Breckwell P2700 - Manual (Page 16)

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 P2700. The P2700
has a finger tab on the end of the cleaning rod (refer to figure
14). The cleaner rod is located in the grill above the stove door.
Move the cleaning rod back and forth several times to clean
the heat exchanger tubes. Be sure to leave tube cleaner at the
rear of the stove.
CAUTION: The finger tab will be hot if used while stove is in
operation.
b.
Interior Chambers – Three ash doors in the firebox in the
P2700 can be removed for periodic cleaning (refer to figure
16). 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 c reosote 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 removing the stove’s side
panel. The combustion blower can be accessed by removing 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 17 for lubrication points. Use SAE 20W
motor oil or turbine oil. Limit to one or two drops.
