This stove has been independently tested and approved in
accordance with the relevant portions of ULC S627 CSA
B366.2-M1983 "Standard for Space Heaters for use with Solid
Fuels", UL 1482-1988 "Standard for Room Heaters", ASTM

Solid Fuel Burning Appliances", Oregon new rules for mobile
homes (814-23-900 through 814-23-909) and installation as
a stove heater.
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
room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater
which is designed for connection to an outside combustion air
source.
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 the performance and will be evidenced by
a smoking exhausl and a sooting window. For the 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 as this will rapidly fill up the burn pot and
eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial arid industrial Installations of Breckwell
Pellet Stoves are strongly discouraged since operational
control is often not well managed In these settings.
