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 P24. 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. Be sure to
leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Four ash doors in the firebox in the
P24FS, three in the P24I, can be removed for periodic cleaning
(refer to figures 25 & 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 through door C (refer to figure 25 & 26) and by
opening the 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.
