2 | INTRODUCTION |
Thank you for purchasing the Breckwell Pellet Burning Stove, you are now prepared to burn wood in the most efficient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient and most enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly;
2) Operate it correctly; and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you do all three.
PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This stove has been independently tested to ASTM
Heaters, Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
This appliance is designed specifically for use only with pelletized wood. It is designed for residential installation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater which is designed for connection to an outside combustion air source.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system and must not be burned with any type of coal (see PROPER FUEL).
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fire in order to burn free of smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window.
For best operation the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the calorific value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill up the burn pot and eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of Breckwell Pellet Stoves should not be used since operational control is often not well managed in these settings.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS | 3 |
Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your dealer.
Never use gasoline,
Never block free airflow through the open vents of the stove.
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an outage does occur, check the stove for smoke spillage and open a window if any smoke spills into the room.
Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect all power from the stove.
During the start up period; 1) DO NOT open the viewing door;2) DO NOT open the damper more than ¾”;3) DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand;4) DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger after running out of pellets) as a dangerous condition could result.
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspection requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company of this stove as well.
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead to smoke spillage in your home.
This stove must be connected to a standard 120 V., 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the stove.
The exhaust system should be checked, at a minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of soot or creosote.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions are given in this manual. All other work should be done by a trained technician.
Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you will need at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.
Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the stove.
The viewing door must be closed and latched during operation.
Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot overfills with pellets. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Educate all children of the danger of a high temperature stove. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the stove.
If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during the summer months).
This is a pressurized exhaust system. We suggest sealing all vent connector joints with 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure consistent performance and to avoid smoke spillage. We also suggest that all horizontal connector joints be sealed with
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with a tight lid and placed on a no combustible surface well away from the home structure.
This stove is designed and approved for pelletized wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater will void the warranty and safety listing.
When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be bolted to the floor, have outside air, and NOT BE INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM
(Per H.U.D. requirements). Check with local building officials.
Breckwell Hearth Products grants no warranty, implied or stated, for the installation or maintenance of your stove, and assumes no responsibility of any consequential damage(s).

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 rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to figure 4). A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at the terminus (refer to figure 5). All connections must be secured and airtight by either using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or
For mobile home installations only: 2” inside diameter pipe may be used for the first 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 feet use 2 ¾” inside diameter pipe. No combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
a.In fireplaces
•Chimney top.
•Ash clean out door.
b.For freestanding installations
•A hole in floor near stove rear terminating only in a ventilated crawl space.
•A hole in the wall behind the stove.
WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED
If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air is easily available to the air inlet. A closeable outside air register can be used in tightly insulated homes. In insert installations, flashing vents should not be restricted. The flashing should not necessarily seal the fireplace face.

Equivalent Vent Length (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.
•Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
•It is recommended that vertical runs be a minimum of 8 feet.
•To calculate EVL, use the following conversions:
90º elbow or “T” | = 5 equivalent feet |
45º elbow | = 3 equivalent feet |
Horizontal Pipe Run | = 1 equivalent foot per actual foot |
Vertical Pipe Run | = 0.5 equivalent foot per actual foot |
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of 4” diameter vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.

