OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing an ESSE stove. Please read these instructions carefully

to ensure your safety and enjoyment whilst using this product. Correctly

installed and operated, your ESSE stove will provide faithful service indefinitely.

We feel certain that like countless ESSE owners since 1854, you will be delighted

with the warmth and comfort it will provide.

BEFORE USING YOUR STOVE

The hotplate has been painted at the factory to prevent rusting and therefore

will require wiping with a damp cloth and drying with a tea towel or kitchen roll.

During the first few operations of the stove there may be some fumes emitted.

This is normal and part of the initial expansion & material curing process.

YOUR STOVE

Figure 1 Warmheart S Stove Dimensions

Figure 1 show the stoves dimensions controls. The fire is loaded, refuelled, and

emptied through the large glass fire door.

Figure 2 Warmheart S Stove Controls

Figure 2 shows the controls and cooking surface of the Warmheart S Stove.

Included inside your stove is a glove for operating the controls and opening the

door. (Figure 3)

Figure 3 Operating Glove

Figure 4 Filter Control

The stove is also fitted with a filter system controlled by the indicated control in

Figure 4. Pulling out this boss disengages the filter, pushing the boss in engages

the filter. The filter helps achieve a highly efficient ‘clean burn’. However, to

prolong its life, it should be disengaged when lighting the fire.

WARNING

Keep pets and children away and ensure that any curtains near the appliance

cannot ignite even when displaced. Surfaces will be hot when in use.

An extractor fan MUST NOT be fitted in the same room as the appliance.

LIGHTING AND CONTROLLING THE FIRE

Before lighting the fire ensure that all vermiculite bricks are in the correct

position.

Ensure the air control is in the open position by moving the control to the right

hand position, and the filter is disengaged.

Figure 5 Air Control in Open Position

Open the fire door and lay two logs along the base of the fire box forming a

space between them.

Figure 6 Logs Laid in Fire Box

Page 7

ESSE WH-S (UK) R3 210225

Place a firelighter in the space and surround with a small amount of kindling.

Figure 7 Fire Lighter and Kindling in Place

Lay a third log over the top of the space perpendicular to the other logs.

Figure 8 Final Log in Position

When you are ready to light the fire all that needs to be done is light the

firelighter.

Once the fire has been lit leave the door partially open to allow additional

airflow until the fire has become established. When the fire is established the

fire door can be fully closed. The air control can be moved towards the closed

position once the sooting has burnt off the brickwork. The air flow can be

reduced by moving the control to the left once the fire has become established.

The filter can now be engaged.

WARNING

When the stove is running ALL CONTROLS become hot and the glove

provided should be used to open or close the doors. (Figure 3)

The burning rate of the stove can now be regulated by the rate at which fuel is

added and use of the air control. The maximum amount of fuel to be loaded

during normal operation is 2kg per hour in order to achieve nominal heat output.

NOTE

This appliance is not an incinerator and only dry well seasoned wood should

be used. Burning coal or other solid fuels such as treated wood is not

possible.

When refuelling the stove it is recommended that the logs are placed running

front to back as in Figure 6 as this leads to the cleanest combustion.

During normal operation the stove may emit ticking noises as the metal warms

and expands. This is normal and the stove will settle once it is up to temperature.

Before lighting a full fire in the stove for the first time it is recommended that 3

smaller fires are lit first to ensure that any moisture is driven out.

NOTES ON WOODBURNING

Wood burns most efficiently when the air for combustion is supplied from above

the fire bed. This air supplies the oxygen necessary for the volatile gasses given

off by the wood as it is heated to combust which increases efficiency and

reduces heat being wasted up the chimney.

Running the stove with the air control open will provide oxygen for the wood to

burn on the fire bed and should be used to control the fire when lighting or

refuelling. The stove should ideally be run with the air control in the closed

position for the majority of the time in use. If the fire appears to die down too

low then opening the air control slightly for a short period can help revive it.

You may wish to fit a flue thermometer to give an indication of the flue

temperature.

Page 9

ESSE WH-S (UK) R3 210225

Flue Gas Temperatures (approximate)

Below 115oC

This is below the condensation point of wood gasses and may cause the build-

up of tar in the chimney, dirty the fire door glass and result in the inefficient

burning of fuel.

115oC –260oC

The flue gasses should be in this temperature band for the safest, most efficient

operation of your stove.

Above 260oC

Too hot. Heat will be wasted up the chimney. Excess heat may damage the stove

or ignite an existing accumulation of tar resulting in a chimney fire. In the event

of a fire, close the air control on the appliance and call the fire brigade for

assistance.

LONG TERM SHUTDOWN

If the stove is to be shut down for long periods i.e. during summer months or if

the appliance is in a second home that is not used all the time, precautions

should be taken to avoid damage from condensation and corrosion.

First ensure that the stove is fully cleaned and all ash removed. The hotplate can

then be treated with a light coating of flax oil to help prevent moisture damaging

the surface. The air control is to be left in the open position (Figure 5) and the

doors slightly ajar to allow for ventilation.

FIREWOOD AND THE WOODBURNING PROCESS

Seasoning and Storing Firewood

Wood, which has recently been cut and is still full of sap and water is known as

"green" wood.

Green wood will generally burn poorly and inefficiently, because it can have over

50% water in its cells. It may be hard to light, smoulder, not put out any heat

and cause more than the usual amount of creosote to build up in your chimney.

So your aim should be to dry the wood out to below 20% moisture content. This

process is called seasoning. As the name implies, you should store your wood

for a season or so, while it dries, but there are things you can do to speed up

seasoning by cutting the wood now rather than just before you use it.

Wood is composed of bundles of microscopic tubes that were used to transport

water from the roots of the tree to the leaves. These tubes will stay full of water

for years even after a tree is dead. This is why it is so important to have your

firewood cut to length for 6 months or more before you burn it, it gives this

water a chance to evaporate since the tube ends are finally open and the water

only has to migrate a small distance to escape. Splitting the wood helps too by

exposing more surface area to the sun and wind, but cutting the wood to shorter

lengths is of primary importance.

Here’s how you can tell whether your wood is ready or not: Well seasoned

firewood generally has darkened ends with cracks or splits visible, it is relatively

lightweight, and makes a clear "clunk" when two pieces are struck together.

Green wood on the other hand is very heavy, the ends look fresher, and it tends

to make a dull "thud" when struck.

Another thing you can do to help is store your wood properly. Store it off the

ground by building the pile on some longer logs (or whatever method you can

devise). A shed or shelter with an open side makes an ideal storage place, as the

air can circulate around the logs and help to dry them out. Unventilated spaces

or plastic tarps, which never get taken off will prevent the drying and

evaporation process and cause moulds and rot. So, if a tarp is your only option,

take it off frequently to air the wood on fine days. And remember to put it back

on again. Seasoned firewood will reabsorb large amounts of water if exposed to
