AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE. e. Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the fire for the combustion process. Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside air vent to provide sufficient combustion air. f. Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be wise to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a fire extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit. g. Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefficient burn and could allow smoke spillage or sparks to escape. h. Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation. i. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord. j. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed, cracked or broken. k. If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during the summer months). MAINTENANCE20 MAINTENANCE20 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. FIGURE 24 ASH DISPOSAL – FREESTANDING MODELS The P23 Freestanding has an ash bin located below the firebox. To remove ashes: a. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool. b. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 24). c. Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot by grasping it, and the slider plate, and pulling straight out (refer to Figure 25). d. Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool. Make sure burnpot holes are not plugged. CLOSED OPEN e. Scrape ash in firebox into the under-stove bin through the opening under the slider plate (see Figure 26) or vacuum to remove ashes. WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before FIGURE 25 using a vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”. f. Periodically remove and empty ash bin (see Figure 27) by pulling on handle below ash lip. Dispose of ashes properly. (See “ASH REMOVAL” above) g. Replace ash bin. h. Replace burn pot and slider plate. Make sure the burn pot is level and it, and the slider plate, are both pushed all the way back in when they are reinstalled. If the burn pot is not reinstalled properly, the Hot Rod will not work properly. ASH DISPOSAL - INSERT Remove ashes periodically as they fill the firebox. To remove ashes: FIGURE 26 a. Make sure fire is out and firebox is cool. b. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 24). 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”. f. Replace burn pot. Make sure it is level and pushed all the way back on. If not reinstalled properly, the Hot Rod will not work properly. FIGURE 27 MAINTENANCE 21 MAINTENANCE 21 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 P23. Insert the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod (refer to figure 24). 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 P23 can be removed for periodic cleaning (refer to figure 26). These doors allow access to the chamber surroundin...