SPECIAL MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
For installation in a mobile home, an outside source of combustion air must be used (see “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY”).
The P4000 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.
The P4000 must be securely fastened to the floor of the mobile home through the threaded holes in the bottom of the stoves rear legs using 2,
Refer to “VENTING” for proper exhaust configurations.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
OPERATION | 11 |
PANEL CONTROLS (See Figure 12)
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the
The control panel functions are as follows.
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 minutes.
•The green light located above the On/Off button (in the On/Off box) will flash during the ignition
•The Feed Rate Advance is inoperable during the ignition start period. When the red light continuously stays on the Feed Rate Advance can be adjusted to achieve the desired heat output.
NOTE: If the stove has been shut off, and you want to
b.FUEL FEED SWITCH
•When the “Fuel Feed” button is pushed and held down the stove will feed pellets continuously into the burnpot.
•While the stove’s auger system is feeding pellets the amber light (in the “Fuel Feed” box) will be on. (See figure 12)
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS CONTROL DURING NORMAL OPERATION BECAUSE IT COULD
SMOTHER THE FIRE AND LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
c.HIGH FAN SWITCH
•The room air fan speed varies directly with the feed rate. The “HIGH FAN” switch overrides this variable speed function. It will set the room air blower speed to high at any feed rate setting.
•When the “HIGH FAN” button is pushed the room air fan will switch to its highest setting.
•When this button is pushed again the room air fan will return to its original setting based on the Feed Rate Advance setting.
d.RESET TRIM
Different size and quality pellet fuel may require adjustment of the “1” feed setting on the Feed Rate
Advance bar graph. This is usually a
“RESET TRIM” button when adjusted will allow for 3 different feed rate settings for the #1 feed setting FIGURE 12 only. To adjust simply push the “RESET TRIM” button while the stove is operating at setting “1” and
watch the bar graph.
•When the “1” and “3” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “lowest” setting. (approx. 0.9 pounds per hour)
•When the “1” light is illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “normal” setting.
•When the “1” & “4” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “highest” setting.
NOTE: When the stove is set on “1” the “reset trim” values will be shown on the Feed Rate Advance bar graph. For example if the Reset Trim is set to its lowest setting every time the stove is set to low the “1” and “3” lights will be illuminated on the bar graph.
e.HEAT LEVEL ADVANCE
•This button when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will incrementally change on the bar graph starting from level “1” to “4”.
NOTE: When dropping more than 2 heat level settings (i.e. 4 to 1) push the ‘High Fan’ button and allow the room air fan to run at that setting for at least 5 minutes to prevent the stove from tripping the high temp thermodisk. If the high temp thermodisk does trip see “SAFETY FEATURES”.
CAUTION: THE “4” SETTING IS DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY. IF USED FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS, IT CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE UNITS COMPONENTS.
AVOID USE AT THIS SETTING FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR AT A TIME.
12 | OPERATION |
PROPER FUEL
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY!
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.
b.Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold them together, or “bind” them.
c.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 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 P4000 hopper can hold up to 40 lbs. of pellets.
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the Breckwell approved burnpot.
During the start up period:
1)DO NOT open the viewing door.
2)DO NOT open the damper more than ¾”.
3)DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand.
4)DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger after running out of pellets). A dangerous condition could result.
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.
THE HOTROD AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER
a.Fill hopper and clean burnpot.
b.Press “Power” button. Make sure light is on.
c.Adjust damper to ½” to ¾” open (pushed in is closed). This will vary depending on your installation and elevation. Once fire is established adjust for desired flame increasing the amount the damper is open as the heat setting is increased.
(See “DAMPER CONTROL”)
d.Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Feed Rate Advance” button.
If fire doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “Power”, wait a few minutes and start procedure again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control rod on the stove’s lower left side adjusts the combustion air. This control is necessary due to the varied burn characteristics of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the efficiency of your stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent the rapid buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney.
You should adjust the damper based on the fire’s appearance. A low, reddish, dirty fire can be improved by pulling the damper out slightly. A “blow torch” fire can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit.
As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper should be more open. Through trial and error, you will find the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On “1”, damper should be out approximately ½” to ¾”. If damper is out too far, it can cause the fire to go out.
Ativa At P4000 Manual User
OPENING DOOR
