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 fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This stove has been independently tested to ASTM E1509-12 Standard Specification for Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning
Type 1, ULC-S627 Standard for Solid Fuel Room Heaters, ULC-S628 and Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes
(814-23-900 through 814-23-909) and Installation as a Stove Heater.
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.
The authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fire department, fire prevention bureau,
etc.) should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.
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 smok-
ing 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.

Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke com-
ing from it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your
dealer.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all
such liquids well away from the stove while in use.
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 ¼”; 3) DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by
hand; 4) DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (un-
less 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 malfunc-
tion. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect it, and
call your dealer.
Contact your local building officials to obtain a per-
mit 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 mini-
mum, 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. Edu-
cate 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 condi-
tioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine
on the unit, it is possible this can cause the tempera-
ture 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).
The exhaust system must be completely airtight
and properly installed. The pellet vent joints must
be sealed with RTV 500°F (260°C) silicone sealant,
and with UL-181-AP foil tape.
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any main-
tenance 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 struc-
ture.
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. require-
ments). Check with local building officials.
Breckwell Hearth Products grants no warranty,

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 con-
nections must be secured and airtight by either using the appropriately sized hose
clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil tape.
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.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The
amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geog-
raphy, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the
room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appli-
ance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbors or
in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
VENTING
The Breckwell SP2700 is certified for use with listed TYPE L-Vent, 3” or 4” diameter
in size. The stove was tested with Simpson Duravent brand. Class “A” chimney is
not required. Refer to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer, especially
when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must be sealed with
500°F (260°C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure consistent performance and avoid
smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must be sealed with UL-181-AP foil
tape. We recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be secured with a mini-
mum of 3 screws.
It is strongly recommended that you have a minimum of 6’ of vertical pipe in your
exhaust system. For best performance of the stove limit the number of elbows and
horizontal pipe as much as possible
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER AP-
PLIANCE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF
THIS UNIT.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.

EQUIVALENT VENT LENGTH (EVL)
The longer the run of pipe in your installation, 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’ of EVL.
• Recommended vertical runs to be a minimum of 8’.
• 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.
SP2700 INSTALLATION
A. HORIZONTALLY THROUGH WALL (refer to Figure 6)
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position stove, adhering to clearances shown in Figures 1 & 2.
2. Locate position of hole in wall; directly behind stove exhaust vent (refer to figure 4).
3. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials.
4. Install L-Vent wall thimble per L-Vent manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Attach enough piping to penetrate and extend at least 6” beyond exterior walls. An 8-foot vertical pipe run is suggested where pos-
sible to reduce the possibility of smoke spillage in the event of a loss of negative pressure.
6. Attach cap and seal outside wall thimbles with non-hardening waterproof mastic.
7. Termination should not be located so that hot exhaust gases can ignite trees, shrubs, or grasses or be a hazard to children. Exhaust
gases can reach temperatures of 500ºF and cause serious burns if touched.
Locate terminations: a) not less then 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet; b) not less than 4 feet below or horizontally
from, or one foot above, any door, window or gravity air inlet into any building; c) not less than two feet from an adjacent building and not
less than 7 feet above grade when located adjacent to a public walkway.

