Breckwell ECONOMY P22FSL - Manual (Page 19)

FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED
CAN RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY
HAZARDS. NEVER CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not
become plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container or ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible surface or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials pending final disposal. If ashes are disposed
of by soil burial or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
Remove ashes periodically as they fill the firebox. To remove ashes:
a.
Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 25).
c. Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot
by grasping and pulling straight out.
d. Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool.
Make sure burnpot holes are not plugged.
e. Use small shovel or vacuum to remove ashes. WARNING:
Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a
vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”, below.
f. Replace burn pot. Make sure it is level and pushed all the way
back in when it is reinstalled. If not reinstalled properly, the Hot
Rod will not work properly.
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 P22. Insert the
handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning
rod (refer to figure 25). 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 P22
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.
