DIMENSION SHOWN WITH LISTED DURAVENT ELBOW
NOTE: Approved vent system elbows vary in vertical length. Consult the vent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the elbow dimension used for your installation. Adjust as necessary to maintain the required 1” (25mm) clearance from the vent pipe to the combustible material.

•  Dimensions of venting are based on using Dura Vent elbows. Elbow curve radius dimensions may vary when using other brands. In general, other brands have slightly bigger radii.
•  Minimum 24 inches vertical pipe section required at the unit. Refer to the “Venting Chart” section of this manual for allowable horizontal runs.
•  2 inches clearance to combustibles is required above the horizontal pipe. Slope horizontal pipe upwards of 1/4 inch per foot. 1-inch clearance is required around the sides and bottom of the horizontal pipe and around the vertical pipe.
•  When calculating effective pipe lengths subtract approximately 1-1/2 inch for pipe joint – for example, a 12 inches pipe section will add approximately 10 -1/2 inches overall.

TOP OUTLET ONLY
This unit is supplied with a top vent outlet and should NOT be field-converted to a rear vent outlet (see vent chart in this manual).

VENT SEALING
Seal all outer coaxial pipe and elbow joints, including sectioned elbow joints, using high quality, high temperature 2 inch wide self-adhesive aluminum foil tape (Nashua-322-2 brand or similar). Wrap the tape completely around all joints and press firmly to seal. A high-temperature black silicone sealant may be used in the outer joints as a substitute to foil tape. Ensure all the pipe joints have a minimum of -1/4” overlap.

WALL THICKNESS
The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a combustible wall assembly up to 8 inches in thickness. A non-combustible wall can be of any thickness up to the maximum horizontal run of vent pipe allowed for the particular installation.

FRAMING VENT IN COMBUSTIBLE WALLS & CEILINGS
When penetrating through combustible walls and ceilings, frame a minimum of 10 in x 10 in opening and ensure that the insulation is kept clear of the vent pipe using either a wall thimble or an attic insulation shield. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the individual venting components.

WEATHER SEALING & VAPOR BARRIERS
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to:

•  Prevent rainwater from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
•  Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
•  Prevent rainwater and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and outer wall plates. We recommend the use of a high-quality polyurethane sealant.

All horizontal pipe runs must be graded 1/4” per foot upwards in the direction of the exhaust flow. The final pipe length, when terminating through the wall may be graded downwards slightly to prevent water migration.

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

NOTE
You will hear a beep once every time a remote-control button is pressed, signaling that the command has been received. Locate the four function buttons on the remote control:

1.  On/Off Button: This button turns the appliance on or off. When this button is depressed, and the system is off, the pilot will ignite. After pilot ignition, the pilot will light the main burners. Refer to IPI and CPI Modes in this manual for pilot ignition.

2.  Thermostat Button: This button will allow the selection of three modes: Manual, Normal Thermostat, and Smart Thermostat. NOTE: The fireplace will automatically shut off after 12 hours of continuous use.

   •  Manual (Off): In this mode, the appliance can be turned on, regardless of the room temperature. The actual room temperature has no effect in this mode. All other functions such as fan speed control, flame height control, and accent light intensity controls are manually controllable.

   •  Normal Thermostat (On): Will turn itself on and off, depending on the temperature you set. When you set the thermostat, it will continue heating until the room temperature increases 1°F above the set thermostat temperature. To increase the thermostat temperature, press the up button until the desired temperature is displayed in the thermostat temperature window. The fan will turn on 5 minutes after startup and will turn off 12 -1/2 minutes after the
     flames turn off. The flame height can be adjusted while in use, fan speed can be adjusted after 5 minutes of startup. The accent light can be adjusted any time after startup.

   •  Smart Thermostat (Smart): In this mode, room temperature is maintained, and flame height adjust automatically to provide continual, efficient heat. All other functions of the normal thermostat mode, except the flame height adjustment, are allowed. Manual flame height adjustment is not allowed in this mode. The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in accordance to the difference between the set point temperature and the actual room temperature. As the room temperature gets closer to the set point temperature, the Smart Thermostat automatically modulates the flame down.

3.  Up/Down Button: This button is used to increase or decrease the thermostat temperature, flame height, fan speed, and accent light intensity.

4. Mode Selection Button: This button is used to toggle between the various function icons: flame height, fan speed, accent light, and rear burner (certain models).

