ADDITIONAL CURING INFORMATION
It is not unusual to require more than 10 continuous hours on high for curing odors to diminish. There are variables that
can extend or shorten the curing time, such as decorative fronts, doors, facing materials, and their applications.
It is normal for surrounding surfaces to be too hot to touch. Provided that all clearances and R-value requirements
in the installation manual have been met, this is not a safety concern. Be aware that any material used around
the fireplace will heat up and has the potential to cause odor issues. Adhesives, glue, wall substrate, wall finish
material, paints, and polishes are common materials that if used incorrectly will cause odor issues. Breckwell is
not responsible for any odor issues caused by materials used. If you have any additional questions or concerns,
contact your authorized dealer or email service www.breckwell.com.
CAN I OPERATE DURING POWER OUTAGES?
This electronic ignition system uses the supplied 120VAC power when it is available for all functions of this system.
If you experience a power outage, insert 4 AA batteries into battery pack located in the ignition module box.
During the power outage, the burner will function as well as the flame height adjustment. The fan and accent
light, which are dependent on 120VAC power, will not function. Your installer should demonstrate the backup DC
power pack during power outages. Be sure to retain the DC battery pack and the connecting harness in a safe
and secure place for use during power outages.
WHAT IS THE REQUIRED ANNUAL MAINTENANCE?
NOTE: Any adjustments to burner, pilot, or logs must be done by a qualified authorized service person. The
following procedures must be performed each year by a qualified service person. Recommended steps for
yearly maintenance:
1. Remove logs and coals and clean away any foreign matter (lint, carbon, etc.) on the burner and logs. Be
sure the burner ports are "open". Clean the pilot and under side of the logs for any carbon deposits. Logs
should be visually checked for carbon buildup. If carbon deposits are visible on logs, turned off and contact
an authorized service person. Be sure logs are re-installed per instructions.
2. Clean all lint and dust build-up around the control. Inspect the condition of any wiring under the burner
for melting or damage. Clean flame sensor rod/hook using emery cloth. Vacuum all burner ports and pilot
assembly.
3. Check condition of glass door gasket, the gasket must seal tightly over firebox, Inspect gasket along top
and sides of glass. If gasket at corners of glass are bulging outward or if gasket bulb along top edge or sides
are discolored to a white color appearance through the whole thickness of the gasket bulb, then replace
the gasket. White colored gasket bulb indicates exhaust leak through the discolored area and requires
replacement of the glass gasket.
