Page 7: Combustion Air Supply
In fireplaces, outside air can be piped to the stove from the chimney top, fireplace ash clean out door, or a hole drilled through the back of the fireplace. The run of pipe for the combustion air supply should be as short as possible for the best performance. For freestanding installations, this could be a hole in the floor near the stove rear terminating in a ventilated crawl space, or a hole in the wall behind the stove. In tightly insulated homes, a closeable outside air register can be used. HEN UTSIDE IR S OT If outside air is not used, it is important that the combustion air inlet is not restricted or blocked in any way. LECTRICAL NSTALLATION This stove is provided with a 6‐foot grounded electrical cord extending from the rear of the stove. We recommend connecting to a good, that is plugged into a standard three‐prong, 120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet. It is highly HIGH QUALITY SURGE PROTECTOR recommended that you get a surge protector rated as close to 130 Volts and 10 AMPS as possible. The closer your surge protector is to these ratings, the greater the protection for your stove. 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. If connected to an older, two‐prong outlet, a separate ground wire must be run to a proper ground (contact a qualified electrician). Always route the electrical cord so that it will not come in contact with any hot part of the stove. ...

Page 11: Operation
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 7 OPERATION ROPER The SP6000 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. For these reasons we strongly recommend that you use the highest quality of fuels available in your area, and that you experiment with a couple of different brands before settling on a particular brand. Once you find a quality fuel, keep using that brand or source to achieve consistent burns. NOTE: T HE USE OF OTHER THAN WOOD PELLETS CONFORMING TO THE ELLET UELS NSTITUTE STANDARDS OR WHOLE SHELLED CORN IS NOT APPROVED AND . MAY RESULT IN THE UNSAFE OPERATION OF THE STOVE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY . Although it does not happen frequently, there has been more than one bag of LWAYS CHECK YOUR FUEL SUPPLY FOR FOREIGN OBJECTS corn or pellets that had foreign objects such as screws, bolts, nuts, etc., accidentally packaged along with the corn or wood pellet. For that reason we strongly recommend that you check your fuel for foreign objects. The stove warranty does not cover damages caused by foreign objects in the fuel supply. SHELLED CORN  Corn must be clean and free of any debris. Never burn corn directly from the field. You should use only clean and filtered bagged corn.  C . Ideally, the corn will be as low of a moisture content as possible for best ORN MUST HAVE LESS THAN MOISTURE performance. 12% moisture is the highest that should ever be used. Wet corn will not burn as reliably and can lead to the deterioration of stove components, reduced efficiency, and void all warranties.  Store the corn in a dry place and keep the bags or containers sealed. This will help to prevent the corn from absorbing excess moisture. ...
Page 12: First Time Use Pre -Start Check
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 8 IRST TART HECK 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. 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 the paint finish could be affected. The first time you use your stove, or anytime that you allow the hopper to run out of fuel, you will need to prime the auger before fuel will be fed into the burn pot as the auger system will be empty. Simply press and hold the Fuel Feed button for several minutes until some fuel begins to fall into the burn pot. IGHTING IRECTIONS Remove the burn pot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall burn pot. It is important to have the fuel spreader located toward the rear of the stove. Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient). If a dry cloth is not sufficient, feel free to use a small amount of Windex or 409. Spray the cloth lightly prior to wiping the glass. Wait for the glass to dry if you used a cleaner before you light the stove. Check fuel in the hopper, and refill if necessary. WARNING: NEVER USE CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, GASOLINE, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS AS A FIRE STARTER. Keep all such liquids away from the stove while in use, and never store these liquids in close proximity to the stove. Use only approved fire starters. Your local dealer can provide you with approved fire starters. Follow the directions below in order to start a fire when using corn or wood. When starting a fire DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE UNIT ‐ and the stove is burning well. This will take 10 to 15 minutes. UNTIL ALL START UP PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED  Make sure the stove is in the “Off” mode (All lights on the control panel are off).  Make sure the stir rod is in place and securely attached. Although unnecessary for wood pellets, the stir rod is required for burning corn. ...
