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 P4000. Insert the

 

handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning

 

rod (refer to figure 15). 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 and two upper baffles in

 

the firebox in the P4000 can be removed for periodic cleaning

 

(Figure 19). These doors allow access to the chamber

 

surrounding the firebox.

 

NOTE: When removing the upper baffles do not remove the

screws; just loosen them enough to allow the baffles to be

removed.

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.

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 removing the stove’s left side panel. The combustion blower can be accessed by removing the stove’s 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.
