INTRODUCTION

Note

which

model

you

have

purchased

(either

P24FSA,

P24FSL

freestanding

models

or

P24I

built-in

fireplace

or

fire¬

place

insert).

Some

instructions

refer

to

only

one

model

or

the

other.

This

stove

has

been

independently

tested

and

approved

in

accordance

with

the

relevant

portions

of

ULC

S627

CSA

B366.2-M1983

“Standard

for

Space

Heaters

tor

use

with

new

rules

for

mobile

homes

(814-

23-900

through

and

installation

as

a

stove

heater.

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

free

standing

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

feeding

systems

and

must

not

be

burned

with

any

type

of

coal

(see

section

3.1).

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

the

performance

and

will

be

evidenced

by

a

smoking

exhaust

and

a

sooting

window.

For

the

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

as

this

will

rapidly

fill

up

the

burn

pot

and

eventually

cut

oft

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.

2.0

air

is

easily

available

to

the

inlet.

In

P241

installations,

flashing

vents

should

not

be

restricted.

The

2.4

VENTING

The

Breckwell

P24FSA

and

P24FSL

are

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

manu¬

facturer,

especially

when

passing

through

a

wall,

ceiling

or

roof.

Do

not

connect

this

unit

to

a

chimney

flue

serving

another

appliance.

Do

not

install

a

flue

damper

in

the

exhaust

vent

of

this

unit.

This

is

a

pressurized

exhaust

system.

The

pipe

joints

should

be

sealed

to

ensure

consistent

performance

and

avoid

smoke

spillage.

Equivalent

Vent

Length

(EVL)

The

longer

the

run

of

pipe

in

your

installation

(both

with

inserts

and

freestandings),

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.

To

calculate

EVL,

use

the

following

conversions:

access

information.

The

fireplace

and

chimney

should

be

cleaned

thoroughly

before

starting

installation.

We

suggest

painting

the

interior

of

old

and

dirty

fireplaces

to

seal

any

odors.

In

zero-clearance

fireplace

installations,

when

the

fireplace

opening

is

above

the

floor

or

raised

hearth,

the

adjustable

“Breckwell

zero-clearance

skirt"

can

be

used

to

bridge

the

gap

between

hearth

and

stove

bottom

The

P24I

exhaust

can

be

adapted

for

top

or

rear

venting

(see

figure

14).

The

unit

comes

from

the

factory

set

up

for

top

vent.

To

change,

remove

screws,

break

silicone

seal,

remove

adapter,

reposition

for

rear

exhaust,

reattach

screws,

seal

with

high

temperature

silicone.

3.0

OPERATION

3.1

P

ROPER

FUEL

THIS

STOVE

IS

APPROVED

FOR

BURNING

PELLETIZED

WOOD

FUEL

ONLY!

Factory-approved

pellets

are

those

1/4"

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

stove’s

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

which

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

burn

pot

plus

vacuum

the

entire

system

more

often.

Poor

quality

pellets

could

damage

the

auger.

National

Steelcrafters

of

Oregon,

Inc.

cannot

accept

responsibility

for

damage

due

to

poor

quality

pellets.

Your

dealer

can

recommend

a

good

quality

pellet

in

your

area.

3.4

P

ANEL

CONTROLS

(see

figure

1

0)

The

blowers

and

automatic

fuel

supply

(auger)

are

controlled

from

a

panel

on

the

left

side

of

the

stove.

A

hinged

door

covers

the

panel

during

normal

operation.

The

on-off

switch

turns

the

blowers

on.

The

“auger”

button

activates

the

automatic

feed

system.

When

the

green

light

is

on,

there

is

power

to

the

auger

circuit.

The

auger

will

not

begin

feeding

pellets

until

the

firebox

has

warmed

up

to

a

preset

temperature.

In

case

of

a

power

outage

lasting

more

than

three

to

six

seconds,

this

button

must

be

pushed

to

re-engage

the

auger.

There

are

six

fuel

feed

settings.

On

“LOW”,

the

feed

rate

is

approximately

0.75

to

1.5

lb.

per

hour.

On

“MAX”

the

feed

rate

is

approximately

4.25

to

4.75

lbs.

per

hour.

PAGE

7

CAUTION:

The

“MAX”

setting

is

designed

for

temporary

use

only.

If

used

for

extended

periods,

It

can

shorten

the

life

expectancy

of

the

unit’s

components.

Avoid

use

at

this

setting

for

more

than

one

or

two

hours

at

a

time.

The

convection

blower

speed

varies

directly

with

feed

rate.

The

“High

Fan”

switch

overrides

this

variable

speed

function.

It

will

set

the

convection

blower

speed

to

high

at

any

feed

rate

setting.

The

“Manual

Feed"

switch

allows

you

to

add

fuel

to

the

bum

pot

automatically.

CAUTION:

Do

not

use

this

control

during

normal

operation

as

it

could

smother

the

fire

and

lead

to

a

dangerous

condition

(see

section

3.92

a).

During

normal

Figure

10

operation,

this

switch

should

be

in

its

center

position,

neither

on

‘HIGH

FAN"

or

“MANUAL

FEED".

3.5

OPTIONAL

THERMOSTAT

A

remote

thermostat

may

help

you

maintain

a

constant

house

temperature

automatically.

