Distance to Combustibles – Suitable For 12mm Hearth Rear (mm) Side (mm) MF12 Basic Operation Your stove comes equipped with 4 Main controls: Primary Air Control (A) – The main air control, used predominantly during start-up/lighting of your stove. This works on a push-pull slider system Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire www.ecosystoves.co.uk...
Tertiary Air Control (B) – Your tertiary air control allows you to control the amount of hot air fired into the burning chamber to re-ignite the smoke for a more complete burn. This works on a push pull slider Secondary Air Control (C) – This works on a left to right slider system and controls the flow of secondary air into the stove.

7.Once the fire is established, spread the kindling a little to expand the fire bed using an appropriate tool. 8.Place the smallest of your logs onto the fire being careful not to extinguish the flames and leave the door open. 9.Gradually build the fire by adding larger logs and begin closing the door.
Because of the warmer outside temperature, the house will feel colder than it is, and the desire to light the stove and at least match the outside temperature will reveal another problem, the stove will not light. If sufficient air is coming down the flue the stove will appear to begin its lighting cycle, but smoke will emanate from what are normally air inlets and into the room.
Slow combustion Should you wish to burn your stove at a slow rate, light the stove in the normal way to achieve nominal burn. Once optimum flue temperature has been achieved, close the primary air control and reduce the secondary air control to no more than 25%. This will allow the fuel to burn slowly whilst still emitting a comfortable heat.
Wood fuel with water content greater than 20% (‘green wood’) must not be used for combustion in a MF12 stove. The recommended maximum dimensions of wood logs are as specified below: Model Maximum Length - mm Maximum Diameter - mm...
Sooty deposits will be removed from the glass through the application of high heat (air wash) and can also be cleaned when cool with a suitable glass cleaner. Only replace stove glass with heat resistant glass. Wet logs, pokers and slamming will damage the glass. Glass is not covered under any guarantee because of this.

Blow Back If the doors are closed prematurely or intakes are not open enough after refueling, small explosions can force air through the seals of the stove. Smoke Leaks From The Stove As stoves become more insulated and efficient, greater care must be taken when re-fuelling to prevent smoke from entering the room when opening the door.

Protection Against Fire Risk When choosing where to site your stove, it is imperative that you adhere to the minimum distances to combustible materials as quoted in this manual. During prolonged use of the stove, the radial area will always be of an elevated temperature to the rest of the room. Whilst the minimum distances are more than sufficient to fixed items, care should be taken to ensure that items such as curtains, small soft furnishings such as padded foot stools etc are not likely to be placed in this area.

BROKEN FIRE BRICKS It is common for vermiculite bricks to break. They are fully heat resistant but can be quite fragile. The most common bricks to break are the base and back bricks as these take the brunt of abuse. To ensure the longevity of your fire bricks, please ensure that you gently place fuel in the fire and do not over stack fuel.
Page 17
BROKEN / CRAZED GLASS The glass used in all fires is fully approved heat resistant ceramic glass. This glass will not break through heat but can easily break if struck with a log or similarly hard object. This is why the glass is not covered by any manufacturer of stoves.

Rusty Stove All stoves on the market are either made from mild steel or cast iron. The mild steel models like this are shot blasted and then painted with high temperature black paint. This will protect the stove but if the stove remains damp or wet for a long time the oxidization process ( surface rusting ) will begin.
