1. WELCOME TO YOUR ESSE Welcome to the ESSE family. We’ve poured all of our knowledge, expertise and passion for designing and manufacturing market leading stoves, dating back to 1854, into producing your ESSE stove. All ESSE stoves are manufactured at our factory in Barnoldswick, Lancashire, and we’re confident that if appropriately installed, maintained and cared for, your ESSE stove will provide you with many years of room heating, comfort and joy.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CO ALARM Your installer should have ensured that you have a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm fitted, in the same room as your ESSE stove. This is a requirement of the BS EN 50292:2013 standard, and you should make sure that you are familiar with the operation of this essential piece of equipment. VENTILATION All stoves require a consistent supply of ‘combustion air’, to allow for the combustion of the fire.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS For best results, we recommend your wood logs are cut to a length of 300mm, and a diameter / width of 70mm. COMBUSTION AIR AND AIRWASH ESSE stoves are designed to achieve the most efficient heat outputs, with the ‘cleanest burn’. To achieve this, significant research and development investment has been given to how to provide appropriate levels of ‘combustion air’ to the correct parts of the fire, at the correct time of the burn cycle.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS LIGHTING YOUR ESSE STOVE When your ESSE stove is first lit, it may smoke or give off an odour. This is quite normal, as the materials used within its manufacture are heated up for the first time. These symptoms will stop within a short period, but ensure that the room is well ventilated during this ‘settling in’ process. You may hear ‘ticking noises’ for a short period each time the stove is lit.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS We recommend a maximum load of wood logs of 2.1Kg / hour, which when stacked in the firebox, should not sit above the row of Tertiary Air holes, located at the rear of the firebox. The door should only be opened during the initial lighting and refuelling of your ESSE stove. If left open during normal operation, you may experience excessive smoke emitting into your room.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THE FIRE GRATE AND RIDDLING Your ESSE stove will be hot during and after use. Always use the supplied Operating Tool and / or Stove Glove to riddle the appliance. The Fire Grate in your ESSE stove is made of two parts – The Grate and the Riddle Plate. The Fire Grate can be ‘riddled’ by sliding the Riddle Plate quickly between the left and right position, forcing excess ash to fall through the slots in both parts, into the Ashpan below.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Your ESSE stove should be inspected frequently, and any required maintenance undertaken. We recommend that your ESSE stove is serviced once a year by a qualified service professional. Repairs or modifications should only be undertaken by ESSE authorised professionals. Only genuine ESSE replacement parts should be used, or your warranty may become invalid.

4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 ESSE 775 CO ALARM Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood / biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling, a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm must be fitted in the same room as the appliance, in accordance with BS EN 50292:2002. Please consult Document J of the Building Regulations for detailed guidance.
4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 TOP OR REAR FLUE CONNECTION The appliance can be installed with either a top or rear connected 6” flue. The stove comes supplied with a top connection, so if a rear connected flue is desired, it must be converted before fitting in place. Before converting the stove to rear flue connection, the rear heatshield must be removed from the stove, (by releasing the two rear fixings), and the knock out section removed.
4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 1. 2. Remove the heatshield, and remove the knock out section (as escribed above). Remove the flue plate, from the rear of the stove, by unscrewing the three outer fixing screws (using a 13mm spanner). 3. Open the stove door, and remove the top steel baffle. 4. Remove the two nuts, securing the stove top in place, (using a 13mm spanner), and lift it clear from the stove. 5. Release the steel flue collar, by unscrewing the three fixing Philips head bolts. 6.
4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 5 CLEARANCE DISTANCES (COMBUSTIBLES & NON-COMBUSTIBLES) The appliance comes with a rear heatshield, which must be installed, irrespective whether the surrounding materials are combustible or non-combustible. Required distances to combustibles, (with the supplied heatshield), can be found in the Product Specification section of this manual. If a double wall flue pipe is used for the installation, the permitted distance to combustibles is reduced.
