CONTINUOUS BURNING
a)
INITIAL FIRING
WARNING RUN THE STOVE WITH KINDLING AND MAXIMUM 50 MM DIAMETER LOGS
FOR THE FIRST 2 HOURS OF OPERATION TO AVOID CRACKING THE SILICON CARBIDE.
The stove may be started with either a fire lighter or paper twists with kindling
(approximately 0.5kg) open the ash pit drawer for 1-2mm for start primary air. When
initial combustion is underway add a 1.4kg batch of wood laid across the fire box.
Initial firing from new the Ecco Stove should be fired gently to a maximum of 100⁰C on
the stoves top for the first 2 hours of running, then allow to cool naturally before
refiring.
Continue to run as such between 150°C to 200°C thereafter.
To maintain a higher sustained output from repeated intermittent firing. The stove may
be run day and night by repeated intermittent firings but will not burn for more than 1-
1½ hours on one filling or before re fuelling (dependent upon how well the fire draws
and the density of the fuel being burned).
To close the stove down as far as possible ensure the ash pit drawer is fully closed.
b)
SUBSEQUENT FIRING
Re starting the stove after its initial firing should be carried out with the ash pit cleared
out and the ash pit drawer open 1-2mm or so for maximum primary air to see a bright
fire.
This will rapidly warm up the stoves body. Burn brightly as required for heat output
needed.
c)
RE FUELLING AFTER STARTING
Re fuelling before the initial fuel is fully burned away with 1.4kg of wood but ensure the
end grain is pointing away from the door glass. Run for 1-2 minutes or so to ensure the
new load of wood is in combustion then close the ash pit drawer to ensure best
combustion and to keep the door glass clear.
The stove may be run as such for as long as needed. Your Ecco Stove 580EC2 is not
designed to stay in for long periods or overnight.
d)
REFUELLING ON A LOW FIRE BED
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient
quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable
period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent
excessive smoke.
e)
OPERATION WITH DOOR LEFT OPEN
Operation with door left open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be
operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
