Operation; Proper Fuel - Breckwell SP6000 Owner's Manual

P F
ROPER UEL
The SP6000 Multi‐Fuel Stove is capable of burning whole shelled corn and wood pellets. The quality of the fuel you use will have a
dramatic effect in the performance of the stove. Higher quality fuels will provide a cleaner and more efficient burn, while producing
less ash, and generally reducing the amount of creosote developed in the stove and exhaust flue. For these reasons we strongly
recommend that you use the highest quality of fuels available in your area, and that you experiment with a couple of different
brands before settling on a particular brand. Once you find a quality fuel, keep using that brand or source to achieve consistent
burns.

LWAYS CHECK YOUR FUEL SUPPLY FOR FOREIGN OBJECTS
corn or pellets that had foreign objects such as screws, bolts, nuts, etc., accidentally packaged along with the corn or wood pellet.
For that reason we strongly recommend that you check your fuel for foreign objects. The stove warranty does not cover damages
caused by foreign objects in the fuel supply.

bagged corn.

deterioration of stove components, reduced efficiency, and void all warranties.
 Store the corn in a dry place and keep the bags or containers sealed. This will help to prevent the corn from absorbing
excess moisture.

WOOD PELLETS
 Pellets should conform to the Pellet Fuels Institute standards. This, along with proper installation and damper control, will
help to ensure that you achieve the most efficient and clean burn possible.
 Pellets should be between ¼" or
feed and possibly even result in an auger jam.
 Pellets can vary in ash content. This will affect how cleanly and efficiently the stove will burn. Poor quality pellets will often
create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent maintenance. You will have to empty the burn pot
plus vacuum the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could damage the auger. Y

 Avoid pellets with excess fines. "Fines" is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or
sand. Pellets can and should be screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines.
 The hopper should be emptied and vacuumed on a regular basis to prevent a buildup of fines in the system.

NOTE: W
HENEVER YOU OPEN THE HOPPER LID THE AUGER WILL STOP FEEDING FUEL TO THE FIRE
Opening the hopper lid will disengage the hopper safety switch and prevent the auger from feeding. If you are adding fuel while the
fire is burning, be sure to limit the amount of time that the hopper lid is open to the absolute minimum in order to prevent the fire
from going out. If the fire does indeed go out, you will have to manually relight the stove.
