Maintenance; Ash Removal; Ash Disposal - Breckwell LUXURY SERIES SP2700 Owner's Manual

FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN RE-
SULT 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-fi tting lid. The closed
container or ashes should be placed on a noncombustible surface or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materials pending fi nal 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

The SP2700 has an ash bin located below the fi rebox. To remove ashes:
a. Make sure fi re is out and fi rebox is cool.
b. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see "CLEANING" and Figure 14).
c. Remove optional imitation log set, if in use. Remove burn pot by grasping
it and pulling straight out.
d. Empty ashes from burn pot. Scrape burn pot with cleaning tool. Make
sure burnpot holes are not plugged.
e. Scrape ash in fi rebox into the under-stove bin through the opening (see
Figure 15) 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 16) by unscrewing
the two knobs on the front of the pedestal below the lower cowl. 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 burn pot. Make sure it 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 fi rebox wall, the Hot Rod will not
work properly.

SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide(CO) emis-
sions. CO is a poisonous gas when exposed to elevated concentrations for
extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in heaters
drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the
gases in closed or confi ned areas can be dangerous. Make sure your stove
gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing properly
to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use both smoke
and CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
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 fi lter or bag available to eliminate this leakage