B. VERTICALLY WITH NEW CHIMNEY SYSTEM
(Refer to Figure 7)
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 the pipe from the exhaust outlet to
the rear center of the stove.
OPTION: Install L-Vent elbow in place of clean-out tee. Locate stove.
Drop plumb bob to center of tee outlet, mark point on ceiling. Install
ceiling support and L-Vent pipe per L-Vent manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Always maintain 3” clearance from combustible materials. When
passing through additional floors or ceilings, always install firestop
spacer.
2. After lining up for hole in roof, cut either around or square hole in
roof, always 3” larger all the way around pipe. Install upper edge
and sides of flashing under roofing materials, nail to the roof along
upper edge. Do not nail lower edge. Seal nail heads with non-
hardening waterproof mastic.
3. Apply non-hardening, waterproof mastic where the storm collar will
meet the vent and flashing. Slide storm collar down until it sits on
the flashing. Seal and install cap.
C. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Adapters are available to adapt from 3” L-Vent to 6” or 8” Class-A chim-
ney. (Figure 8a)
As an alternative, 3” or 4” L-Vent can be run inside existing chimney to
termination. (Figure 8b)
This is the preferred method.
Follow guidelines for equivalent vent length.
D. VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIRELACE
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. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a pipe
length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches.
3. Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, and if used the out-
side air pipe, as shown in Figure 9.
4. Attach the L-vent adapter, a section of pipe and clean out tee,
making sure the clean out tee is centered in the chimney flue area.
Use RTV, metallic tape, and a minimum of three self-taping screws
at all joint connections to ensure a tight seal.
5. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.
6. Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney
pipe, and if used the outside air pipe. Install and seal with non-
hardening mastic to prevent water leakage. Install vent cap.

E. INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE OF MASONRY CHIMNEY
NOTE: Follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2. Mark
the center of the hole where the pipe is to pierce the masonry chim-
ney.
2. It will be necessary to break out the masonry around the location of
the pipe center mark. Use a 4-inch diameter hole for 3-inch pipe and
5-inch diameter hole for 4-inch pipe.
3. Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney pipe,
and if used the outside air pipe.
4. Install the tee on the bottom of the vertical pipe system and lower it
down the chimney until the center branch of the tee is level with the
center of the hole in the masonry, as shown in Figure 10.
5. Install and seal the top plate from step 3 with non-hardening mastic.
Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and while holding the pipe at the
proper elevation, affix the collar with a minimum of three ¼” stainless
steel sheet metal screws. Seal all joints and seams around the collar.
6. Connect the horizontal pipe by pushing it through the hole in the ma-
sonry and lining it up with the branch in the tee. Push the pipe into the
tee while twisting it to lock it into the tee.
7. If desired, once the horizontal pipe is in place, the space between the
pipe and masonry may be filled with high-temperature grout.
8. Install the trim collar. An adjustable pipe length and adapter may be
needed to finish the connection to the stove.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This stove is provided with a 6-foot grounded electrical cord extending
from the rear of the stove.
We recommend connecting to a good quality surge protector that
is plugged into a standard three-prong, 120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet.
Do NOT connect the unit to a GFCI socket.
Voltage variations can lead to serious performance problems. The Breck-
well electrical system is designed for 120V AC with no more than 5%
variation. Breckwell cannot accept responsibility for poor performance or
damage due to inadequate voltage. If connected to an older, two-prong
outlet, a separate ground wire should be run to a proper ground (refer this
to a qualified technician). Always route the electrical cord so that it will not
come in contact with any hot part of the stove.
SPECIAL MOBIL HOME REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
NOTE: Installation should be in accordance with the Manufactured
Home and Safety Standard (HUD), CFR 3280, Part 24
For installation in a mobile home, an outside source of combustion air
must be used (See “COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY”).
The SP2700 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 pro-
tective coating to ensure grounding.
The SP2700 must be securely fastened to the floor of the mobile home.
Refer to “VENTING” for proper exhaust configurations.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME
FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.

PANEL CONTROLS (See Figure 11)
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the left-hand side of
the SP2700. 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 start-up period. (See figure 11)
• The Heat Level Advance is inoperable during the ignition start period. When the
green light continuously stays on the Heat Level Advance can be adjusted to
achieve the desired heat output.
NOTE: If the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-start it while it is still warm, the
“on/off” button must be held down for 2 seconds.
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 green light (in the “Fuel Feed”
box) will be on. (See figure 11)
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 Heat Level Advance setting.
d. RESET TRIM
Different size and quality pellet fuel may require adjustment of the “1” feed setting on
the Heat Level Advance bar graph. This is usually a one-time adjustment based on the
fuel you are using. The “RESET TRIM” button when adjusted will allow for 3 different
feed rate settings for the #1 feed setting 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” & “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 Heat Level 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 incre-
mentally change on the bar graph starting from level “1” to “5”.
NOTE: When dropping 3 or more heat level settings (4 to 1, or 5 to 2 or 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 “5” 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 OR TWO
HOURS AT A TIME.

