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 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.  
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.  
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.  
Never block free airflow through the open vents of  
the stove.  
Do not place clothing or other flammable  
items on or near the stove.  
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.  
The viewing door must be closed and latched  
during operation.  
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.  
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.  
Disconnect the power cord before performing any  
maintenance or repairs on the stove.  
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.  
NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect  
all power from 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).  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and  
cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead  
to smoke spillage in your home.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
The exhaust system should be checked, at a  
minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of  
soot or creosote.  
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).

these functions.  
CLEARANCES  
The Breckwell P2700 Freestanding has  
been tested and listed for installation in  
residential, mobile home and alcove  
applications.  
FLOOR PROTECTION: Freestanding  
installations, minimum 24” wide by 29” deep.  
The stove must be placed on a continuous  
(grouted joints) noncombustible material  
such as ceramic tile, cement board, brick,  
3/8” millboard or equivalent, or other  
approved or listed material suited for floor  
protection. NOTE: ceramic tile, or any tile,  
requires a continuous sheet beneath to  
prevent the possibility of embers falling  
through to the combustible floor if cracks or  
separation should occur in the finished  
surface, this would include floor protection  
for Built-in raised hearths. Check local codes  
for approved alternatives.

INSTALLATION  
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 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  
FIGURE 4  
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.  
VENTING  
The Breckwell P2700 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 minimum  
of 3 screws.  
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE  
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.  
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”  
45º elbow  
= 5 equivalent feet  
= 3 equivalent feet  
Horizontal Pipe Run  
Vertical Pipe Run  
= 1 equivalent foot per actual foot  
= 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.  
P2700 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 possible to reduce the possibility of smoke spillage in  
the event of a loss of negative pressure.  
FIGURE 6  
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. Mobile home  
installations must use a spark arrester.
