CHIMNEY BLANKING PLATE

(Masonry Fireplaces Only)

(Refer to Figures 16 and 17)

1.You will need a pipe length that extends 12” above the blanking plate. NOTE: This installation is optional but not recommended. Outside combustion air cannot be drawn from the chimney cavity in this installation.

2.Attach cerablanket wrap to that end of vent pipe that will connect to the stove. Use 12-inchlengths of light gauge metal wire (not included) or metallic tape. This is to protect interior components from excess heat.

3.Measure and build blanking plate. Cut out hole for vent pipe (and combustion air intake pipe, if used). Install and carefully seal blanking plate with non-hardeningmastic. Failure to properly seal may result in smoke spillage.

4.Slide vent pipe (and intake pipe if used) up through the blanking plate hole, leaving enough to pull back down.

5.Set the insert on the hearth, adjust the leveling bolts on the rear sides, and slide it in far enough to attach the vent pipe (and combustion air pipe if used). Be sure to seal where the pipe passes through the blanking plate.

6.Attach flashing (refer to Figure 15), route power cord out the side nearest a 120V receptacle. Slide in insert.

D.AS A BUILT-INFIREPLACE

Figures 18 and 19 describe a P23 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.

NOTE: Floor protection for Built-inraised hearths requires a continuous sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface.

The chase dimensions shown are minimums and must be maintained.

FIGURE 18

FIGURE 19

E.INSTALLATION IN TO A FACTORY BUILT (METAL) FIREPLACE

(Refer to figure 20)

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. The removal of any part must not alter the integrity of the listed fireplace in any way. In zero-clearancefireplace installations, when the fireplace opening is above the floor or raised hearth, the adjustable “Breckwell P23Z-CLegs” (part #A-S-ZCLEGS)can be used to bridge the gap between the hearth and stove bottom. Refer to figure 14.

The factory built fireplace must be listed per UL 127. Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting type HT requirements (2100° F) per 1777 (U.S.). The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top. The damper area must be sealed to prevent room air passage to chimney cavity.

Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted except with the following exceptions:

∙External trim pieces, which do not affect the operation of the fireplace, may be removed proving they can be stored on or within, the fireplace for re-assemblyif the insert is removed.

∙The fireplace damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

Circulating air chambers, louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.

A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back wall of the fireplace opening stating the following:

∙“This fireplace has been altered to accommodate a fireplace insert and should be inspected by a qualified person prior to re-useas a conventional fireplace.”

∙This label is available upon request.

Final approval is contingent on the authority having jurisdiction.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

This stove is provided with an 8-footgrounded electrical cord extending from the rear of the stove. We recommend connecting to a good quality surge protector that is plugged into a standardthree-prong,120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet. Voltage variations can lead to serious performance problems. The Breckwell electrical system is designed for 120V AC with no more than 5% variation. Breckwell cannot accept responsibility for poor performance or damage due to inadequate voltage. If connected to an older,two-prongoutlet, a separate ground wire should be run to a proper ground (refer this to a qualified technician). Always route the electrical cord so that it will not come in contact with any hot part of the stove.

FIGURE 20

SPECIAL MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.

Ecowater softener troubleshooting. The injector sometimes gets plugged with sediment caused by dirty salt. To clean it, first engage the softener's bypass valve to shut off the water. Next, relieve the water pressure by running the softener through a manual regeneration. Finally, remove the caps on both sides of the softener head. An EcoWater water softener system removes the impurities in your water so your skin is rinsed without hard water minerals left behind. There is no residue on your skin to trap traces of soap, dead skin cells and other particles. And no residue left behind that dries your skin.

For installation in a mobile home, an outside source of combustion air must be used (See “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY”).

The P23 must be grounded to the steel chassis of the home with 8 Ga. copper wire using a serrated or star washer to penetrate paint or protective coating to ensure grounding.

The P23 must be securely fastened to the floor of the mobile home.

Refer to “VENTING” for proper exhaust configurations.

CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

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. The design incorporates automatic feed of the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output but may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics:

a.Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines.

b.Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold them together, or “bind” them.

c.High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent maintenance. You will have to empty the burnpot plus vacuum the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could damage the auger. Breckwell cannot accept responsibility for damage due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can recommend a good quality pellet dealer in your area.

