AIR CONTROLS
Your Ecco Stove 580EC2 has three systems for air inlets for combustion.
a)
TERTIARY AIR
[introduced via the rear of the stove]
The aerated back panels provide Tertiary air from an air inlet at the back of the stove.
This is set fully open and non-adjustable.
b)
PRIMARY AIR
[introduced via the ash pan]
Open the ash pit drawer 10mm or so to fire the stove up to its optimum 160°C to 180°C
operating temperature on the top plate.
Only when the stove has reached its minimum 160°C should the primary air ash pit
drawer be closed. At this stage the pre-set secondary and tertiary openings will
automatically take over.
b.1) PRIMARY AIR WITHOUT OUTSIDE AIR OPTION
Primary air is provided for initial combustion and should remain fully open whilst the
stove reaches its minimum optimum operating temperature of 150°C on the top plate.
c)
SECONDARY AIR
[introduced from the rear of the stove]
–
front spinner is closed.
Secondary air is automatically fed into the fire box as in Primary and Tertiary air with no
other control available for adjustment.
This secondary air provides an air wash of very hot oxygen to burn down the inside of
the Ecco Stove
’
s glass door to provide clean combustion in conjunction with the Tertiary
Air and clear the majority of the blackening on the door glass.
It is important to note that poor flue draft will impair the stoves performance (less than
0.04 inches water gauge). Equally important excessive flue draft (over 0.06inches water
gauge) will cool the stove too quickly.
d)
OUTSIDE AIR
Outside air is an extra option. When fitted the Ecco Stove 580EC2 draws its combustion
air predominately from outside via the flexible 1 metre long air tube provided. Outside
air reduces drafts into the room in which the appliance stands but doesn’t obviate the
need for separate and fresh air into the room (to satisfy UK requirements)
This air is pre-heated before being delivered into the same points of combustion as with
the standard stove operation
1.
Primary air to beneath the grate bed
2.
Secondary air down the face of the glass
3.
Tertiary air through the same pre drilled back boards.
