Page 4: Your Cook Stove
YOUR COOK STOVE Figure 1 Ironheart Cook stove Figure 1 shows the cook stove and it’s controls. The fire is loaded, refuelled, and emptied through the large glass fire door. A flue damper is fitted in the bottom of the flue box and is in the open position when the lever is pointing to rear of cook stove. - Page 5 Included inside your cook stove is a multi-purpose Operating Tool – for adjusting the air supply and operating the door. A glove is also provided to protect the user’s hand. (Figure 2) WARNING Do not place towels on the handrail, keep pets and children away and ensure that any drapes near the appliance cannot ignite even when displaced.

Page 6: Lighting And Controlling The Fire
LIGHTING AND CONTROLLING THE FIRE Figure 3 Multi-fuel Grate Firebox Parts Before lighting the fire ensure that all parts are in the correct position, see Figure Ensure both air controls are in the open position by moving the controls to the LEFT, the oven damper is opened by rotating the control COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, and the flue damper opened by pushing the lever to the REAR of the cook stove. - Page 7 Figure 4 Logs Laid in Fire Box Place a firelighter in the space and surround with a small amount of kindling. Figure 5 Fire Lighter and Kindling in Place Page 7 IH (NA) R4 201102...
- Page 8 Lay a third log over the top of the space perpendicular to the other logs. Figure 6 Final Log in Position When you are ready to light the fire all that needs to be done is light the firelighter. Once the fire has been lit leave the door partially open to allow additional airflow until the fire has become established.
- Page 9 Figure 7 Oven Damper Controls Once the fire has been established the oven damper control may be used to regulate the oven temperatures along with the burning rate of the cook stove. WARNING When the cook stove is running ALL HANDLES become hot and the operating tool or glove provided should be used to open or close the doors (Figure 2) The burning rate of the stove can now be regulated by the rate at which fuel is added and use of the air control.

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 4 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 cook 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, giving the 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 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. Assuming that the wood is reasonably dry, the weight of a square metre of good hardwood may be double of that of a square metre of softwood.
- Page 14 Softwoods cut in the previous winter should, with proper storage, be ready to burn the next fall, whereas many hardwoods may take a bit longer than that. Oak, for example, is very slow to dry out andshould ideally be left for two years. It is also possible to purchase pre seasoned wood or kiln dried wood.
- Page 15 The resulting residue that sticks to the inner walls of the chimney is called creosote. Creosote is formed by unburned, flammable particulates present in the smoke. It is black or brown in appearance. It can be crusty and flaky, tar-like, drippy and sticky or shiny and hardened.

and lift to remove. Care should be taken when disposing of ashes that 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 bar can be moved towards the back and thus used 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 cook 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 cook 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 cook stove paints are available in aerosol form from your cook stove dealer, or from www.esse.com/spareparts/. Do not use this paint until the cook stove is completely cold and always follow the instructions on the container before starting to paint.

Page 27: Chimney And Flue Information
CHIMNEY AND FLUE INFORMATION The successful operation of the cook stove 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 320cm (200mm/8”... - Page 28 o Do not connect this appliance to a chimney flue serving another appliance. o Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system. 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.
- Page 29 Chimney DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM. This appliance must be connected to a factory built UL 103 HT chimney (ULC S629, in Canada) or a code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. Masonry Chimney: Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional.

Use this as a pass-through for a minimum 24 gauge single wall steel chimney connector.
- Page 33 Figure 16 Chimney Height Diagram Flue Draught The chimney can be checked before the appliance is installed with a smoke match. If the chimney doesn’t pull the smoke, it may suggest the chimney needs attention. This test is only a guide as an apparently poor flue may improve once the appliance is installed, lit and the flue is warmed.
- Page 34 A flue stabilizer can be fitted to reduce the draught through the appliance if the draught may exceed 25Pa. The flue stabiliser should be fitted in the same room as the appliance and be the same size as the flue pipe. Consult building regulations regarding additional ventilation.
