Remove and or clean above the steel gull wing baffle plate in the top of the firebox.
Ensure the chimney flue and stove pipe are swept early summer time or after stoves shut down
for the summer.
Oil the door hinges and door catch mechanism all in readiness for the new heating season.
a)
Adverse flue conditions (downdraught or pressurisation) will result in poor performance; door
glass blackening and sooting in the flue ways. Such conditions
must
be rectified by improving
flue performance immediately. Clean any tar/deposits off the door glass.
b)
Repairs or replacements must be carried out by a competent engineer.
Flueways are accessed by removing the cleaning plugs at a+ b + c + d and brushing vertically with the
flue brush provided.
Horizontal flue ways should be cleaned via the cleaning plugs at a + b + c + d and debris swept down in
to the vertical flue ways.
After cleaning vertically and horizontally the cleaning plugs at c and b should be removed and cleaned
out with a vacuum cleaner or suction hose.
Lastly remove the gull wing baffle at g and brush off
–
remove the 2 retaining pins in the door frames
body and drop down
–
turn sideways and remove through the front door. Reinstate in reverse order but
ensure the rear air box seats against the back of the stove with the back aerated bricks supporting it.
Always check the flue is clear after a prolonged period of shutdown or non use.
Vertical side flueways are cleaned through the top cleaning plugs along with the flue channels under the
head of the stove through those self-same plugs and soot / deposits should be vacuumed out through
the face lower cleaning plugs to remove the debris cleaned down. These plugs must always be re-fitted
firmly in place before lighting or whilst running the Ecco Stove. The firebox door and ash pit door should
remain closed at all times other than re-fuelling (fire box door) and ash pit door after following the
lighting and re-fuelling procedures stated in these instructions.
The grate should be de-ashed by raking through the fire box door to ensure combustion air can flow
through the grate bars (only carry out these works when the stove is not alight).
The stove is now ready for re-use after all cleaning plugs have been re-fitted.
The door glass may be cleaned free of either grey transparent fly ash deposits or tar deposits from its
inner surface with a proprietary glass cleaner available from your retailer.
20. PAINT FINISHES
Paint finishes on your Ecco Stove may produce a heavy chemical smell for a number of initial firings from
being newly painted. This is normal and will only last for a few high firings. Ventilate the room well until
the smell has cleared.
