    The flashing should not necessarily seal the fireplace face. VENTING The Breckwell P24 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.

  • Page 7: Freestanding Installations

    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.
  • Page 8 VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 9a & 9b) 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 (see figure 9a).
  • Page 9 VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM Adapters are available to adapt from 3” L-Vent to 6” or 8” Class-A chimney. (Figure 10a) As an alternative, 3” or 4” L-Vent can be run inside existing chimney to termination. (Figure 10b) This is the preferred method. Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.
  • Page 10 VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. Have the masonry chimney inspected by a qualified chimney sweep or installer to determine its structural condition. 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.

    “Breckwell P24 Z-C Skirt” (part # A-ZC-SKRT), or “Breckwell P24 Z-C Legs” (part #A-S-ZCLEGS), can be used to bridge the gap between the hearth and stove bottom.
  • Page 12 WHEN VENT PIPE EXTENDS TO CHIMNEY TOP (Refer to Figure 15) 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.
  • Page 13 INSTALLATION AS A BUILT-IN FIREPLACE Figures 16 and 17 describe a P24 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.

  • Page 14: Electrical Installation

    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-prong outlet, a separate ground wire should be run to a proper ground (refer this to a qualified technician).

  • Page 15: Operation

    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.

  • Page 16: Opening Door

    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.

  • Page 17: If Stove Runs Out Of Pellets

    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.

  • Page 18: 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.

    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.

  • Page 21: Vacuum Use

    CLEANING Heat Exchange Tubes – Your Breckwell stove is designed with a built-in heat 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 P24.

  • Page 22: Chimney Cleaning

    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.

  • Page 29: Smoke Smell Or Soot Build-Up

    SMOKE SMELL OR SOOT BUILD-UP Because it is a wood-burning device, your Breckwell may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond normal, or if you notice an unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks. All joints should be properly sealed. Also clean your stove, following instructions in “MAINTENANCE”.
