3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Anticipated Life
Well maintained and cared for, the Catalytic Combustor can remain
effective for up to ten years. However, to ensure the continued cleanest
burn, and maximum efficiency, we recommend replacing the Catalytic
Combustor every five to six years.
It is important to regularly inspect the Catalytic Combustor for signs of
physical damage and build-up of creosote, which can lead to the airflow
being blocked. In either of these scenarios, the Catalytic Combustor
should be replaced. We recommend having the Catalytic Combustor
inspected annually by your service professional, at the same time as the
stove is inspected and the flue / chimney swept. Should your stove’s
efficiency and / or heat output drop, or if there is a noticeable increase
in visible smoke emitting from your chimney, this may also suggest the
need to replace the Catalytic Combustor.
Maintenance
To prolong the life of the Catalytic Combustor, and keep the efficiency
and heat output of your ESSE stove high, both the Catalytic Combustor
and Particle Filter should be cleaned regularly. We recommend having
both parts cleaned annually by your service professional, at the same
time as the stove is inspected and the flue / chimney swept. To do so,
when the stove is cold, remove the both Catalytic Combustor and Particle
Filter from the stove, and wrap them in a plastic bag. Gently tap both
parts, one at a time, allowing any build-up of dust to fall into the bag,
before removing the parts, sealing the bag, and disposing of it into a
waste bin. Then either use a domestic vacuum cleaner or a soft bristle
brush, to remove any remaining dirt within the two parts. Once cleaned,
both parts should be repositioned within your ESSE stove.
