INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- ---------- 2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------.
SPECIFICATIONS FREESTANDING: Wi dth: 21 ½” Height: 28 ½” (with legs or pedestal) Depth: 24” W eight: 185 lbs. Pedestal: 40 lbs. Legs: 13 lbs. Flue size: 3” or 4” Hopper Capacity: Up to 45 lbs. (this can vary widely depending on pellet size, length, and diameter) EPA status: exempt Burn time: 1 lb.
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 2” ins ide diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figures 5a, 5b, and 6).
Equivalent Vent Lengt h (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.
C. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 10) 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 t he pipe from the exhaust outlet to the rear center of the stove.
E. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE NOTE: Follow L - Vent chimney 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.
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.
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 n eed a pipe length (see “ COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY ” ) equal to the chimney height plus 12 inches.
D. AS A BUILT - IN FIREPLACE Figures 18 and 19 describe a P22 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.
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, s creen or door tracks and damper assemblies.
PANEL CONTROLS (See Figure 22) The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the left - hand side of the P22. The control panel functions are as follows. a. ON/OFF SWITCH • When pushed the stove will automatically ignite. No other firestarter is necessary.
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.
RE - STARTING A WARM STOVE If the stove has been s hut off, and you want to re - start it 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.
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.
OPERATING SAFETY PRE CAUTIONS PLEASE READ THIS! a. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. b. 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.
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 REMOV AL Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight - fitting lid.
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 b lower. Periodically the blowers should be vacuumed clean as these ashes can impede performance.
CHIMNEY CLEANING a. Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slo wly, 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 a slow - burning fire.
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.
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE # 3 LIGHT FLASHES Possible Causes: Possi ble Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible) 1. The hopper is out of pellets. Refill the hopper.
STOVE FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Air damper open too far for ignition. Push the air damper in closer to the side of the stove for startup. In some situations it may be necessary to have the damper completely closed for ignition to take place.
STOVE WILL NOT FEED PELLETS, BUT FUEL FEED LIGHT COMES O N AS DESIGNED Possible Causes : Possible Remedies: 1. F use on control board blew Remove the control board. If the fuse appears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 250 Volt fuse. Plug the stove back in and try to run the unit.
• GLASS “SOOT’S” UP AT A VERY FAST RATE • FLAME IS LAZY, DARK, AND HAS BLACK TIPS • AFTER STOVE HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, THE B URNPOT OVERFILLS Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. Stove or vent pipe is dirty, which restricts airflow through the burnpot.
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH KEEPS TRIPPING Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. The convection b lower is overheating and tripping the internal temperature shutoff. C lean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If cleaning the blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