Page 13: Control Panel
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 9 ONTROL ANEL The control panel is located on the left hand side of the SP6000 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 setting the appropriate fuel type is all accomplished with the control panel. The unit has two modes of operation. The mode of operation switch can be adjusted to change between each mode of operation. One is for use with a thermostat (Thermostat), and the other is for use without a thermostat (Manual). The ON/OFF button will turn your unit on or off depending on which mode it is in currently. When you first start your stove by pressing the ON/OFF button, the stove will go into its start‐ up cycle. The combustion fan will come on (low setting) and the unit will conduct a self‐ diagnostics. Four minutes later, the auger will begin to feed fuel into the burn pot. The FUEL TYPE button allows you to select either Pellets or Corn depending upon the fuel type you are using. This unit is only approved for use with wood pellets or whole shelled corn. If burning a mixture of corn and pellets you should select corn. Having the wrong fuel type selected could result in damage to your stove and increase safety hazards. NOTE: I T IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SELECT THE PROPER FUEL TYPE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FUEL YOU . ARE BURNING The HEAT LEVEL button will increase or decrease the heat level setting of your stove from Low (1) to High (5). DO NOT USE THE HIGH SETTING OF #5 FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. The #5 heat level setting should only be used for short durations (two hours max) at a time with several hours between each use of the #5 setting. Using the #5 heat level setting for long periods will greatly shorten the life expectancy of your stove, its components, and may even lead to damage or warping of the unit. The Heat Levels serve a dual purpose of providing diagnostic information if your stove is not operating correctly by a flashing light on either the second (AS – Air Switch), third (POF – Proof of Fire Thermodisc), or fourth (HT – High Temp Thermodisc) heat level. If the AS Light is flashing, this is an indication that the problem is related to airflow in the unit. Most of the time this is related to a dirty stove or exhaust pipe. Cleaning your stove and/or exhaust pipe well will generally resolve this problem. Also keep in mind that ...
Page 14: General Operation
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 10 ENERAL PERATION The following information should help you understand how your SP6000 Multi‐Fuel stove functions. Be sure to read these instructions carefully so that you understand the proper operation of your stove. If you need assistance or do not understand these directions your dealer should be able to assist you. You can also look at our website for some additional information and contact information for technical support. Once your press the ON/OFF button on your stove, the combustion fan will start immediately and the unit will go into a pre‐ programmed start‐up cycle. START‐UP CYCLE When the unit is first started, or when restarting after the power has been interrupted, it will initially be in a pre‐programmed start‐ up cycle. This start‐up cycle will last seven minutes. During this period the stove will not function on the heat level setting you have selected. Instead, the unit will function at low heat level setting (#1) until the start‐up cycle is completed. Once the stove has reached the minimum operating temperature, the convection blower will come on and begin to blow air into the room. A short time later, the unit will complete the start‐up cycle and the unit will advance to the heat level setting you have the stove set to. CHANGING HEAT LEVELS When adjusting the heat level setting, keep in mind that you will experience an approximate 3 minute delay between successive heat level increases. This delay is there in order to allow the fire to stabilize between each heat level setting. This delay affects not only the auger feed rate, but also the blower speeds. When the Heat Level setting is increased or decreased, the fuel feed rate, convection fan speed and combustion fan speed are all affected after the 3 minute built‐in delay. NOTE: W HENEVER YOU CHANGE THE HEAT LEVEL SETTING IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO OBSERVE THE FIRE FOR OR MINUTES AND TO ADJUST THE . DAMPER IF NEEDED DAMPER CONTROL The damper is located just beneath the main door. You will initially adjust your damper for the best performance of your stove depending on your operating heat level, altitude, exhaust configuration, and type and quality of fuel. After that, you should not need to adjust the damper on a regular basis unless you ...
