INSTALLATION Several issues must be addressed when selecting a suitable location for your W3000 wood stove. Observing required clearances to combustible materials, the proximity to a safe chimney, and electrical supply (if optional blower in use) must all be considered. In addition, selecting a location that takes advantage of the building’s natural air flow is also desirable to maximize the heating effectiveness of the heater. In many cases, this is a central location within the building.
INSTALLATION 7 INSERT INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR MASONRY CHIMNEY NOTE: Although not required, a full length stainless steel liner (UL1770) is recommended for optimum safety and performance. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
INSTALLATION PEDESTAL ASSEMBLY – W3000FS W3000I Note: The W3000FS wood stove is heavy. Be prepared to handle the weight to avoid damage or injury. Wearing gloves during installation is recommended. 1. Carefully unpack the blower assembly. Determine which side of the stove the power supply will be located. The blower comes standard with the power cord installed on the right side of the blower housing.
INSTALLATION SPECIAL MOBILE / MANUFACTURED HOME REQUIREMENTS WARNING: Do not install in a sleeping room. For installation in a mobile/manufactured home, the outside air kit must be used. (See “OUTSIDE AIR KIT – W3000FS ONLY”) The W3000FS must be securely fastened to the floor of the mobile (manufactured) home using the mounting bolt holes located in the pedestal of the W3000FS. Use only the holes provided.
OPERATION NATURAL DRAFT The chimney serves a dual purpose of drawing combustion air into the stove and exhausting combustion by-products. Draft is the force which moves exhaust gases up the chimney (hot air rises). As the exhaust rises up the chimney, combustion air is drawn into the stove to replace it. Your stove relies on natural draft for its only source of combustion air. Poor draft can cause poor combustion and smoke. Too much draft can cause excessive burn rates and high temperature in the stove.
OPERATION MAXIMIZING YOUR STOVES EFFICIENCY Heat transfer can be enhanced by slowing the rate of incoming combustion air, allowing more time for heat to be transferred in to your home. Slowing the rate of incoming air also slows the rate of exhaust going up the chimney and carrying heat away with it. To achieve this, always thoroughly preheat your stove before closing the damper. The following are some tips for getting the most out of your stove: 1.
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.
REPLACEMENT PARTS Contact an Authorized Breckwell Pellet Stove Dealer to obtain any of these parts. Never use substitute materials. Use of non-approved parts can result in poor performance and safety hazards.
