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.
General cleaning
The exterior cast iron and sheet steel parts should be cleaned with a
soft brush or lint-free cloth. Should areas of the appliance need re-
painting, high temperature aerosol paints are available from your
retailer.
Catalytic Combustor
Regular inspection of the Catalytic Combustor and Particle Filter is
recommended, as described within the Particulate Reburn™
Technology section of this manual.
Glass Window
If the glass window needs cleaning, use a damp cloth. If stubborn stains
remains, use a dedicated glass cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or pads, as these can scratch the surface, which may cause the
glass to fail prematurely. Before relighting the appliance ensure that
the glass has fully dried.
Rope Seals
Ensuring a firm seal between the body of the appliance and the closed
door is essential for the efficient and clean burning of your ESSE stove.
The rope seals on the inside face of the door should be inspected
regularly, and replaced as necessary.
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
To ensure continued safe and efficient use of your ESSE stove, we recommend that your chimney is
swept by a professional at least once a year, typically before the stove season. Where the appliance
is used throughout the year, we recommend more regular sweeping.
SAFE SHUTDOWN
In the unlikely event of a chimney fire, a fault occurring with the appliance, or extreme weather
affecting the burn of the appliance, move the Air Control to the left, closing down the combustion
air supply to the minimum volume. This will minimise the intensity of the flames in the appliance,
which will then slowly die out. In the case of a fire in the chimney or flue, immediately call the Fire
and Rescue Service for assistance.
SEASONAL USE
If your ESSE stove is to not be used for a period of time, first clean the appliance as described within
the ‘Cleaning & Maintenance’ section of this manual. Empty both the Fire Grate and Ashpan of all
ash, before closing the door. Position both the Air Control to a central position – This will allow a