PRE-START-UPCHECK

Remove optional imitation log set if in use. Remove burnpot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall burnpot. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper, and refill if necessary.

NOTE: The P23 Hopper can hold up to 60 lbs. of pellets.

BUILDING A FIRE

Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the Breckwell approved burnpot.

NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to the metal. Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this period because paint could be affected.

THE HOTROD AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER

a.Fill hopper and clean burnpot.

b.Press “On/Off” button. Make sure light is on.

c.Adjust damper to 1/4” open (pushed in is closed). This will vary depending on your installation and elevation. Once fire is established adjust for desired flame.

d.Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat Level Advance” button.

If fire doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes and start procedure again.

PANEL CONTROLS (See Figure 21)

The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the left-handside of the P23. The control panel functions are as follows.

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 minutes.

∙The green light located above the On/Off button (in the On/Off box) will flash during the ignition start-upperiod. (See figure 21)

∙The Heat Level Advance is inoperable during the ignition start period. When the green light continuously stays on the Heat Level Advance can be adjusted to achieve the desired heat output.

NOTE: If the stove has been shut off, and you want tore-startit while it is still warm, the “on/off” button must be held down for 2 seconds.

b.FUEL FEED SWITCH

∙When the “Fuel Feed” button is pushed and held down the stove will feed pellets continuously into the burnpot.

∙While the stove’s auger system is feeding pellets the green light (in the “Fuel Feed” box) will be on. (See figure 21)

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS CONTROL DURING NORMAL OPERATION BECAUSE IT COULD SMOTHER THE FIRE AND LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

c.HIGH FAN SWITCH

∙The room air fan speed varies directly with the feed rate. The “HIGH FAN” switch overrides this variable speed function. It will set the room air blower speed to high at any feed rate setting.

∙When the “HIGH FAN” button is pushed the room air fan will switch to its highest setting.

∙When this button is pushed again the room air fan will return to its original setting based on the Heat Level Advance setting.

∙If the “HIGH FAN” setting is used for extended periods of time it can shorten the life expectancy of the room air fan. Avoid use at this setting for more than one hour at a time.

d.RESET TRIM

Different size and quality pellet fuel may require adjustment of the “1” feed setting on the Heat Level Advance bar graph. This is usually a one-time adjustment based on the fuel you are using. The “RESET TRIM” button when adjusted will allow for 3 different feed rate settings for the#1 feed setting only. To adjust simply push the “RESET TRIM” button while the stove is operating at setting “1” and watch the bar graph.

∙When the “1” & “4” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “lowest” setting. (Approx. 0.9 pounds per hour)

∙When the “1” light is illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “normal” setting.

∙When the “1” & “5” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “highest” setting.

NOTE: When the stove is set on “1” the “reset trim” values will be shown on the Heat Level Advance bar graph. For example if the Reset Trim is set to its lowest setting every time the stove is set to low the “1” and “4” lights will be illuminated on the bar graph.

e.HEAT LEVEL ADVANCE

∙This button when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will incrementally change on the bar graph starting from level “1” to “5”.

CAUTION: THE “5” SETTING IS DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY. IF USED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, IT CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE UNITS COMPONENTS. AVOID USE AT THIS SETTING FOR MORE THAN ONE OR TWO HOURS AT A TIME.

OPENING DOOR

If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If the stove shuts down push the “On/Off” button to continue the operation of your stove.

ROOM AIR FAN

When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This usually takes about 10 minutes from start-up.

RE-STARTINGA WARM STOVE

If the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-startit while it is still warm, the “on/off” button must be held down for 2 seconds.

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.

DAMPER CONTROL

The damper control rod on the stove’s lower left side adjusts the combustion air. This control is necessary due to the varied burn characteristics of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the efficiency of your stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent the rapid buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney.

You should adjust the damper based on the fire’s appearance. A low, reddish, dirty fire can be improved by pulling the damper out slightly. A “blow torch” fire can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit.

As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper should be more open. Through trial and error, you will find the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.

