Esse 105 Stove Instruction

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. As
a general rule, permanent external air vents are not required for stoves with a nominal output of
5kW or less. However, some newer houses with a low air permeability may need a permanent
external air vent, irrespective of the nominal output of the stove. Your installer will have advised
you on the requirements, within your situation. For more information, see the ‘Ventilation’ section
of the ‘Installation Instructions’ part of this document.
FUEL
Your ESSE stove has been designed to burn wood logs, incorporating our unique ‘Particulate
Reburn™ Technology’, which contributes to making it the cleanest wood-burning stove we’ve ever
built.
Approved fuels
Unapproved fuels
✔ Wood logs
✘ Wet wood
✘ Overly dry wood
✘ Treated timber
✘ Smokeless mineral fuel
✘ Petroleum based fuels
✘ Bituminous house coal
✘ Printed glossy materials, (eg magazines)
This appliance is not appropriate for use as an incinerator, and unsuitable fuels should
not be used. Failure to follow this requirement will invalidate your warranty.
WOOD LOGS
Burning wood logs within your ESSE stove provides sustainable, efficient and ‘clean’ heating to your
room. The moisture content of your wood is very important, as this affects both how ‘cleanly’ your
stove will burn, and also how long the fuel will burn for. Referred to as ‘green wood’, recently felled
wood will almost certainly have a moisture content that is too high to burn efficiently and cleanly.
Similarly, overly dry wood will burn quickly, with higher emissions, making your stove less
economical to run.
