AERATED BACK PLATES (Panels)
The back panels (pre drilled panels at the rear of the stove) are consumables and will
deteriorate in use. The panels are
not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Damage to
the back panels can be caused by over firing but more typically by logs being smashed
against them when refuelling the stove.
Load the stove with care
.
8.
ASH GRATE
The cast iron grate within your Ecco Stove 580EC2 is highly durable but will be damaged if
ash is allowed to build up in the grate bars. Ash build up will also impair the stoves primary
combustion as the air flow will be choked.
Riddle the grate by hand upon relighting, retaining only charcoal for re starting the fire.
For removal, the grate can be lifted out through the door when opened.
The raised section of the grate is the top back with its purpose being to hold the back panels
(see 7) in place.
9.
ROPE SEALS
Rope seals will deteriorate. When worn or flattened such that they do not make a
satisfactory seal, replace the rope seal with 8mm ceramic rope but ensure the indent within
the rope groove is well cleaned/scrapped and degreased before fitting new seals.
Compressive seals between the Silicon Carbide sections do not need replacement unless the
stove is stripped and moved, then 8mm rope and 25mm ladder back self- adhesive tape
must be used.
Door ropes should be replaced with 8mm rope and ash pit seal should be replaced with
10mm flat tape adhered with rope adhesive (when showing signs of wear or after 2 years,
whichever comes first).
Rop
e seals are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.

FINISHES
The Ecco Stove 580EC2 is produced from a self-coloured material and as such, variations in
colour and texture of the material will be evident, but adding to the uniqueness of the
product, unless ordered as pre factory painted.
Initially and for the following 3 to 5 firings your stove will produce what appears to be toxic
fumes and is often mistaken for smoke leaking out of the appliance.
Typically this smoke has a “factory” type smell and
is generally not wood smoke, simply the
paint curing on the stoves outer surfaces.