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If the stove shuts down push the “Power” button to continue the operation of your stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This usually takes about 10 minutes from
OPERATION | 13 |
If the stove has been shut off, and you want to
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The fire goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 to 45 minutes.
After the stove components stop running the “Power” and the BAR GRAPH lights stay on for 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes the “3” light on the bar graph will flash and the “Power” light will go off.
To restart, refill hopper, press “Power” button, and then press “Fuel Feed” button until pellets begin to fall into burnpot.
REFUELING
We recommend that you not let the hopper drop below ¼ full.
KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
BRECKWELL MAINTENANCE TOOL
A tool has been provided to help with the following functions:
FIGURE 13
a.Stirring pellets in hopper – unlike liquids in a tank, pellets do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging across the opening can occur. Pellets can hang up on the sides of the hopper. Occasionally “stirring” the hopper can help.
NOTE: To help prevent bridging of pellets, common wax paper can be rubbed on the sidewalls and bottom of the hopper.
b.Cleaning heat exchanger tubes – see instructions in “CLEANING”.
c.Scrape ashes from burnpot.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your Breckwell stove off is a matter of pressing the “Power” control panel switch. The red light will go out. The blowers will continue to operate until internal firebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
SAFETY FEATURES
a.Your stove is equipped with a high temperature thermodisc. This safety switch has two functions.
1.To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
2.In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the
NOTE: The thermodisc will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The manufacturer recommends that you call your dealer if this occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem. A service call may be required.
b.If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds during operation will cause enough pressure change to activate the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. Close the door and press “On/Off” button to continue operation of your stove.
14 | THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION |
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.
NOTE: YOUR THERMOSTAT SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER OR SERVICE PERSON.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
•A MILLIVOLT THERMOSTAT IS REQUIRED.
•Unplug stove from power outlet.
•Remove control board from stove.
•The two thermostat wires connect to the terminal block on the lower left side of the back of the control board.
(See figure 14)
•Insert the wires in the terminal side and tighten the two screws.
MODES
TO SWITCH BETWEEN ANY OF THE THREE MODES THE STOVE MUST BE SHUT OFF, THE NEW MODE SELECTED, AND THE STOVE RESTARTED.
MANUAL MODE
•In this mode the stove will operate only from the control panel as detailed in the “OPERATION” section of this owner’s manual.
HIGH/LOW THERMOSTAT MODE
•When engaged in this mode the stove will automatically switch between two settings. When warm enough, it will switch to the #1 or low setting. The room air blower will also slow to its lowest speed.
•The Heat Level Advance setting on the bar graph will stay where it was initially set. When the house cools below the thermostat setting, the stove will switch to the feed rate of the heat level advance setting.
ON/OFF THERMOSTAT MODE
•In this mode when the home is warm enough the stove will shut off. The fans will continue to run until the stove cools.
•When the home cools below the thermostat setting, the stove will automatically restart and run at the last feed rate setting.
NOTE: When in “high/low” or “on/off” thermostat mode –
•Do not operate the stove higher than the #3 setting.
•Set damper control rod approximately ½” to ¾” out. This will vary depending on elevation and weather conditions. Observe stoves operation and adjust damper as necessary.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper with any controls on the stove.Wait until firebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in
c.WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
d.WARNING: DURING THE START UP CYCLE; 1) DO NOT OPEN THE VIEWING DOOR; 2) DO NOT OPEN THE DAMPER MORE THAN ¾”; 3) DO NOT USE THE FUEL FEED BUTTON (UNLESS PRIMING THE AUGER AFTER RUNNING OUT OF PELLETS). A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
e.Pellets should be stored in a dry place. The pellets should not be stored within 12” of the stove.
f.DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR BRECKWELL STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINETYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
g.WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty. It also may create a fire hazard in your home.IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately press the “POWER” switch on the control panel.
h.KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS, ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
i.Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion process. Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside air vent to provide sufficient combustion air.
j.Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be wise to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a fire extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.
k.Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape.
l.Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation.
m.Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
n.Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken.
o.If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during the summer months).

