We've poured all of our knowledge, expertise and passion for designing and manufacturing market leading stoves, dating back to 1854, into producing your ESSE stove. All ESSE stoves are manufactured at our factory in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, and we're confident that if appropriately installed, maintained and cared for, your ESSE stove will provide you with many years of room heating, comfort and joy. Before you fire up your ESSE stove for the first time, ensure that your installer has installed the stove in line with the `Installation' section of this manual, and that the flue and chimney has been swept. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared flue. As you would expect, when in use, all parts of the stove become hot, so always use the supplied operating tool or glove when interacting with your ESSE stove. A fireguard manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 should be used, if it is likely that children or pets may come into contact with the appliance. The stove is suitable for intermittent operation. Do not use an aerosol spray close to the stove when alight. These instructions provide all the necessary information to both install, then operate your ESSE stove. The key information relating to your stove, including the serial number, can be found on the data plate, located at the rear of the stove. Simply swing the data plate up to access the information. Please quote the model and serial number, in any future communication with your retailer or the manufacturer. Data plate location 4 2.

Once established, add larger logs, fully close the door, and adjust the air control to control the fire. 5 3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CO ALARM Your installer should have ensured that you have a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm fitted, in the same room as your ESSE stove. This is a requirement of the BS EN 50292:2013 standard, and you should make sure that you are familiar with the operation of this essential piece of equipment. VENTILATION All stoves require a consistent supply of `combustion air', to allow for the combustion of the fire. Permanent external air vents are required for stoves with a nominal output of greater than 5kW. Your installer will have advised you on the requirements, within your situation. For more information, see the `Ventilation' section of the `Installation Instructions' part of this document. FUEL Your ESSE stove has been designed to burn wood logs, of appropriate quality and moisture content. Approved fuels Wood logs Unapproved fuels Wet wood Overly dry wood Treated timber Smokeless mineral fuel Petroleum based fuels Bituminous house coal This appliance is not appropriate for use as an incinerator, and unsuitable fuels should not be used. Failure to follow this requirement will invalidate your warranty. WOOD LOGS Burning wood logs within your ESSE stove provides sustainable, efficient and `clean' heating to your room. The moisture content of your wood is very important, as this affects both how `cleanly' your stove will burn, and also how long the fuel will burn for. Referred to as `green wood', recently felled wood will almost certainly have a moisture content that is too high to burn efficiently and cleanly. Similarly, overly dry wood will burn quickly, with higher emissions, making your stove less economical to run. We recommend using wood logs with a moisture content of 15 20%. This is best achieved by either storing green wood yourself for a period of 12 18 months, and checking regularly with a moisture detector, or purchasing it from a reputable fire wood specialist, who is able to control the moisture content of their wood logs. 6 3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS For best results, we recommend your wood logs are cut to a length of 300mm, and a diameter / width of 70mm. COMBUSTION AIR AND AIRWASH ESSE stoves are designed to achieve the most efficient heat outputs, with the `cleanest burn'. To achieve this, significant research and development investment has been given to how to provide appropriate levels of `combustion air' to the correct parts of the fire, at the correct time of the burn cycle. Combustion air is drawn into your ESSE stove from two locations, one of which is controllable. It is important to understand the function of each, and where appropriate, how they are controlled. 1. Controllable air 2. Tertiary air 3. Airwash Combustion air & Airwash Combustion Air Tertiary Air Airwash Controllable Combustion Air enters your ESSE stove from the top of the appliance, dropping down into the firebox, via the `Airwash' (see below). The Air control incorporates Precision BurnTM technology, to provide a more precise adjustment, to better control the air supply and burn rate. When moved to the right, there is more air and a fiercer burn rate, whilst moved to the left, there is less air, and softer burn rate. Tertiary Air enters your ESSE stove from the rear, through the rear fire bricks, to provide additional combustion air directly into the flames. The amount of Tertiary Air is not adjustable, but carefully positioned to help achieve improved efficiency and a clean burn. The Airwash is created by Controllable Combustion Air being pushed down the inside face of the glass window, creating an air curtain that helps reduce build-up of soot, keeping the glass clean. 7 3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Air control, incorporating Precision BurnTM technology 8 3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIGHTING YOUR ESSE STOVE When your ESSE stove is first lit, it may smoke or give off an odour. This is quite normal, as the materials used within its manufacture are heated up for the first time. These symptoms will stop within a short period, but ensure that the room is well ventilated during this `settling in' process. You may hear `ticking noises' for a short period each time the stove is lit. This is also quite normal, and will stop once the sheet steel and cast iron have warmed up to temperature. The pallet that your ESSE stove was supplied on has been produced from timer that is appropriate for use as kindling, so can be broken up and chopped, for this purpose. Initially only light a small fire, for a period of 1 2 hours, to dry out any moisture found within the flue and chimney. Whilst lighting the fire, do not leave your ESSE stove unattended, until the fire is established, the door is fully closed, and you have adjusted the controller(s) to the appropriate level. Before lighting your ESSE stove, ensure that the fire grate is fully closed, (pushed to the left), and that Air Control is fully open (Pushed to the right). Lay three small pieces of kindling wood next to each other in the centre of the grate, and place a few firelighters / tightly rolled up newspaper on top of them. On top, place two pieces of kindling wood at ninety degrees to the first three, either side of the firelighters / newspaper. Add three more pieces of kindling wood on top, in line with the bottom row, to create a small lattice structure. Safely light the firelighters / newspaper, and allow the flames to take hold. Once the fire has taken hold, place two small wood logs onto the growing flames, and close the door, but leaving it slightly ajar. Once the flames have established on the small wood logs, (typically within 3 5 minutes), add the desired load of larger wood logs, and fully close the door. When the fire has fully established, slowly reduce the Controllable Combustion Air volume, by moving the Air Control to the left. Continue to use the Air Control to control the fire, until the flames are slowly `dancing' on top of the wood logs. 9 3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS We recommend a maximum load of wood logs of 2.1Kg / hour, which when stacked in the firebox, should not sit above the row of Tertiary Air holes, located at the rear of the firebox. The door should only be opened during the initial lighting and refuelling of your ESSE stove. If left open during normal operation, you may experience excessive smoke emitting into your room. REFUELLING Refuelling should be undertaken whilst the flames on the current fuel are still established, or you may experience excessive smoking. If the current fire has died out, reignite the fire with additional kindling, before adding additional fuel. When positioning fuel into the firebed, ensure that the fuel is not touching the back or side walls, or the glass window, as this will result in a less clean burn. To enjoy optimum wood burning, leave an ashbed of 1 2cm of ash within the fire grate. First rake the current fuel, to create a bed of hot embers, on which to place the new fuel. Then place the new wood logs onto the hot embers. For the most efficient and cleanest burn, two wood logs should be placed running from left to right, as shown below. Close the door, and open the Air Control, to allow flames to take hold on the new wood logs. Once the fire is once again established, slowly reduce the controllable air volume, by moving the control to the left. Continue to use the Air Control to control the fire, until the flames are slowly `dancing' on top of the wood logs. Do not `overload' the fire with excessive amounts of fuel, as this will result in over-firing, and may cause permanent damage to your ESSE stove. Optimum positioning of wood logs, when refuelling Top View REDUCED BURNING Once a fire has established, close down the air control, and ensure that the door is firmly closed. Experimentation with the setting of air controls may be required, depending upon the flue draft and fuel type. A build-up of soot on the inside face of the glass window is likely. 10