NOTE: On “1”, damper should be out approximately ¼” to ½”. If damper is out too far, it can cause the fire to go out.

REFUELING

We recommend that you not let the hopper drop below ¼ full.

KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.

BRECKWELL MAINTENANCE TOOL

A tool has been provided to help with the following functions:

FIGURE 22

a.Stirring pellets in hopper – unlike liquids in a tank, pellets do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging across the opening can occur. Pellets can hang up on the sides of the hopper. Occasionally “stirring” the hopper can help.

NOTE: To help prevent bridging of pellets, common wax paper can be rubbed on the sidewalls and bottom of the hopper.

b.Cleaning heat exchanger tubes – see instructions in “CLEANING”.

The Feature Tool is a DOS-bootable tool for changing various ATA features. Hitachi deskstar driver official site.

c.Scrape ashes from burnpot.

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE

Turning your Breckwell stove off is a matter of pressing the “On/Off” control panel switch. The green light will go out. The blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.

SAFETY FEATURES

a.Your stove is equipped with a resettable high temperature thermodisk. This disc has a reset button on its backside. This safety switch has two functions.

1.To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.

2.To recognize an internal control board failure and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.

Breckwell Pellet Stoves P24fs Manual

NOTE: Like a circuit breaker, once tripped, the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting your stove. The manufacturer recommends that you call your dealer if this occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem. A service call may be required.

b.In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, a high-temperaturethermodisk will automatically shut down the auger, preventing the stove from overheating.

NOTE: Thermodisk must be reset after this occurs.

c.If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch will automatically shut down the auger.

NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds during operation will cause enough pressure change to activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. Close the door and press “On/Off” button to continue operation of your stove.

OPTIONAL 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.

∙The two thermostat wires connect to the terminal block on the lower right side of the back of the control board.

(See figure 23)

∙Loosen the two screws.

∙Make sure to remove the jumper wire from the terminal block prior to connecting the wires.

∙Insert the wires in the terminal side and tighten the two screws.

SHUNTS

To change from the factory setting all that is required is to move one shunt. There is one shunt and two sets of pins on the rear upper left part of the control board. J8 or the two upper shunt and pins should be disregarded as it is for factory testing of the control board. J9 is the lower shunt and pins.

∙When the J9 shunt is over one pin, or off both pins, the digital control board is in high/low thermostat mode. THIS IS THE FACTORY SETTING FOR THE DIGITAL CONTROL BOARD.

∙When the shunt is over both pins the digital control board is in ON/OFF thermostat mode.

MODES

HIGH/LOW THERMOSTAT MODE

∙When engaged in this mode the stove will automatically switch between two settings. When warm enough, it will switch to the #1 or low setting. The room air blower will also slow to its lowest speed.

∙The Heat Level Advance setting on the bar graph will stay where it was initially set. When the house cools below the thermostat setting, the stove will switch to the feed rate of the heat level advance setting.

ON/OFF THERMOSTAT MODE

∙In this mode when the home is warm enough the stove will shut off. The fans will continue to run until the stove cools.

∙When the home cools below the thermostat setting, the stove will automatically restart and run at the last feed rate setting.

NOTE: When in “high/low” or “on/off” thermostat mode –

∙Do not operate the stove higher than the #3 setting.

∙Set damper control rod approximately ½” out. This will vary depending on elevation and weather conditions.

∙When stove is hooked up to a thermostat it will not operate in manual mode. This means that if the thermostat is switched to its “off” position the unit cannot be operated at the control panel.

∙When the stove is first plugged in it may start up on its own, THIS IS OK, let it go through the start up cycle (about 15 minutes), and it should be fine from then on.

∙YOUR THERMOSTAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR SERVICE PERSON.

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-UPCHECK”and “BUILDING A FIRE”,then attempt to restart the fire. If the problem persists contact your dealer.

b.DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR BRECKWELL STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINETYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.

c.WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty. It also may create a fire hazard in your home.IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately press the “POWER” switch on the control panel.

d.KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS, ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.

e.Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion process. Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside air vent to provide sufficient combustion air.

f.Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove,

it would be wise to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a fire extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.

g.Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape.

h.Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation.

i.Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.

j.Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken.

k.If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during the summer months).