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
ASH DISPOSAL
The P4000 has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes:
a.Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b.With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes. (See “CLEANING” and Figure 15).
c.Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove the burnpot’s inner section by grasping it and pulling straight up (see Figure 16).
d.Empty ashes from inner section into the ash bin through the opening in the bottom of the firebox. Scrape inner section with cleaning tool. Make sure holes are not plugged.
e.Scrape ash in firebox into the ash bin through the opening in the bottom of the firebox or vacuum to remove ashes (see Figure 17).
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.
f.Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure 18) by unscrewing the two knobs on the front of it and pulling it straight out. Dispose of ashes properly.
(See “ASH REMOVAL” above)
g.Replace ash bin, making sure to tighten the knobs and maintaining a good seal.
h.Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and pushed all the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the rear when it is reinstalled (see Figure 16).
i.Make the burnpot is level and pushed all the way back in when it is reinstalled. If the collar on the burnpot attached to the fresh air tube is not pushed back to meet the firebox wall, the Hot Rod will not work properly.
VACUUM USE
If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed for ashes.
(We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac,
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.

CLEANING
a.Heat Exchange Tubes – Your Breckwell stove is designed with a
b.Interior Chambers – Four ash doors and two upper baffles in the firebox in the P4000 can be removed for periodic cleaning (Figure 19). These doors allow access to the chamber surrounding the firebox.
NOTE: When removing the upper baffles do not remove the screws; just loosen them enough to allow the baffles to be removed.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from this chamber. In some cases you will 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 ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND CREOSOTE ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING PRACTICES. Use the 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 can also accumulate in the combustion blower. This needs to be brushed clean. The convection blower is accessed by removing the stove’s left side panel. The combustion blower can be accessed by removing the stove’s right side panel. The convection blower is on the left (facing stove), and the combustion blower is on the right.
NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge balancing clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades. Some stove owners lightly spray an

CHIMNEY CLEANING
a.Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, 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
b.Fly Ash – This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an exhaust run. Though noncombustible, it may impede the normal exhaust flow. It should therefore be periodically removed.
c.Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected annually or per ton to determine if a creosote or fly ash
Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
The creosote should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. A qualified chimney sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired.
To clean the chimney, detach the vent at the combustion blower transition where it is attached to the blower.

3. | The firebox is not properly sealed. | Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket is in good shape. |
If the ash door has a latch, make sure the ash door is properly | ||
latched and the gasket is sealing good. If the stove has just a small | ||
hole for the ashes to fall through under the burnpot, make sure the | ||
slider plate is in place to seal off the firebox floor. | ||
4. | Vent pipe is incorrectly installed. | Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets criteria in owner’s |
manual. | ||
5. | The airflow switch wire connections are bad. | Check the connectors that attach the gray wires to the air switch. |
6. | The gray wires are pulled loose at the Molex connector on the | Check to see if the gray wires are loose at the Molex connector. |
wiring harness. | ||
7. | Combustion blower failure. | With the stove on, check to see if the combustion blower is running. |
If it is not, you will need to check for power going to the combustion | ||
blower. It should be a full current. If there is power, the blower is | ||
bad. If there is not, see #8. | ||
8. | Control board not sending power to combustion blower. | If there is no current going to the combustion blower, check all wire |
connections. If all wires are properly connected, you have a bad | ||
control board. | ||
9. | Control board not sending power to air switch. | There should be a |
switch after the stove has been on for 30 seconds. | ||
10. | 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. |

