Breckwell W3000 - Manual (Page 2)

Thank you for purchasing the Breckwell Wood Burning Stove. To achieve the safest,
highest efficiency, and most enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do three
things: 1) Install it properly. 2) Operate it correctly. 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this
manual is to help you do all three. PLEASE read this entire manual thoroughly before you
install and operate your new room heater and KEEP THIS MANUAL in a handy place
for future reference. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage,
bodily injury, or even death.
This stove has been independently tested and approved in accordance with the relevant
portions of UL 1482-1996 “Solid-Fuel Type Room Heaters”.
Consult with your local building code agency or fire officials, and insurance representative
before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need
for permits and follow-up inspections. The W3000FS and W3000I must be installed in
accordance with the manufacture’s installations and with local codes.
Burn your stove moderately hot during the first couple of fires to allow the paint to cure. Do
not set anything on top of the stove and clear any dust or debris off of the stove before firing.
The paint will become soft and gummy as the stove heats up and will harden as the stove
cools.
During the break-in period, open the door frequently (every 5 – 10 minutes) to keep the
gasket from sticking to the paint as it cures.
During the paint curing process, it will emit a non-toxic smoke. Opening a window near the
stove will help this to dissipate. Only High Temp Paint, available from your Breckwell dealer,
should be used for touch-ups. We recommend Stove Bright #6309 – Metallic Black.
During the first few weeks, the stove will go through a process if eliminating moisture in the
steel and firebrick. This moisture will reduce the initial heat output of the stove. Once the
paint has cured, it will be necessary to build several hot fires to remove this moisture. For the
first week or two, burn the stove with the damper wide open for an hour and use generous
amounts of fuel. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE STOVE DURING THIS PROCESS. IF THE
STOVE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED, REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING
INTOTHE STOVE.
Commercial and industrial installations of Breckwell Wood Stoves should not be used since
operational control is often not well managed in these settings.
