there is a high risk of the paint being “shocked” by excessive heat and could peel. Furthermore, if the stove is over-
fired it will invalidate your guarantee.
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING
THE FIRE, AND THAT YOU ARE CONFIDENT THE STOVE HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
ALWAYS WEAR A PROTECTIVE GLOVE WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.
Ignition (FOLLOW INITITAL TEMPERING INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE FIRST TO AVOID DAMAGE)
Ensure the ash-pan is in place. Ensure all air inlets are fully open
(tertiary air should be closed for first 3
burns)
Construct a pile of kindling in the middle of the grate using approx 500g of kindling wood
Light with a single chemical firelighter
Partially shut the door but leaving it cracked open slightly
After about 5 minutes or when the fire is well established, shut the door
After a further 3-5 minutes as the fire starts to die, add a further three larger pieces of wood weighing approx
0.75kg in total.
Once theses logs are alight, and after about 7 minutes or so, a normal load of 3 logs weighing up to 1.4kgs in
total can be added
(ONLY AFTER THE INITIAL TEMPERING PERIOD HAS BEEN FOLLOWED –
SEE ABOVE)
Once this load is burning well, the Primary air vents can be closed, with the Secondary and Tertiary vents left
open.
Refuelling
Open the Primary air vents
Add up to 1.4kg of wood
After about 2 minutes or when flames from the fresh fuel fully established, close the Primary vents
At high power output, your stove will require refuelling approximately every hour.
It is important to follow these instructions in order to achieve clean burning and to maximise the efficiency of
the stove
Do not leave the fire unattended until flames are well established on the newly charged logs
Always refuel onto hot embers.
If the fire has died out at the point of refuelling, use kindling to re-establish the fire and follow the “Ignition”
procedure above.
It is important that the stove is not overloaded with fuel.
Reduced burn rates can be achieved by reducing the openings of the Secondary and Tertiary air vents.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed – If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel
charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers
in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading
- The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded,
overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
– Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must
not be operated with the door left open except as directed in the instructions.
UK Clean Air Act 1993 - Smoke Control Areas
The Ekol Crystal-5 stove is suitable for use in smoke control areas when used in accordance with these instructions.
WARNING- The high temperature paint covering the stove will give off some fumes during the initial few uses of the
stove. The fumes are non-toxic, but some people may find them unpleasant – Ensure the area is well ventilated during
this period.
