SMOKE SMELL OR SOOT BUILDUP
Because it is a wood-burning device, your Breckwell may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond normal, or if you no-
tice an unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks. All joints should be properly sealed.
Also clean your stove, following instructions in “MAINTENANCE”. If problem persists, contact your dealer.
