Introduction - Breckwell The Big E Owner's Manual

2
Thank you for purchasing the Breckwell Pellet Burning Stove. You are now prepared to burn wood in the
most effi cient, convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most effi cient and most enjoyable perfor-
mance from you stove, you must do three things: 1) Install it properly, 2) Operate it correctly, and 3) Maintain
it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help you do all three.
PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet-burning room heater. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This stove has been independently tested ASTM E 1509-04 Standard Specifi cations for Room Heaters,
Pellet Fuel Burning Type 1, ULC/ORD 1482-90 Standard for Solid Fuel Room Heaters, and Oregon Admin-
istrative Rules for Mobile Homes (814-23-900 through 814-23-909) and installation as a Stove Heater.
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
The authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fi re department, fi re pre-
vention bureau, etc.) should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a per-
mit.
This appliance is designed specifi cally for use only with pelletized wood. It is designed for residential in-
stallation according to current national and local building codes as a freestanding room heater. It is also
approved as a mobile home heater which is designed for connection to an outside combustion air source.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed
system and must not be burned with any type of coal (see PROPER FUEL).
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the fi re in order to burn free of
smoke and soot. Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its performance
and will be evidenced by a smoking exhaust and a sooting window. For best operation, the ash content of
the pellet-fuel should be less than 1% and the calorifi c value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash
content fuels because this will rapidly fi ll up the burn pot and eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of Breckwell Pellet Stoves should not be used since operational
control is often not well managed in these settings.
