2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controller to control the fire, until the flames
are slowly ‘dancing’ on top of the wood logs.
It is very important that your ESSE cook stove is not overfired, as this may cause
long term damage to the appliance, and invalidate your warranty.
The door should only be opened during the initial lighting / refuelling
of your ESSE cook stove. If left open during normal operation, you may
experience excessive smoke emitting into your room.
When the fire is lit within the cook stove, all controls and handles
become hot - The operating tool or glove provided should be used
when interacting with the appliance.
Take care not to strike the glass in the fire door, or slam the door shut,
which may result in damage.
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 ½” – 1” of ash within the
base of the firebox. 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.
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
cook stove.
EMPTYING THE FIREBOX OF EXCESS ASH
Your ESSE cook stove will be hot during and after use. Always use the
supplied Operating Tool and / or Stove Glove to riddle the appliance.
