OPERATION

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ THIS!

a.If you notice a smoldering fire (burnpot full but no visible flame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in firebox, 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 firebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in PRE-START-UP CHECKand “BUILDING A FIRE”, then attempt to restart the fire. If the problem persists contact your dealer.

b.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.

c.WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty. It also may create a fire hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE OVERFIRING. Immediately press the “POWER” switch on the control panel.

d.KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS, ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.

e.Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion process. Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside air vent to provide sufficient combustion air.

f.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 fire extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.

g.Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape.

h.Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation.

i.Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.

j.Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken.

k.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 this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational 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 the summer months).
