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.
To ‘riddle’ the Fire Grate, position the straight end of the Operating Tool on the rear Riddling Boss,
so it rests on the top of the front Riddling Boss. Alternate the Operating Tool position quickly
between the left and right side position, which will force ash to drop into the Ashpan.
Positioning the Fire
Grate
The Fire Grate should be ‘closed’, with the Riddle Plate positioned to
block the slots in the below Grate. The Fire Grate should only be ‘riddled’
when the ashbed grows above 20mm deep, so as to remove some of the
excess ash.
.
ASHPAN
Your ESSE stove will be hot during and after use. Always use the supplied Operating
Tool and / or Stove Glove to remove and replace the Ashpan. Only remove the Ashpan
when the appliance and ash it contains are cool.
When the Fire Grate is ‘riddled’, ash will fall into the Ashpan below. When the Ashpan is approaching
being full, it should be emptied, and the ash disposed of. To remove the Ashpan, insert the folded
end of the Operating Tool into the slot at the front of the Ashpan, and carefully pull it forward, sliding
it clear of your ESSE stove.
Never allow the level of ash to build up so it touches the underside of the Fire Grate, as this can
cause permanent damage to your ESSE stove. Never pour hot ash into plastic waste bags or bins.
