VACUUM USE
If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum
designed for ashes.
(We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949 Ext. #27)
Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room.
Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special filter or bag available
to eliminate this leakage.
CLEANING
a. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your Breckwell stove is designed
with a built-in heat exchange tube cleaner. This should be
used every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on
the tubes, which reduces the efficiency of your unit. Insert the
handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning
rod (refer to figure 22). The cleaner rod is located in the grill
above the stove door. Move the cleaner rod back and forth
several times to clean the heat exchanger tubes. When
finished be sure to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Three ash doors and an upper baffle in
the firebox in the P2000 can be removed for periodic cleaning
(Figure 25). These doors allow access to the chamber
surrounding the firebox.
NOTE: When removing the upper baffle do not remove the
screw; just loosen it enough to allow the baffle to be removed.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from these chambers. In
some cases you will need to remove creosote, which can
accumulate rapidly under certain conditions. A small wire brush
can be used. It is important to remove this creosote because it is
highly combustible. INSPECT BEHIND THESE CLEANING
PLATES AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED
UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND
CREOSOTE ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERATING
PRACTICES. Use the small wire brush to also clean the inside of
the chamber walls, above the access doors.
BLOWERS
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCONNECT POWER
BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.
• Cleaning – Over a period of time, ashes or dust may collect on
the blades of both the combustion blower and convection
blower. Periodically the blowers should be cleaned as the ash
and dust can impede performance. Creosote can also
accumulate on the blades in the combustion blower. This
needs to be brushed clean. The convection blower is
accessed by opening the stove’s left side panel. The
combustion blower can be accessed by opening the stove’s
right side panel. The convection blower is on the left (facing
stove), and the combustion blower is on the right.
NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge balancing
clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades. Some stove
owners lightly spray an anti-creosote chemical on the fire to
help reduce creosote formation within the stove.
