MAINTENANCE

DOOR

There are a variety of high quality cleaners available that may be used to clean your brass door.
Use only products specifically made for use in wood stoves when cleaning the glass. Never scrape the glass with anything or use abrasive
cleaners, as pitting may occur. Never clean glass when it is hot.
If door hinges need lubricating, never use oil; use only a high temperature anti-seize compound.
CERI-BLANKET
During every chimney cleaning the ceri-blanket should be inspected. If it has become compressed or heavily stained it needs to be replaced.

GASKETS

Periodically check the door gasket to make sure it is not over compressed (causing the door to leak). Your Breckwell dealer can supply you
with the correct gasket for replacement. Never use substitute materials.
TROUBLESHOOTING

POOR DRAFT

If your stove is not drafting properly, the chimney may be the problem. Have the chimney relined to the proper size or extend the length of
the chimney (Contact your Breckwell dealer). Also refer to the section 4.1 "Natural Draft".

DIRTY GLASS

Burn smaller, hotter fires and make sure that the damper is not closed too far. Make sure the wood is well seasoned and not wet.
(See "POOR DRAFT" above)

WOOD BURNS TOO FAST

The door gasket may be leaking. Check for leaks and replace if needed. The damper rod is too far out.

STOVE EMITS ODOR

Paint is curing. (See "INTRODUCTION")

POOR HEAT OUTPUT

Make sure the wood is well seasoned and not wet. (See "FUEL") The stove needs to finish curing. (See "INTRODUCTION")

SMOKES WHEN DOOR IS OPEN

Always fully open damper before opening door. Is the brick baffle dislodged? (See "INSTALLING THE BRICK PANELS"). Check chimney
for creosote blockage. (See "CREOSOTE")
