Breckwell SP 6000 owner manual Damper Control, Blower Speeds, Shut Down Procedures

OPERATION

The adjustment of the heat level by one level will take effect within 30 seconds. If the heat level setting is adjusted by two or more levels, either up or down, there is a built-in delay of three minutes between levels after the first change. This is to allow the fire to stabilize between each heat levels.

Whenever you change the heat level setting, it is always a good idea to observe the fire for 10 or 15 minutes, and to adjust the damper if needed.

Damper Control

The damper is located just beneath the main door. You will initially adjust your damper for the best performance of your stove depending on your operating heat level, altitude, exhaust configuration, and type and quality of fuel. After that, you should not need to adjust the damper on a regular basis. The combustion blower will change speeds depending upon your heat level setting. This substantially eliminates the need for damper adjustments during normal operation.

When changing fuel brands or type, closely observe the operation of the stove and make adjustments to the damper as needed. Also monitor the stove until you become familiar with how it operates

Be sure to use the maintenance tool provided or a pair of insulated fireplace gloves if and when you do adjust the damper.

CAUTION: THE DAMPER CAN BECOME HOT DURING NORMAL OPERATION. TO AVOID

BURNING YOURSELF, ONLY ADJUST THE DAMPER WITH THE MAINTENANCE TOOL.

Blower Speeds

The convection blower (the one that blows air into the room), and the combustion blower are both controlled by the control panel depending on which heat level setting you set the stove on. The Blowers will operate at a pre-programmed speed depending upon the heat level setting you are operating the stove at. However, you can manually adjust the convection blower speed. You can increase the convection blower speed above the pre-programmed level by pressing the Fan Speed button. For optimal heat output and longevity of the convection blower, you should allow the convection fan to be controlled by the control panel most of the time. In most cases, you will only want to increase the convection fan speed when you lower the heat level setting by more than two levels. In such a case return it to the normal speed for the heat level you are operating the stove on after about 15 minutes.

NOTE: Running the convection fan on the high setting for long periods of time will degrade the lifespan of your convection blower.

Shut Down Procedures

The shut down procedures for the SP 6000 Multi-fuel stove are simple and straight forward. Simply press the On/Off button one time and your unit will go into a pre-programmed shut down mode. Although not required, you may wish to open the damper completely. Your blowers will continue to run for as much as a half an hour or more until the stove cools to below approximately 90 degrees F. Allow the stove to complete its shut down procedure completely and do not unplug the stove until completed
