When you turn the knob all the way to the right, clockwise, this will decrease the burn time

the firebox and maintained the wood to your esse cooker based on how “hard” you are using
your Esse 990CH
Lighting your stove
Lighting your Esse 990CH
is all about making the smoke exit your cooker as easily as
possible
To do this – set your dampers in this configuration
•
Boiler Bypass control to be horizontal
•
Oven Bypass leaver to be pushed to the back
Now let's light your cooker
•
•
Have your firebox FULL of kindling, nothing thicker than your fingers
•
And light using firelighters
•
Shut the firebox door
•
Leave the ashtray door slightly ajar
•
And have the air control thermostat (the silver knob at the bottom left of your stove)
fully turned clockwise
You need to ensure the wood is completely alight before shutting the ash box door
The next load of wood should be as thick as your wrist, nothing thicker – and fully load the
fire box.
Note :
the damper controls at this stage are in Stove Mode
