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 14). 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 in the firebox in the 
P2700 can be removed for periodic cleaning (refer to figure 
17). 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 
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.