5.  Press the on/off button. The remote-control display will show all active icons on the screen.

6.  Select the thermostat mode by pressing the thermostat button: OFF (meaning Manual), ON (meaning Normal Thermostat) or Smart (meaning Smart Thermostat).

   •  If the thermostat icon displays as “OFF” (Manual), it will ignite and start on Hi.
   •  If the thermostat icon displays as “ON” (Normal Thermostat), it will only ignite if the thermostat temperature is greater than the room temperature.
   •  If the thermostat icon displays as “SMART” (Smart Thermostat), it will only ignite if the thermostat temperature is greater than the room temperature.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR REMOTE-CONTROL ICONS

If the flame height is at Level 1 and the down button is pressed, all burners will turn off. If in IPI mode, the pilot will also extinguish. If in CPI mode, the pilot will remain on. If in Smart Thermostat, the flame height function is not available for manual adjustment. In Smart Thermostat, the flame height regulates automatically.

Fan Speed Control: The fan speed can be adjusted through 6 speeds and off. To activate this function, press the Mode button until it displays the fan icon. Use the up/down arrow button to turn on, off, or adjust the fan speed. Once you set the desired fan control, the system will remember your selected fan speed until you manually change it.

Accent Light: This function controls the accent light functions. Pressing the up button in this mode will turn on the accent light and allow you to control the 6 levels of intensity. Once you set the desired light level, the system will remember your selection until you manually change it.

IPI AND CPI MODES
Intermittent Pilot and Continuous (Standing) Pilot Features – First lights a pilot then uses the pilot to ignite the main burners. The pilot can be set in the CPI (Continuous Pilot Ignition) mode to allow the pilot to remain on indefinitely by setting the remote control to CPI mode. If the remote control is set to the IPI (Intermittent Pilot Ignition) mode, the pilot will only light and remain ON while the main burners are operating. IPI Mode: This mode turns the pilot off when not in use and only lights the pilot automatically when a call for heat is made by the remote control. CPI Mode: If set to CPI mode, the pilot will ignite and remain on at all times.

SETTING TO IPI OR CPI MODE
With the remote control off, press the MODE button. You will see either “CPI” or “IPI” displayed on the screen. Press the UP arrow button to set “CPI” mode and press the down arrow button to set “IPI” mode. Once set to the desired setting, press On/Off button to activate. Recommended: Keep in CPI mode. While not mandatory, this will keep the chimney heated for proper updraft during burner ignition, and it will also eliminate excessive condensation of exhaust vapors on the door glass. NOTE: The snowflake icon will be visible on the display always when in CPI mode.

Leaving it in CPI mode will keep the body warm and eliminate cold drafts and heat loss to the cold air that is trapped inside the firebox.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHERE CAN I FIND THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS?
This image is only an example. The label on the actual unit will vary slightly. When requesting service, you will be asked to provide the model number, serial number, and manufacture date to your authorized dealer. This information will expedite the warranty verification process. This is an example of your listing label:

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST LIT?
There is a curing period. This can include a small amount of smoke and odor. This is normal. Curing steps include: Step 1: Expelling Initial Smoke and Odors

•  Complete the installation of any surround, front, doors, or safety screen.
• Turn on in the Manual (Off) thermostat mode.
•  Set the flame height to Hi.
• Set the fan speed control to Level 2.
•  Run with these settings for a minimum of 3 hours. Then turn off and let it cool.

CAUTION
It is important that the blowers are on during this step to prevent the curing smoke from staining the surrounding wall finish. Complete Step 1 prior to installation of wall finish materials. Visible smoke and odor is expected during this step. If desired, disable smoke alarms before this step. Smoke from the initial cure may set off smoke alarms. Open doors and windows to circulate fresh air.

Step 2: High Heat Curing Cycle

•  Turn on in the Manual (Off) thermostat mode.
•  Set the flame height to Hi.
•  Set the fan speed control to Off.
•  Run it with these settings for 8 continuous hours or until the curing odors have diminished.
•  When odors have diminished, leave on and continue below.
•  Set the fan speed control to Level 1.
•  If any new curing odors are detected, continue to run this setting until the curing odors have diminished.

CAUTION
Slight odors may still be noticeable on future startups. These will diminish over time with further use.

