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 re (burnpot full but no visible ame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in rebox,
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 rebox clears, and blowers shut down. Then do as
instructed in “PRE-START-UP CHECK” and “BUILDING A FIRE.” Then attempt to restart the re. If the problems
persists, contact your dealer.
c. WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD
RESULT.
d. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specications 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 1/4”; 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,
CHARCOAL 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 you stove and void your
warranty. It also may create a re hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW,
YOU ARE OVERFIREING. Immediately press the “POWER” switch on the control.
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 re for the combustion
process. Modern houses are, often, so well insulated that is may become necessary to open a window
slightly or install an outside air vent to provide sufcient 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 re extinguisher in a convenient
location, near an exit.
l. Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefcient 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 broke.
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 for the temperature of the stove to rise to operation 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 summer months).
