Breckwell P24FSA Manual De Propietario

 
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. Burning 
wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate 
the building codes for which the stove has been approved and 
will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of 
the pellet fuel into the fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any 
additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output but 
may seriously impair the stoves performance by generating 
considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s 
performance depends heavily on the quality of your pellet fuel. 
Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics: 
 
a. 

Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or 
loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be 
screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines. 

Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold 
them together, or “bind” them. 

High ash content – Poor quality pellets will often create smoke 
and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent 
maintenance. 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. 

 

 
Remove optional imitation log set if in use. Remove burnpot, making 
sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the 
firebox, and then reinstall burnpot. Clean door glass if necessary (a 
dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient). Never use abrasive 
cleaners on the glass or door. Check fuel in the hopper, and refill if 
necessary. 
 
NOTE: The P24FS Hopper can hold up to 60 lbs. of pellets, and the 
P24I Hopper can hold up to 70 lbs. 
 

 
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only 
the Breckwell approved burnpot. 
 
NOTE: 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 paint could be affected. 
 

 
a. 

Fill hopper and clean burnpot. 

 
b. 

Press “On/Off” button. Make sure light is on. 

 
c. 

Adjust damper to 1/4” open (pushed in is closed). This will vary 
depending on your installation and elevation. Once fire is 
established adjust for desired flame. 

 
d. 

Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Heat Level 
Advance” button. 

 
If fire doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes 
and start procedure again.

The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel 
on the left-hand side of the P2000. The control panel functions are 
as follows.