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-fittinglid. 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. If ashes are disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

ASH DISPOSAL – FREESTANDING MODELS

The P23 Freestanding has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes:

a.Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.

b.Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 24).

c.Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot by grasping it, and the slider plate, and pulling straight out (refer to Figure 25).

d.Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool. Make sure burnpot holes are not plugged.

e.Scrape ash in firebox into the under-stovebin through the opening under the slider plate (see Figure 26) or vacuum to remove ashes.

WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.

f.Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure 27) by pulling on handle below ash lip.

Dispose of ashes properly. (See “ASH REMOVAL” above)

g.Replace ash bin.

h.Replace burn pot and slider plate. Make sure the burn pot is level and it, and the slider plate, are both pushed all the way back in when they are reinstalled. If the burn pot is not reinstalled properly, the Hot Rod will not work properly.

ASH DISPOSAL - INSERT

Remove ashes periodically as they fill the firebox. To remove ashes:

a.Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.

b.Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 24).

c.Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot by grasping and pulling straight out.

d.Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool. Make sure burnpot holes are not plugged.

e.Use small shovel or vacuum to remove ashes. WARNING:

Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.

f.Replace burn pot. Make sure it is level and pushed all the way back on. If not reinstalled properly, the Hot Rod will not work properly.

VACUUM USE

If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes.

(We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949Ext. #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.Heat Exchange Tubes – Your Breckwell stove is designed with abuilt-inheat exchange tube cleaner. This should be used every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on the tubes, which reduces heat transfer on the P23. Insert the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod (refer to figure 24). The cleaner rod is located in the grill above the stove door. Move the cleaner rod back and forth several times to clean the heat exchanger tubes. Be sure to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.

b.Interior Chambers – Four ash doors in the firebox in the P23 can be removed for periodic cleaning (refer to figure 26). These doors allow access to the chamber surrounding the firebox.

Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from this chamber. In some cases you will need to remove creosote, which can accumulate rapidly under certain conditions. A small wire brush can be used. It is important to remove this creosote because it is highly combustible. INSPECT BEHIND THESE CLEANING PLATES AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND CREOSOTE ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES. Use the small wire brush to also clean the inside of the chamber walls, above the access doors.

BLOWERS

DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.

∙ Cleaning – Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect on the blades of both the combustion blower and convection blower. Periodically the blowers should be vacuumed clean as these ashes can impede performance. Creosote can also accumulate in the combustion blower. This needs to be brushed clean. The convection blower is accessed by opening the stove’s left side panel. The combustion blower can be accessed by opening the stoves right side panel. The convection blower is on the left (facing stove), and the combustion blower is on the right.

Breckwell Pellet Stoves

NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge balancing clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades. Some stove owners lightly spray ananti-creosotechemical on the fire to help reduce creosote formation within the stove.

∙ Oiling – Convection blower only. Manufacturer suggests oiling every 6 months. Refer to figure 28a & 29 for lubrication points. Use SAE 20W motor oil or turbine oil. Limit to one or two drops.

CHIMNEY CLEANING

a.Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue or a newly started fire or from aslow-burningfire. 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. Despite their high efficiency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions.

b.Fly Ash – This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an exhaust run. Though noncombustible, it may impede the normal exhaust flow. It should therefore be periodically removed.

c.Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected annually or per ton to determine if a creosote or fly ashbuild-uphas occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.

The creosote should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. A qualified chimney sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired.

To clean the chimney, detach the vent at the combustion blower transition where it is attached to the blower.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Use this as a guide under average-useconditions.

Gasket around door and door glass should be inspected and repaired or replaced when necessary (see “REPLACEMENT PARTS”).

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS

While wearing leather gloves (or any other gloves suitable for handling broken glass), carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from the doorframe. Dispose of all broken glass properly. Return the damaged door to your Breckwell Dealer for repair or replacement.

Breckwell Pellet Stove Parts Amazon

Neither the appliance owner nor any other unauthorized person(s) should replace the door glass. An authorized Breckwell dealer must perform all repairs involving door glass.

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. Refer to figures 28, 29 and 30 to help locate indicated parts.