PROPER FUEL
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. This appliance can also burn pellets rated as standard after May 16,
2015
DO NOT BURN:
Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights, which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pel-
lets 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.
b. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold the 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 main-
tenance. 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.
PRE-START-UP CHECK
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.
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 ¼”.
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 “On/Off” button. Make sure light is on.
c. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than ¼” during start-up. 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 “Heat Level Advance” button.
If fire doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “On/Off”, wait a few minutes, clear the burnpot, 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 char-
acteristics 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 either completely closed or out approximately ⅛” to ¼”. If damper is out too far, it can cause the fire
to go out.
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or as-
phalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated
materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The
prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit
the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,

FIGURE 12
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 “On/Off” button to re-start 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 start-up.
RE-STARTING A WARM STOVE
If the stove has been shut 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. 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.
After the 10 minutes the “3” light on the bar graph will flash and the “On/Off” light will go off.
To restart, refill hopper and press “Fuel Feed” button until pellets begin to fall into burnpot. Press “On/Off” button.
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:
a. Stirring pellets in hopper – unlike liquids in a tank, pellets do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging across the opening can oc-
cur. 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. Scrape ashes from burnpot.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your Breckwell stove off is a matter of pressing the “On/Off” control panel switch. The red light will go out. The blowers will con-
tinue 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 high-temperature thermodisc will automatically shut down the auger, pre
venting the stove from overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker, the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting your stove. On other
units the thermodisk has no reset button and 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.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this
setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.

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 “PRE-START-UP CHECK” and “BUILDING A FIRE”,
then attempt to restart the fire. If the problem persists contact your dealer.
c. WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RE-
SULT.
d. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the heater.
e. WARNING: DURING THE START UP CYCLE; 1) DO NOT OPEN THE VIEWING DOOR; 2) DO NOT OPEN THE DAMPER
MORE THAN ¼”; 3) DO NOT USE THE FUEL FEED BUTTON (UNLESS PRIMING THE AUGER AFTER RUNNING OUT OF
PELLETS). A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
f. Pellets should be stored in a dry place. The pellets should not be stored within 12” of the stove.
g. DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR BRECKWELL
STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHAR-
COAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
h. 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. Imme-
diately press the “POWER” switch on the control panel.
i. KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS, ETC. AT
LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
j. 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.
k. 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.
l. 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.
m. Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation.
n. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
o. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or
broken.
p. 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).

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.
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
• USE THIS MODE EXCLUSIVELY IF YOU DO NOT CON-
NECT AN OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT
• 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
• USE THIS MODE ONLY IF YOU CONNECT A THERMO-
STAT
• 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
• USE THIS MODE ONLY IF YOU CONNECT A THERMO-
STAT
• 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 ¼” to ½” out. This will
vary depending on elevation and weather conditions. Observe
stoves operation and adjust damper as necessary.

FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RE-
SULT 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. 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 disposed of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
The SP2700 has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes:
a. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 14).
c. Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot by grasping
it and pulling straight out.
d. Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool. Make
sure burnpot holes are not plugged.
e. Scrape ash in firebox into the under-stove bin through the opening (see
Figure 15) or vacuum to remove ashes. 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 16) by unscrewing
the two knobs on the front of the pedestal below the lower cowl. 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 burn pot. Make sure it 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.
i.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emis-
sions. CO is a poisonous gas when exposed to elevated concentrations for
extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in heaters
drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the
gases in closed or confined areas can be dangerous. Make sure your stove
gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing properly
to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke
and CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
VACUUM USE
If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest 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

