INSTALLATION Floor Protection Freestanding installations require a minimum 33 ¼” wide by 36” long floor protection. 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.
Voltage variations or incorrect polarity can lead to serious performance problems, especially related to the control board. The Breckwell electrical system is designed for 120V AC with no more than 5% variation. The polarity of the outlet should also be checked during installation. Most hardware stores carry an inexpensive polarity checker. Breckwell cannot accept responsibility for poor performance or damage due to inadequate voltage or incorrect polarity.
For installation in a mobile home, the outside air connection (fresh air) must be used. The Breckwell SP 6000 Multi-fuel 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.

INSTALLATION Vertically Into Existing Masonry Fireplace NOTE: F ’ OLLOW ENT 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.
OPERATION OPERATION Proper Fuel The SP 6000 Multi-Fuel Stove is capable of burning whole shelled corn and wood pellets. The quality of the fuel you use will have a dramatic effect in the performance of the stove. Higher quality fuels will provide a cleaner and more efficient burn, while producing less ash, and generally reducing the amount of creosote developed in the stove and exhaust flue.
OPERATION First Time Use Pre-Start Check Prior to using your stove for the first time, make sure that it is properly installed in accordance with all recommendations in the owner’s manual and your local building codes. Ensure that all foreign objects are out of the hopper, ash pan, and firebox area.
OPERATION Control Panel The control panel is located on the left hand side of the SP 6000 Multi-Fuel Stove. It will allow you to control the operation of your stove and achieve the desired level of warmth. Turning the unit On or Off, as well as adjusting the heat level setting, and adjusting the convection fan speed is all accomplished with the control panel.
OPERATION The adjustment of the heat level by one level will take effect within 30 seconds. If the heat level setting is adjusted by two or more levels, either up or down, there is a built-in delay of three minutes between levels after the first change. This is to allow the fire to stabilize between each heat levels.
OPERATION CAUTION: AVOID OVERFIRING YOUR STOVE! If at any time you observe a portion of the stove glowing red (other than the stir rod in the burn pot), you are overfiring the unit or some other malfunction has occurred. Immediately initiate shut down procedures by pressing the On/Off button one time.
OPERATION Heat Level Light Indicators The SP 6000 Multi-Fuel Stove has five heat level settings that range from Low to High. This display serves multiple purposes and you need to be familiar with these purposes. These five settings show you not only what heat level setting the stove is operating on, but they will also show you what speed your convection blower is running.
Installing an optional thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature automatically. A millivolt thermostat is required for proper operation. A fixed wall mount or Breckwell’s hand held remote could be used. (Contact your dealer or Breckwell to purchase a remote control or for more information.) ...

MAINTENANCE Cleaning Interior Chambers The two ash cleanout doors in the firebox can be removed for periodic cleaning. These doors allow access to the chamber behind the firebox. You must periodically vacuum ashes from this chamber. Depending on the amount of fuel you burn and the ash content of the fuel, you may need to clean these chambers as often as every other week.
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.
