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.
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 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.
