Installation – Breckwell W3000 User Manual
Page 6
Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for your
W3000 wood stove. Observing required clearances to combustible materials, the
proximity to a safe chimney, and electrical supply (if optional blower in use) must all
be considered. In addition, selecting a location that takes advantage of the building’s
natural air flow is also desirable to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater.
In many cases, this is a central location within the building.