6. | The auger shaft is jammed. | Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by |
removing the auger pin. Remove the auger shaft inspection plate in | ||
the hopper so that you can see the auger shaft. Gently lift the auger | ||
shaft straight up so that the end of the auger shaft comes up out of | ||
the bottom auger bushing. Next, remove the two nuts that hold the | ||
top auger biscuit in. Then rotate the bottom end of the auger shaft | ||
up towards you until you can lift the shaft out of the stove. After you | ||
have removed the shaft, inspect it for bent flights, burrs, or broken | ||
welds. Remove any foreign material that might have caused the | ||
jam. Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, | ||
rough spots, or grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a | ||
jam. | ||
7. | The auger motor has failed. | Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run the unit. |
If the motor will turn the shaft is jammed on something. If the motor | ||
will not turn, the motor is bad. | ||
8. | The Proof of Fire (POF) thermodisc has malfunctioned. | Temporarily bypass the POF thermodisc by disconnecting the two |
brown wires and connecting them with a short piece of wire. Then | ||
plug the stove back in. If the stove comes on and works, you need | ||
to replace the POF thermodisc. This is for testing only. DO NOT | ||
LEAVE THE THERMODISC BYPASSED. Your blowers will never | ||
shut off and if the fire went out the auger will continue to feed pellets | ||
until the hopper is empty if you leave the POF thermodisc bypassed. | ||
9. | The high limit thermodisc has tripped or is defective. | Wait for the stove to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. It should now |
function normally. If not use the owner’s manual to locate the high | ||
limit thermodisk. To test if the thermodisk is bad, you can bypass it | ||
as described previously for the POF thermodisk. | ||
10. | The fuse on the control board has blown. | 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 | ||

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. After there is a flame, the damper | ||
can then be adjusted for the desired feed setting. | ||
2. | Blockage in igniter tube or inlet for igniter tube. | Find the igniter housing on the backside of the firewall. The air |
intake hole is a small hole located on bottom side of the housing. | ||
Make sure it is clear. Also, look from the front of the stove to make | ||
sure there is not any debris around the igniter element inside of the | ||
igniter housing. | ||
3. | The burnpot is not pushed completely to the rear of the firebox. | Make sure that the air intake collar on the burnpot is touching the |
rear wall of the firebox. | ||
4. | Bad igniter element. | Put power directly to the igniter element. Watch the tip of the igniter |
from the front of the stove. After about 2 minutes the tip should | ||
glow. If it does not, the element is bad. | ||
5. | The control board is not sending power to the igniter. | Check the voltage going to the igniter during startup. It should be a |
full current. If the voltage is lower than full current, check the wiring. | ||
If the wiring checks out good, the board is bad. | ||
SMOKE SMELL COMING BACK INTO THE HOME | ||
Possible Causes: | Possible Remedies: | |
1. | There is a leak in the vent pipe system. | |
Inspect all vent pipe connections. Make sure they are sealed with | ||
RTV silicone that has a temperature rating on 500 degree F or | ||
higher. Also, seal joints with | ||
the square to round adapter piece on the combustion blower has | ||
been properly sealed with the same RTV. | ||
2. | The gasket on the combustion blower has gone bad. | |
Inspect both gaskets on the combustion blower to make sure they | ||
are in good shape. | ||

and fan blades. If oiling the blower does not help, the blower may | ||
be bad. | ||
2. | Circuit board malfunction. | Test the current going to the convection blower. If there is power |
being sent to the blower when it is shut off, then the control board is | ||
fine. If there is NOT power being sent to the blower when it shuts off | ||
during operation, then you have a bad control board. |

as described previously for the POF thermodisk. | ||
3. | Bad auger motor | Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run the unit. |
If the motor will turn, the shaft is jammed on something. If the motor | ||
will not turn, the motor is bad. | ||
4. | Auger jam | Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by |
removing the auger pin. Remove the auger shaft inspection plate in | ||
the hopper so that you can see the auger shaft. Gently lift the auger | ||
shaft straight up so that the end of the auger shaft comes up out of | ||
the bottom auger bushing. Next, remove the two nuts that hold the | ||
top auger biscuit in. Then rotate the bottom end of the auger shaft | ||
up towards you until you can lift the shaft out of the stove. After you | ||
have removed the shaft, inspect it for bent flights, burrs, or broken | ||
welds. Remove any foreign material that might have caused the | ||
jam. Also, check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, | ||
rough spots, or grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a | ||
jam. | ||
5. | Loose wire or connector | Check all wires and connectors that connector to the auger motor, |
high limit switch, and the Molex connector. | ||
6. | Bad control board | If the fuse is good, the wires and connectors check out good, and |
the high limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger | ||
motor. If there is not a full current going to the auger motor when | ||
the fuel feed light is on, you have a bad control board. |
