Page 10: Notes On Woodburning
When refuelling the cook stove it is recommended that the logs are placed running front to back as in Figure 5 as this leads to the cleanest combustion. Before lighting a full fire in the cook stove for the first time it is recommended that 3 smaller fires are lit first to ensure that any moisture is driven out. -
Page 11: Long Term Shutdown
Above 260 Too hot. Heat will be wasted up the chimney. Excess heat may damage the cooking stove or ignite an existing accumulation of tar resulting in a chimney fire. In the event of a fire, close the air controls on the appliance and call the fire brigade for assistance. - Page 12 Wood is composed of bundles of microscopic tubes that were used to transport water from the roots of the tree to the leaves. These tubes will stay full of water for years even after a tree is dead. This is why it is so important to have your firewood cut to length for 6 months or more before you burn it, it gives this water a chance to evaporate since the tube ends are finally open and the water only has to migrate a small distance to escape.
- Page 13 some deciduous trees. Birch, for example, is not very hard at all. So we should understand that there is a whole range of densities amongst our tree species, including medium dense woods, which cannot be satisfactorily classed as hard or soft. Firewood tends to be sold by volume rather than weight.
- Page 14 There is also the matter of seasoning to be considered. When you buy wood, it will usually have been cut in the winter of the year you buy it. Hard woods tend to take longer than softwoods to fully dry out. Softwoods cut in the previous winter should, with proper storage, be ready to burn the next autumn, whereas many hardwoods may take a bit longer than that.
- Page 15 breath on a colder window or mirror. So when the by-products of combustion (smoke in the form of gases) exit the cooker, and flow up into the relatively cooler chimney, condensation occurs. The resulting residue that sticks to the inner walls of the chimney is called creosote.

are still warm. They should not be put into a plastic receptacle or anything that might melt in contact with heat. Always use the Operating Tool to open the ash door and remove the ash pan. Use the Operating Tool to securely lock the door and ensure the door is closed properly. - Page 17 to hold a smaller amount of fuel at the rear of the firebox. This also has the advantage of reducing the heat radiated through the window, making life easier for the cook. Also the fire guard can be slid in front of the fire door in order to reduce the heat through the glass and protect the operator whilst cooking.

Page 18: Extended Woodburning
EXTENDED WOODBURNING This appliance has not been certified as a slow combustion stove. Loading a large amount of wood into the cooking stove all at once will reduce the temperature inside. If the temperature is too low, the gases given off from the wood will be too low to combust, resulting in a lot of smoke which will cover the inside of the cooking stove, including the glass, with soot. -
Page 19: Cleaning And Maintainance
CLEANING AND MAINTAINANCE The successful operation of your cook stove is entirely dependent on the adequate performance (pull) of the chimney or flue to which it is connected. The following maintenance guidelines will be pointless unless the flue is also maintained and cleaned regularly. - Page 20 High temperature resistant cooking stove paints are available in aerosol form from your cooking stove dealer, or from www.esse.com/spareparts/. Do not use this paint until the cooking stove is completely cold and always follow the instructions on the container before starting to paint.

Page 28: Chimney And Flue Information
CHIMNEY AND FLUE INFORMATION The successful operation of the cooking appliance relies on the adequate performance of the chimney to which it is connected. The following chimney guidelines must be followed: o It should have an internal cross section of no less than 320cm2 (200mm dia.) (If a flue liner is used, it should be 150mm (6’’) diameter and be made of suitable material for burning wood). - Page 29 NOTE The chimney/flue to which this appliance is being connected must be swept and examined for soundness prior to installation. Remedial action should be taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary. Where the chimney is believed to have served an open fire installation it is possible that a higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage.
- Page 30 as the appliance and be the same size as the flue pipe. Consult building regulations regarding additional ventilation. A fan flue booster can also be fitted if the flue draught is poor. This should be fitted according to the instructions supplied with the booster. An electrical supply will be needed.