ADDITIONAL CURING INFORMATION
It is not unusual to require more than 10 continuous hours on high for curing odors to diminish. There are variables that can extend or shorten the curing time, such as decorative fronts, doors, facing materials, and their applications. It is normal for surrounding surfaces to be too hot to touch. Provided that all clearances and R-value requirements in the installation manual have been met, this is not a safety concern. Be aware that any material used around the appliance will heat up and has the potential to cause odor issues. Adhesives, glue, wall substrate, wall finish material, paints, and polishes are common materials that if used incorrectly will cause odor issues. Breckwell is not responsible for any odor issues caused by the materials used. If you have any additional questions or concerns, contact your authorized dealer or email service at www.breckwell.com.

CAN I OPERATE DURING POWER OUTAGES?
This electronic ignition system uses the supplied 120VAC power when it is available for all functions of this system. If you experience a power outage, insert 4 AA batteries into battery pack located in the ignition module box. During the power outage, the burner will function as well as the flame height adjustment. The fan and accent light, which are dependent on 120VAC power, will not function. Your installer should demonstrate the backup DC power pack during power outages. Be sure to retain the DC battery pack and the connecting harness in a safe and secure place for use during power outages.

WHAT IS THE REQUIRED ANNUAL MAINTENANCE?
NOTE: Any adjustments to the burner, pilot, or logs must be done by a qualified authorized service person. The following procedures must be performed each year by a qualified service person. Recommended steps for yearly maintenance:

1.  Remove logs and coals and clean away any foreign matter (lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner and logs. Be sure the burner ports are “open”. Clean the pilot and underside of the logs for any carbon deposits. Logs should be visually checked for carbon buildup. If carbon deposits are visible on logs, turned off and contact an authorized service person. Be sure logs are re-installed per instructions.
2.  Clean all lint and dust build-up around the control. Inspect the condition of any wiring under the burner for melting or damage. Clean flame sensor rod/hook using emery cloth. Vacuum all burner ports and pilot assembly.
3.  Check the condition of glass door gasket, the gasket must seal tightly over the firebox, Inspect the gasket along top and sides of glass. If the gasket at the corners of the glass are bulging outward or if the gasket bulb along top edge or sides are discolored to a white color appearance throughout the whole thickness of the gasket bulb, then replace the gasket. White-colored gasket bulb indicates an exhaust leak through the discolored area and requires the replacement of the glass gasket.

CAUTION
Do not use oven cleaner or ammonia-based products to clean glass. Clean the glass only when it has cooled to room temperature.

HOW DO I CLEAN THE GLASS?

CAUTION
Additives that are put in gas (both natural and LP) to make it smell can be harmful to glass and can leave a white film deposit on the glass. This deposit can be removed with cleaners such as KEL KEM “Polish Plus” or comparable products. Contact your authorized dealer for more information.The glass should be cleaned periodically.
To clean glass surfaces, use Kel Kem Polish or a comparable product. Do not use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners to clean glass. Do not clean when glass is hot.

IS MY FLAME APPEARANCE CORRECT?
There are air shutters and media that can be adjusted depending on your fuel and venting configuration. These adjustments should be made by a qualified technician to achieve the best flame appearance. Contact your installer or authorized dealer if you feel it is not burning correctly. Improper setup and adjustment is not covered under warranty.
Follow these steps for periodic inspections:

1.  Check to verify that the vent system and vent cap are open and free of blockage.
2.  The glass should be cleaned periodically (see the “How Do I Clean The Glass?” section of this manual).
3. Before re-installing glass, have qualified service person check the operation of the pilot and cycle the burner per lighting instructions. Be sure all items in lighting and installation checklists are completed.
4.  A periodic visual check of pilot flames is required. Pilot flame must overlap flame sensor and burner ignition ports always. Especially for LP gas applications, always verify the visible pilot flame length is at least 1” long.
5.  A periodic visual check of the burner flame is required.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF SHOOTING OCCURS?

Sooting is caused by improper installation or air shutter operation. However, some small areas of soot deposits on log surfaces are deemed acceptable. If you observe large soot areas (larger than 1”x1”) on log surfaces or signs of sooting on the door glass (usually a thin black film on the viewing glass or on the outside of the home around the vent cap), turned off immediately and the local authorized dealer promptly informed. Authorized dealers will correct “sooting” problems, but they are not responsible for damage caused by excessive sooting that has not been immediately brought to their attention.

HOW DO I CHANGE FROM °C TO °F ON MY REMOTE?
