usually a one-time adjustment based on the fuel you are using. The

“Reset Trim” button when adjusted will allow for 3 different feed

rate settings for the #1 feed setting only. To adjust simply push the

“Reset Trim” button while the stove is operating at setting “1” and

watch the bar graph.

• When the “1” and “3” lights are illuminated on the bar graph

the low feed rate is at its “lowest” setting. (approx. 0.9 pounds

per hour)

• When the “1” light is illuminated on the bar graph the low

feed rate is at its “normal” setting.

• When the “1” & “4” lights are illuminated on the bar graph

the low feed rate is at its “highest” setting.

NOTE: When the stove is set on “1” the “reset trim” values will be

shown on the Feed Rate Advance bar graph. For example if the

Reset Trim is set to its lowest setting every time the stove is set to

low the “1” and “3” lights will be illuminated on the bar graph.

e. HEAT LEVEL ADVANCE

• This button when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence

the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will

incrementally change on the bar graph starting from level

“1” to “4”.

NOTE: When dropping more than 2 heat level settings (i.e. 4 to 1)

push the ‘High Fan’ button and allow the room air fan to run at that

setting for at least 5 minutes to prevent the stove from tripping the

high temp thermodisc. If the high temp thermodisc does trip (see

“Safety Features” section of this manual).

CAUTION: THE “4” SETTING IS DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY USE

ONLY. IF USED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, IT CAN SHORTEN THE

LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE UNITS COMPONENTS. AVOID USE AT

THIS SETTING FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR AT A TIME.

PROPER FUEL

This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. DO

NOT BURN:
•  Garbage;
•  Lawn clippings or yard waste;
•  Materials containing rubber, including tires;
•  Materials containing plastic;
•  Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or asphalt

products;

•  Materials containing asbestos;
•  Construction or demolition debris;
•  Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
•  Manure or animal remains;
•  Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated

materials;

• Unseasoned wood; or
• Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard. The

prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit

the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust,

wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in

an affected wood heater.

Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or

render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger flights,

which prevents proper pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other

than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for

which the stove has been approved and will void all warranties.

The design incorporates automatic feed of the pellet fuel into the

fire at a carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced

by hand will not increase heat output but may seriously impair the

stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do not

burn wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily on the

quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet brands that display these

characteristics:

f. Excess Fines – “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or

loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can be

screened before being placed in hopper to remove most fines.

g. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold

them together, or “bind” them.

h. High ash content – 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 burnpot plus vacuum

the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could damage

the auger. Breckwell cannot accept responsibility for damage

due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can recommend a good

quality pellet dealer in your area.

PRE-START-UP CHECK

Remove burnpot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes

are plugged. Clean the firebox, and then reinstall burnpot. Clean

door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually

sufficient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or door. Check

fuel in the hopper, and refill if necessary.

BUILDING A FIRE

Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only

the approved burnpot. CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR

FLUIDS TO START FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE

FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
During the start up period:
1.  DO NOT open the viewing door.
2.  DO NOT open the damper more than 1/4” (7 mm).
3.  DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand.
4.  DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the

auger after running out of pellets).

A dangerous condition could result.
NOTE: During the first few fires, your stove will emit an odor as the

high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to the metal.

Maintaining smaller fires will minimize this. Avoid placing items on

the stove top during this period because paint could be affected.

THE AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER

a.  Fill hopper and clean burnpot.
b.  Press “Power” button. Make sure light is on.
c.  The damper should be completely closed or open no more than

1/4” (7 mm) during start-up. This will vary depending on your

installation and elevation. Once fire is established adjust for

desired flame increasing the amount the damper is open as

the heat setting is increased (see “Damper Control” section of

this manual).
