Breckwell P24FSA 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 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. 
 

 
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.

Oiling – Convection blower only. Manufacturer suggests oiling 

every 6 months. Refer to figure 27a & 28a for lubrication points. 
Use SAE 20W motor oil or turbine oil. Limit to one or two drops.