CLEANING
a. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your Breckwell stove is
designed with a built-in heat exchange tube cleaner.
This should be used every two or three days to re-
move accumulated ash on the tubes, which reduces
the efficiency of your unit. Insert the handle end (with
hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod (refer
to figure 14). The cleaner rod is located in the grill
above the stove door. Move the cleaner rod back
and forth several times to clean the heat exchanger
tubes. When finished be sure to leave tube cleaner
at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Three ash doors in the firebox
in the SP2700 can be removed for periodic cleaning
(refer to figure 17). These doors allow access to the
chamber surrounding the firebox.
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 AC-
CUMULATE 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 perfor-
mance. Creosote can also accumulate in the combustion
blower. This needs to be brushed clean. The convection
blower is accessed by opening the stove’s left side panel.
The combustion blower can be accessed by opening the
right side panel. The convection blower is on the left (fac-
ing stove), and the combustion blower is on the right.
NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge balanc-
ing clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades.
Some stove owners lightly spray an anti-creosote chemi-
cal on the fire to help reduce creosote formation within
the stove.

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 slow-
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire,
which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. Despite their high efficiency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote
under certain conditions.
b. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal - The products of combustion will contain small particles of fly ash. The fly
ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs dur-
ing startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust
venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year or ton of pellets burned to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
c. Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected annually or per ton to determine if a
creosote or fly ash build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. 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 per-
form 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.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Use this as a guide under average-use conditions.
Gasket around door and door glass should be inspected and repaired or replaced when necessary (see “REPLACEMENT PARTS”).
This unit’s door uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket.
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS
While wearing leather gloves (or any other gloves suitable for handling broken glass), carefully remove any loose pieces of glass from
the doorframe. Dispose of all broken glass properly. Return the damaged door to your Breckwell Dealer for repair or replacement.
Neither the appliance owner nor any other unauthorized person(s) should replace the door glass. An authorized Breckwell dealer must
perform all repairs involving door glass.

When your stove acts out of the ordinary, the first reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time and money by en-
abling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems encountered are often the result of only five factors: 1) poor fuel;
2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve those
problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer to diagrams on page 21 to help
locate indicated parts.
For the sake of troubleshooting and using this guide to assist you, you should look at your heat level setting to see which
light is flashing.
** CAUTION – UNPLUG THE STOVE FROM ALL POWER PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THE UNIT! **
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE #2 LIGHT FLASHES
Possible Causes: Possible Remedies:
1. Airflow switch hose or stove attachment pipes
for hose are blocked.
Unhook air hose from the air switch and blow through it. If
air flows freely, the hose and tubes are fine. If air will not flow
through the hose, use a wire coat hanger to clear the block-
age.
2. The air inlet, burnpot, interior combustion air
chambers, combustion blower, or exhaust
pipe are blocked with ash or foreign material.
Follow all clearing procedures in the maintenance section of
the owner’s manual.
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 wiring harness.
Check to see if the gray wires are loose at the
Molex connector.
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 combus-
tion 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 5-volt current (approximately) going to the
air switch after the stove has been on for 30 seconds.
10. Air switch has failed (very rare). To test 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.

STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE #3 LIGHT FLASHES
Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)
1. The hopper is out of pellets. Refill the hopper
2. The air damper is too far open for a low feed
setting.
If burning on the low setting, you may need to close the damper
all the way (push the knob in so it touches the side of the stove).
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. The burnpot holes are blocked. Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
5. The air inlet, the interior chambers, or exhaust
system has a partial blockage.
Follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section of
the owner’s manual.
6. The hopper safety switch has failed or hopper
is open.
When operating the unit, be sure the hopper lid is closed so that
the hopper safety switch will activate. Check the wires leading
from the hopper safety switch to the control panel and auger
motor for secure connections. Use a continuity tester to test the
hopper safety switch, replace if necessary.
7. The auger is jammed. Start emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by
removing the auger pin. Remove 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 thermodisc. To test if the thermodisc is bad, you can
bypass it as described previously for the POF thermodisc.
11. The fuse on the control board has blown. Remove the control board. On the back, there is one fuse. If it
appears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 125 Volt fuse. Plug
the stove back in and try to run the unit.
12. The control board is not sending power to the
POF thermodisc or other auger system
components.
There should be a 5-volt (approximately) current going to the
POF thermodisc after the stove has been on for 10 minutes.
