3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The catalytic combustor is positioned above a
particle filter, and both are held together on a
sliding cartridge. As a result, both parts can be
simply moved to one side, allowing smoke to
‘bypass’ them, and pass directly up the flue.
The cartridge containing both parts can be
removed for cleaning and inspection.

Do not burn wet wood logs, chemically treated timber or heavily printed glossy
materials, (eg magazines), as this can damage the catalytic combustor.
Bypassing the
Catalytic Combustor
The Catalytic Combustor is most efficient when your ESSE stove has
reached a steady operating temperature. With this in mind, and so as to
prologue its life, the Catalytic Combustor should be bypassed when
lighting your ESSE stove, by simply pulling the ‘Bypass Boss’ out from the
top right hand side of the stove. Once the fire has taken hold, the
catalytic combustor can be positioned back into place. Similarly, it is
advisable to bypass the catalytic combustor when refuelling your ESSE
stove.
When fully opened, the bypass boss extends 150mm to the right of the
stove. However, to successfully bypass the catalytic combustor, it must
be opened to extend to a minimum of 75mm to the right of the stove.
