Burner Flame Appearance - Breckwell BH3024FP Manual

IS MY FLAME APPEARANCE CORRECT?
There are air shutters and media that can be adjusted depending on your fuel and venting configuration. These
adjustments should be made by a qualified technician to achieve the best flame appearance. Contact your
installer or authorized dealer if you feel it is not burning correctly. Improper setup and adjustment is not covered
under warranty. Follow these steps for periodic inspections:
1. Check to verify that the vent system and vent cap are open and free of blockage.
2. The glass should be cleaned periodically (see the "How Do I Clean The Glass?" section of this manual).
3. Before re-installing glass, have qualified service person check the operation of the pilot and cycle the burner
per lighting instructions. Be sure all items in lighting and installation checklists are completed.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF SOOTING OCCURS?
Issue
Thin black coating (soot) forms
on viewing glass
Sooting is caused by improper installation or air shutter operation. However, some small areas of soot deposits on
log surfaces are deemed acceptable. If you observe large soot areas (larger than 1"x1") on log surfaces or signs
of sooting on the door glass (usually a thin black film on the viewing glass or on the outside of the home around
the vent cap), turned off immediately and the local authorized dealer promptly informed. Authorized dealers will
correct "sooting" problems, but they are not responsible for damage caused by excessive sooting that has not
been immediately brought to their attention.
HOW DO I CHANGE FROM °C TO °F ON MY REMOTE?
To change between °C to °F, follow these steps:
1. Press the ON/OFF button and turn off.

Troubleshooting Soot
Have gas supplier check for correct gas inlet pressure.
Check the glass gasket for proper seal. Corners of glass
gaskets cannot be bulging out. If glass gasket along the
top edge in the middle is white in color across entire
thickness of gasket bulb, replace glass gasket.
If sooting continues, open air shutter on burner. If sooting
continues, shut off and call an authorized service person.
