Breckwell P23FSA Manual De Propietario

 
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. 
 

 
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. 
 

 
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.