A

miljiyolt

thermostat

is

required.

When

engaged,

the

stove

will

automatically

switch

between

two

settings.

When

warm

enough,

it

will

switch

to

“LOW",

which

also

slows

the

convection

blower.

If

the

house

then

cools

below

your

thermostat

setting

it

will

switch

to

the

feed

rate

of

your

knob

setting

with

a

maximum

rate

of

“D”.

The

thermostat

should

be

installed

by

a

qualified

service

person.

NOTE:

When

using

the

thermostat,

it

is

important

to

set

your

damper

control

rod

at

approximately

halfway

between

a

“LOW"

burn

setting

and

your

higher

bum

setting.

3.6

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

build-up

of

creosote

inside

your

stove

and

chimney.

You

should

adjust

the

clamper

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

settings.

Consult

your

dealer

if

you

need

help.

NOTE:

On

“LOW”,

damper

should

be

out

approximately

1/8"-1/4".

If

damper

is

out

too

far,

it

can

cause

the

fire

to

go

out.

3.7

REFUEUNG

We

recommend

that

you

not

let

the

hopper

drop

below

%

full.

KEEP

HOPPER

LID

CLOSED

AT

ALL

TIMES

EXCEPT

WHEN

REFILLING.

DO

NOT

OVERFILL

HOPPER.

3.8

BRECKWELL

MAINTENANCE

TOOL

A

tool

has

been

provided

to

help

with

the

following

functions:

a.

Stir

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,

section

4.2.

c.

Scrape

ashes

3.9

SHUT

DOWN

PROCEDURE

Turning

your

Breckwell

stove

off

is

a

matter

of

pressing

the

on/off

control

panel

switch

to

to

a

preset

level.

3.91

SAFETY

FEATURES

a.

If

there

is

a

power

outage

longer

than

a

few

seconds,

the

auger

will

not

operate

once

power

is

restored.

This

prevents

pellets

from

being

fed

to

a

non-burning

bum

pot.

Pressing

the

auger

button

on

the

panel

control

will

reactivate

the

auger

circuit.

The

blowers

will

come

on

when

power

is

restored

to

evacuate

the

combustion

chamber

of

gases

and

stay

on

until

off

switch

is

pushed.

b.

In

case

of

a

malfunctioning

convection

blower,

a

high

temperature

thermodisk

will

automatically

shut

down

the

auger,

preventing

the

stove

from

overheating.

When

stove

has

cooled,

restart

as

instructed

in

sections

3.2

and

3.3.

c.

If

the

combustion

blower

fails,

an

air

pressure

switch

will

automatically

shut

down

the

auger.

NOTE:

Opening

the

stove

door

or

pedestal

ash

door

(P24FSA

model

only)

during

operation

will

cause

enough

pressure

change

to

activate

the

air

switch.

Closing

the

door

and

depressing

the

“auger”

button

will

restart

the

system.

WARNING:

DO

NOT

OVERFIRE

THIS

STOVE.

This

may

cause

serious

damage

to

your

e.

Maintain

proper

ventilation.

It

is

important

that

adequate

oxygen

be

supplied

to

the

fire

for

the

combustion

process.

Modem

air.

f.

Since

heating

with

a

solid

fuel

fire

is

potentially

hazardous,

even

with

a

well

made

and

thoroughly

tested

stove,

it

would

be

wise

to

install

strategically

placed

smoke

detectors

and

have

Interior

Chambers

—Four

(4)

cover

plates

in

the

firebox

can

be

removed

for

periodic

cleaning

(see

figures

13A

&

13B).

All

four

doors

allow

access

to

the

chamber

surrounding

the

lirebox.

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

since

it

is

highly

combustible.

INSPECT

BEHIND

THESE

COVER

PLATES

AT

LEAST

ONCE

PER

TON

OF

PELLETS

BURNED

UNTIL

YOU

ARE

FAMILIAR

WITH

HOW

ASHES

AND

ACCUMULATE

WITH

YOUR

B

LOWERS

a.

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

P24FSA

and

P24FSL

convection

blower

Figure

13B

is

accessed

by

removing

the

stove’s

left

side

panel

(rear

sheet

must

come

off

first).

The

combustion

blower

is

accessed

through

door

C

(see

figure

13A).

The

P24I

convection

and

combustion

blowers

are

accessed

by

pulling

stove

out

of

fireplace.

The

convection

blower

is

on

the

left

(facing

stove),

combustion

Mower

on

the

right.

NOTE:

Be

careful

when

cleaning

not

to

dislodge

balancing

clip

on

convection

blower,

or

bend

fan

blades.

Some

stove

owners

lightly

spray

an

anti-creosote

chemical

on

the

fire

to

help

reduce

creosote

formation

within

the

stove.

b.

Oiling—

Annually

oil

your

convection

blower

only.

See

figures

15

and

16

for

lubrication

points.

Use

SAE

20W

motor

oil.

Limit

to

one

or

two

drops.

4.4

C

HIMNEY

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

of

a

newly

started

fire

or

from

a

slow

burning

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.

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

at

least

monthly

during

the

heating

season

to

determine

if

a

creosote

or

fly

ash

build-up

has

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.
