    CHIMNEY & 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: • It should be installed in accordance with BS EN 105287-1:2007. •...
  • Page 8 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.

    1000 WN & 1000 WD Operation Instructions SAFETY NOTES Please refer to ‘Installation’ section of this manual to ensure the appliance has been correctly installed and is connected to a suitable flue. Failure to do so will seriously inhibit the cooker’s performance and could be potentially fatal.

  • Page 20: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Your ESSE 1000 W is a combination appliance providing a hot plate, 3 ovens of different temperatures, room heat and in the case of the WD model domestic hot water. The firebox behind the top left door has an inner glass door for viewing the fire, which also houses the air controls.

  • Page 21: Before Using Your Cooker

    BEFORE USING YOUR COOKER Ensure that any plastic film used to protect surfaces has been removed from the bolster lids and from the inside of oven doors. The hotplate has been coated with oil at the factory to prevent rusting and therefore will require wiping with a damp cloth and drying with a tea towel or kitchen roll.
  • Page 22 FIGURE 9: INNER FIRE DOOR AND AIR CONTROLS LEFT CLOSED PRIMARY AIR CONTROL IGNITION CONTROL RIGHT OPEN Open the outer cast iron door to reveal the glass door and set primary and ignition air controls to open position. Open the glass door and set the fire using rolled up paper, on top of which small sticks of dry kindling wood has been placed.

  • Page 23: Cooking On The Hotplate

    COOKING ON THE HOTPLATE The hotplate is a heavy iron casting, machined flat on the cooking surface. Heat up from cold or low can be achieved quite quickly with a fast burning fire. Leave the bolster lids down to allow the hotplate to warm up. Once hot, the hotplate will retain temperature for long periods even as the fire burns down.
  • Page 24 the door is opened although the oven itself will not lose temperature as quickly. The dial can take a short time to register the correct temperature once the door is again closed. FIGURE 10B: COOKER LAYOUT The ovens are all of equal depth and each is equipped with wire shelves which can be set to the desired height.

  • Page 26: Types Of Fuel

    TYPES OF FUEL Seasoning and storing firewood. Wood, which has recently been cut and is still full of sap and moisture is known as "green" wood. Greenwood will generally burn poorly and inefficiently, because it can have over 50% water in its cells. It may be hard to light, smoulder, not put out any heat and cause more than the usual amount of creosote to build up in your chimney.

  • Page 27: The Wood Burning Process

    THE WOOD BURNING PROCESS Understanding what happens when wood is burnt will enable you to burn wood in a more environmentally friendly way, reduce the maintenance required for your chimney and get more out of your wood. There are 3 stages in the wood burning process: Evaporation When you light the cooker a lot of energy will be needed at first to boil away any...

    well worth the effort. Only empty excess ash periodically and always leave a bed of ash on which to light the next fire. OPERATING TIPS By taking time to get to know your cooker, following our maintenance guidelines and using good quality firewood you should enjoy trouble free operation of your wood fired cooker.

  • Page 29: What Type Of Wood Is Best

    WHAT TYPE OF WOOD IS BEST? The difference between 'hard' and 'soft' woods is the density of their cells or fibres. As a general rule, the deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in the autumn) are usually thought of as hardwoods and the evergreen trees (such as pines, firs and spruce) as the softwoods.
  • Page 30 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 31: The Importance Of A Healthy Flue

    THE IMPORTANCE OF A HEALTHY FLUE The successful operation of your range cooker is entirely dependent on the adequate performance (pull) of the chimney or flue to which it is connected. The following maintenance guidelines will not have the desired impact unless the flue is also maintained and cleaned regularly.

  • Page 32: Cleaning The Flue Ways - Every 3 Months

    CLEANING THE FLUE WAYS - EVERY 3 MONTHS Always carry out cleaning procedures when the cooker is out and has been allowed to cool sufficiently to avoid burns. With time and experience you will be able to gauge the intervals between flueway cleaning more accurately. It will vary depending on the quality of your firewood and performance of your flue.
  • Page 33 Flue box and Flueway FIGURE 16: ACCESS THE REAR FLUEWAY VIA THE FLUEBOX. Remove the front of the flue connector box and insert the flue brush from left to right, angling the brush down at 45°. Once you find the flue way entrance push the brush down until it stops then gently but firmly pull back and forth 3 or 4 times then remove the brush.
  • Page 34 Right Side Flueway FIGURE 18: ACCESS THE RIGHT SIDE FLUEWAY VIA THE TOP OF THE COOKER. There are two methods to clean the right side flueway. The first is to insert the brush at a shallow angle as shown above. The brush will need to turn 90° into the flueway so steady pressure will be needed to help the brush head round the bend.

    Cleaning the Flueway Between the Ovens Remove the inspection cover in the base of the main oven and insert the flue rake, raking from side to side and making sure the rake reaches the back and the side of the flue boxes. Vacuum the soot. FIGURE 20: REMOVAL OF BASE PLATE TO ACCESS THE FLUEWAY IN BETWEEN THE OVENS.

  • Page 37: Caring For Your Esse Cooker

    CARING FOR YOUR ESSE COOKER Your ESSE cooker is easy to keep clean. The cast iron hotplate helps to clean itself, by carbonising cooking spills and splashes. Just brush off the carbon dust. For stubborn stains, don’t be afraid to use a wire brush on the cast iron hotplate and inside the ovens.