Page 15 Chapter 2 – Operation Page 11 BLOWER SPEEDS The convection blower (the one that blows air into the room), and the combustion blower are both controlled by the control panel depending on which heat level setting you set the stove on. The Blowers will operate at a pre‐programmed speed depending upon the heat level setting you are operating the stove at. However, you can manually adjust the convection blower speed. You can increase the convection blower speed above the pre‐programmed level by pressing the High Fan button. For optimal heat output and longevity of the convection blower, you should allow the convection fan to be controlled by the control panel most of the time. In most cases, you will only want to increase the convection fan speed when you lower the heat level setting by more than two levels. In such a case return it to the normal speed for the heat level you are operating the stove on after about 15 minutes. NOTE: R . UNNING THE CONVECTION FAN ON THE HIGH SETTING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WILL DEGRADE THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR CONVECTION BLOWER SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES The shut down procedures for the SP6000 Multi‐fuel stove are simple and straight forward. Simply press the ON/OFF button one time and your unit will go into a pre‐programmed shut down mode. Although not required, you may wish to open the damper completely. Your blowers will continue to run for as much as a half an hour or more until the stove cools to below approximately 90 degrees F. Allow the stove to complete its shut down procedure completely and do not unplug the stove until completed. During the shut‐down procedure, some fuel in the auger system will be purged and dumped into the burn‐pot. 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. Allow the unit to go through the pre‐programmed shut down cycle and contact your dealer. Observe the unit to ensure it does indeed shut down properly. Do not unplug the stove as this will prevent the blowers from running and cooling your unit and could result in admitting smoke into the house. RESTARTING A WARM STOVE On occasion, the stove may have to be restarted when, for example, it has been shut off for ash cleaning. If there is no fire or glowing embers in the burn pot and no smoke present in the firebox, the viewing door can be opened. If the door is open for 30 seconds or more while the fans are running, the air pressure safety switch will deactivate and prevent the auger feed from operating, as indicated by the Heat Level 2 (red) light blinking. The fans will continue to run. You may then remove the Stir Rod Cotter Pin and remove the Stir Rod and Burn Pot to remove the ashes and unburned fuel. CAUTION: THE BURN POT AND STIR ROD WILL BE HOT AND CAN CAUSE BURNS TO UNPROTECTED SKIN. USE THERMALLY INSULATED GLOVES TO REMOVE THE STIR ROD COTTER PIN, STIR ROD AND BURN POT. Following the Lighting Instructions, place wood pellets in the burn pot, apply starter gel and light. Allow one to two minutes for the wood pellets to catch fire. Then shut the door, and press the On/Off button on the Control Panel. After approximately four minutes, you should observe the stove resume feeding fuel to the burn pot. OPENING THE FUEL HOPPER LID ...
Page 16: Heat Level Light Indicators
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 12 EVEL IGHT NDICATORS The SP6000 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 error diagnostic codes if your stove is not operating properly. During normal operation one of the heat level lights will be lit up. As you press this HEAT LEVEL button you can increase or decrease the heat level setting from Low to High. Whichever light is lit is the heat level setting you have the stove set to. Keep in mind that when you change the heat level (either up or down), there is a three minute delay between each change to allow the stove to adjust to the new fuel rate. For example, let’s assume that you are running the stove on the Low heat level. You want to increase the stove to the third heat level setting to get more heat. Press the HEAT LEVEL advance button and the second light will come on. Press it again, and the third light will come on. After approximately three minutes the auger feed rate and convection fan speed will increase to the second heat level setting. The stove will continue to function on the second heat level setting for three minutes. After three minutes the auger feed rate and convection fan speed will then increase to the third heat level setting. The highest heat level (#5) should only be used for short periods of time in order to rapidly bring up the temperature of your home. Do not use this setting for more than 2 hours at a time, and be sure to allow several hours between each use. Prolonged use of this setting could damage your stove, shorten the life of the stove components, and even void your warranty. If you feel the need to use the #5 setting for long periods of time, you should consider using your home furnace to supplement your heat. DIAGNOSTICS The Heat Level lights will also give you an error message if the stove is not functioning properly, or if the stove shuts down during normal operation for some reason. This error message will be a flashing light on either the second (AS – Air Switch), third (POF – Proof of Fire Thermodisc), or fourth (HT – High Temp Thermodisc) heat level. It is very important to take notice of which light is flashing if you are having trouble operating your stove. This is a critical piece of information to supply to your dealer or the technical support department. If the AS Light is flashing, this is an indication that the problem is related to airflow in the unit. Most of the time this is related to a dirty stove or exhaust pipe. Cleaning your stove and/or exhaust pipe well will generally resolve this problem. Also keep in mind that if you leave the viewing door open for more than 30 seconds the stove will shut down and the AS Light will flash. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE AIR SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE. If the POF Light is flashing, this is an indication that either the POF thermodisc has tripped or is not functioning correctly, or you may have an auger jam, or you may have left the hopper lid open. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE POF THERMODISC IS DEFECTIVE. If the HT Light is flashing, this is an indication that your stove has become too hot. Check to make sure that the fuel type is set in ...
Page 17: Optional Thermostat
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 13 PTIONAL HERMOSTAT INSTALLATION 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.)  A millivolt thermostat is required.  Unplug the stove from the power outlet.  The two thermostat wires connect to the thermostat terminal block on the lower left side of the back of the control panel.  Insert the two wires in the terminal side and tighten the two screws to secure the wires.  Either wire can be inserted into either terminal. THERMOSTAT OPERATION After properly installing the thermostat, move the mode of operation switch on the front of the control panel into the Thermostat mode. Plug the stove back into the power outlet. You are now ready to use the thermostat with your stove. The thermostat will operate the stove in a “High/Low” mode. You will start your stove following the standard lighting directions previously discussed. You will then set your stove to the desired “high” heat level setting. Adjust the damper for the best operation; a good starting point for the damper is even with the ash lip, which is about halfway out. The “high” level can be anything above the Low setting up to the third heat level. NOTE: Y . OU SHOULD NOT USE THE FOURTH OR FIFTH HEAT LEVEL WITH A THERMOSTAT When the thermostat is calling for heat, the unit will run on the heat level that you have the stove set at. When the thermostat is no longer calling for heat, the stove will automatically cycle down to the low heat level setting. The unit will remain on the low heat level setting until the thermostat again calls for heat. At that time the unit will cycle up to the heat level setting that the stove is set to. ...
