To reload, pull open the air vent on the left hand side and push the top lever in as well, and then open the
door slowly. Push some of the burning charcoal to the back of the combustion chamber and, using the
gloves provided; place the fresh log towards the front of the appliance.
Close the door and after 1 minute return the air slide to the central or desired position.
After being used 10 -20 times some ash might need to be removed.
Never empty all the ash, leave at least ¾” (20mm) in the bottom.
Ensure the fire is out before trying to remove any ash.
Using a small shovel, scrape back the top layer to one side and scoop out some of the lower ash. You can
place cold ashes on your compost heap or directly round fruit trees or rose bushes.
Never put hot ashes in a plastic dustbin.
Spread the remaining ash back evenly over the base of the fire box and you are ready to relight the cooker.
Smokeless Zone’s
The ECO Range T3 is almost certainly the cleanest wood burning cooker in the world and so (awaiting paper
work) DEFRA approved for burning wood in ‘smoke less’ zone in cities.
Smoke and pollution is generated at 2 main critical times:
1/ When lighting.
2/ When adding fresh fuel.
To reduce nuisance at these times:
a) Ensure you light quickly with plenty of tinder wood (soft wood, old pallets are excellent source) or
manufactured fuel from compressed sawdust, in the form of briquettes. Open the air vents and
keep open till the stove/cooker is very hot, about 10-15 minutes.
b) Use dry fuel, load small amounts frequently where possible, about 1.5kg is ideal, don’t let the embers
get to cool, and don’t exceed the maximum load which is about 2kg.
c) If the fire bed has gone low and there is insufficient burning materials in the fire bed to light a new
fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refueling must be carried out onto a sufficient
quantity of glowing embers and ash to ensure that the new fuel charge will ignite. If the fuel bed is
too low or cool, suitable kindling must be used to re-light the flames.
Remember smoke is un- burnt fuel being wasted up the chimney and costing you money as
well as polluting the atmosphere.
Glass & Enamel
Simple glass cleaner will keep the cooker glass fresh most of the time. We find a daily clean with Mr
Mussel glass cleaner helps prevent the glass from getting to dirty and makes the glass easier to clean. A
proprietary cooker / stove glass cleaner being needed once a month or so to deep clean any stains.
The glass is double glazed; check the rope seals and screws regularly to ensure a long life.
In the event of a glass breakage, lift the door off and place on a flat surface. Undo the 4 screws holding the
glass fixing brackets and place to one side. Remove the sheet of glass and clean the un-broken one. Check
the door seal and replace if required. The seal/rope is ready glued, peel back the cover strip and push into
place, cut to length using a sharp craft knife.
