INTRODUCTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- 2 SAFET Y PRECAUTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------.
FREESTANDING Width: 29 1/8” Height: 3 0 1/8” Depth: 22 5/8” Weight: 300 lbs. Flue size: 3” or 4” Hopper Capacity: Up to 70 lbs. (This can vary widely depending on pellet size, length, and diameter) EPA status: exempt Burn rate: 1 lb. to 5.5 lbs.
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside source of combustion air. A 2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either flexible or ri gid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figures 5 & 6).
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. Ther efore, larger diameter pipe should be used. • Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of Equivalent Vent Length.
A. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM (Refer to Figure 9) NOTE: Follow L - Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions. OPTION: To achie ve 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.
C. 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 Figure 15) 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 need a pipe length (see “ COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY ” ) equal to the chimney height plus 12 inches.
D. AS A BUILT - IN FIREPLACE Figures 16 and 17 describe a P2000 installation vented into either a special chase built outside an outer wall or a fa lse inside wall.
E. INSTALLATION IN TO A FACTORY BUILT (METAL) FIREPLACE (refer to figure 18) When installing into a factory built fireplace, the firebox must accept the insert without modification other than removing bolted or screwed togethe r pieces such as smoke shelf/deflectors, ash lips, screen or door tracks and damper assemblies.
PROPER FUEL THIS S TOVE 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.
a. 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.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run unti l the stove cools. This will take 30 to 45 minutes. After the stove components stop running the “On/Off” and the BAR GRAPH lights stay on for 10 minutes.
OPERATING THE STOVE USING A THER MOSTAT 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 ther mostat mode.
OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ THIS! a. If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible f lame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in firebox, immediately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the stove.
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.
VACUUM USE If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we sug gest using a vacuum designed for ashes. (We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1 - 800 - 568 - 3949 Ext. #27) Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available to eliminate this leakage.
CHIMNEY CLEANING a. Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it pro duces 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.

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH KEEPS TRIPPING Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: 1. The convection blower is overheating and tripping the internal temperature shutoff. Try lubricating the co nvection blower. Put 1 - 2 drops of SAE 20 oil in each of the two oiling ports.