Page 18: Control Panel Reset
Chapter 2 – Operation Page 14 ONTROL ANEL ESET It may become necessary to reset the control panel to the original factory specifications and settings. This could be due to erratic operation from the control panel, power fluctuations, or other reasons. It is easy to accomplish and will often correct any frustrating issues that you may be having. In order to reset the control panel, simply change the fuel type. For instance, if you have been burning the stove on the PELLETS settings, press the FUEL TYPE button to change the fuel type to CORN. Press it again to change back to PELLETS and you have reset the control panel to the original factory settings. The same is true if you go from CORN to PELLETS and back again to CORN.

Chapter 3 – Maintenance Page 15 MAINTENANCE FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. CAUTION: NEVER CLEAN THE STOVE WHEN HOT. NOTE: I NSPECT BURN POT PERIODICALLY TO SEE THAT HOLES HAVE NOT . BECOME PLUGGED IF SO CLEAN THEM THOROUGHLY ISPOSAL 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. If ashes are to be disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. EMOVAL Make sure the fire is out and the firebox is cool. Disconnect the stir rod by removing the cotter pin and pushing the stir rod to the right to disengage from the motor shaft. Lift the stir rod up and out of the burn pot. Clean and remove any buildup that may be present on the stir rod. Remove the burn pot inner section by grasping it and pulling straight up. Empty ashes from the inner surface of the burn pot and scrape with cleaning tool; make sure holes are not plugged. Vacuum to remove ashes from the burn chamber interior and the burn pot shell. Open and close the damper to dislodge any ashes that may be present. WARNING: MAKE SURE ASHES ARE COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE USING A VACUUM. ...
Page 20: Cleaning
Chapter 3 – Maintenance Page 16 LEANING 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. For most people, once a month is sufficient. Closely observe the amount of ash removed during the first several cleanings to get a good idea of how often you need to clean. When cleaning behind these doors, be very thorough. Do not just vacuum what you can see. You need to get high up inside of these chambers and to the left and right with your vacuum. If your vacuum nozzle is not small enough to get high up inside of these chambers, you should purchase an attachment that can. The ash dump slider plates can be opened allowing the ash and debris that has accumulated in the combustion chamber to be brushed and scrapped down into the ash pan. This can be accomplished as needed, until the ash pan begins to fill. Once the ash pan starts to fill, remove the ash pan and dispose of the ashes in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. See “Ash Disposal”. If you burn a lot of wood pellets, you may 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 BI‐WEEKLY UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND CREOSOTE ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES. The cleaner these chambers are, the more efficiently the stove will burn. Use a 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 may also accumulate in the combustion blower. This needs to be brushed clean. Removing the stove’s left side panel (looking at the front of the stove) will allow you access to the convection ...

Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets criteria as stated in this owner’s manual. The airflow switch wire connections are at fault. Check the connectors that attach the gray wires to the air switch. Refer to the wiring diagram in this manual and posted on the stove. The gray wires are pulled loose at the Molex connector on the wiring Check to see if the gray wires are loose at the Molex connector. harness. Combustion blower failure. With the stove on with no fire, check to see if the combustion blower is running. There are cooling vanes visible between the motor and the fan housing, and you should see them spinning. If the fan is not turning, you will need to check to see if power is going to the combustion blower with a multimeter. The blower or control board may need to be replaced; contact your dealer or Breckwell. Control board is not sending power to combustion blower. See above. Air switch has failed (very rare). To test the air switch, you will need to disconnect the air hose from the body of the stove. With the other end still attached to the air switch, very gently suck on the loose end of the hose (you may want to remove the hose entirely off the stove and the air switch first and make sure it is clear). If you hear a click, the air switch is working. BE CAREFUL TOO MUCH VACUUM CAN DAMAGE THE AIR SWITCH. Otherwise, disconnect the gray wires at the air switch and jump them with a short piece of wire. If the stove then operates, the air switch MAY be bad.
