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 –FREESTANDING MODELS
The P2000 Freestanding has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes:
a. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b. With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes.
(See “CLEANING” and Figure 22).
c. Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove the burnpots inner
section by grasping it and pulling straight up (see Figure 23).
d. Empty ashes from inner section into the pedestal ash bin through the opening in the bottom
of the firebox. Scrape inner section with cleaning tool. Make sure holes are not plugged.
e. Scrape ash in firebox into the pedestal ash bin through the opening in the bottom of the
firebox or vacuum to remove ashes.
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before
using a vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.
f. Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure 24) by unscrewing the two knobs on
the front of the pedestal below the ash lip. Dispose of ashes properly.
(See “ASH REMOVAL” above)
g. Replace ash bin, making sure to tighten the knobs and maintaining a good seal.
h. Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and pushed all the way back down
and that the igniter hole is to the rear when it is reinstalled (see Figure 23).
i. Make the burnpot is level and pushed all the way back in when it is reinstalled. If the collar
on the burnpot attached to the fresh air tube is not pushed back to meet the firebox wall,
the Hot Rod will not work properly.
ASH DISPOSAL -INSERT
Remove ashes periodically as they fill the firebox. To remove ashes:
a. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool.
b. With the door closed clean heat exchanger tubes.
c. (See “CLEANING” and Figure 22).
d. Open door and remove the optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove the burnpots inner
section by grasping it and pulling straight up (see Figure 23).
e. Empty ashes from the inner section and scrape with cleaning tool; make sure holes are not
plugged.
f. Use small shovel or vacuum to remove ashes.
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a vacuum.
See “VACUUM USE”.
a. Dispose of ashes 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 the efficiency of your unit. 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. When
finished be sure to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers –Three ash doors and an upper baffle in
the firebox in the P2000 can be removed for periodic cleaning
(Figure 25). These doors allow access to the chamber
surrounding the firebox.
NOTE: When removing the upper baffle do not remove the
screw; just loosen it enough to allow the baffle to be removed.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from these chambers. 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 cleaned as the ash
and dust can impede performance. Creosote can also
accumulate on the blades 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 by opening 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.

CHIMNEY CLEANING
a. Creosote Formation –When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue or a newly started fire or from a slow-
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire,
which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. Despite their high efficiency, pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under
certain conditions.
b. Fly Ash –This accumulates in the horizontal portion of an exhaust run. Though noncombustible, it may impede the normal exhaust
flow. It should therefore be periodically removed.
c. Inspection and Removal –The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected annually or per ton to determine if a creosote or
fly ash build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Inspect the
system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to
check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
The creosote should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. A qualified chimney sweep can perform
this service. It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and, if
necessary, repaired.
To clean the chimney, detach the vent at the combustion blower transition where it is attached to the blower. (See figure 28 for the P2000
Insert)
