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 heat transfer on the P23. Insert
the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the
cleaning rod (refer to figure 24). 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.
Be sure to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Four ash doors in the firebox in the
P23 can be removed for periodic cleaning (refer to figure
26). These doors allow access to the chamber surrounding
the firebox.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from this chamber. 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 vacuumed clean
as these ashes can impede performance. Creosote can also
accumulate 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 stoves 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.
• Oiling – Convection blower only. Manufacturer suggests oiling
every 6 months. Refer to figure 28a & 29 for lubrication
points. Use SAE 20W motor oil or turbine oil. Limit to one or
two drops.
