12. FIRING THE STOVE
Do not over fire the stove for its initial firing within its first twenty four hours run period to ensure
damage does not occur within the castings.
*Run the stove at 100˚C maximum for the first
2 hours of its new life to prevent damage to the Silicon
Carbide parts.
Initial firing From new the Ecco Stov
e should be fired gently to a maximum of 100⁰C
on the stoves top
for the first 2 hours of running, then allow to cool naturally before refiring.
On initial firing and when or if the stove has been unfired for a period in a cold or damp room or
airspace, the bottom cleaning plugs may leak water (condensates), this will soon clear when the stove
flue ways and body begin to warm up.
If smoke leakage from the stove occurs, immediately heat the stoves flue ways through the front bottom
bungs with a hot air gun to warm them to assist natural convection through the stove.
a)
Initial Firing model 730EC

See note * above
The stove should be fired with 3 loads of 1.8kg+ (batches) of wood for total 5.4kg.
The stove may be started with a firelighter or paper twists and kindling.
Start with .5kg kindling.
After kindling has begun thorough combustion (about 5 minutes), the stove should be loaded with 2
small split logs 70mm diameter to 300mm long stacked in the fire box (see page 18) , approximately
1.5kg. The primary air ash pit front should be pulled out 1mm maximum for 30 seconds to bring flames
into view then closed. The next 1.5kgs of wood can now be added in the same way. This next batch
load should be fired with the ash pit open 1mm for 30 seconds until the fuel is in all around flame
whereupon the ash pit may be closed if stoves temperatures continue to rise to working
“
best
”
temperature where upon add the remainder of the first 5.4 kg batch of wood.
The ash pit drawer should be closed until the stove reaches its maximum
150˚ to 200⁰

–
after which the ash pit drawer is only used to boost ignition after each refuelling for 30
seconds @ 1mm open at any one refuelling time (until the new log load is wrapped in flame).
b)
Subsequent Firing
Re-starting the stove after its initial firing should be carried out with the
ash pit cleared out and pulled out maximum 1mm.
This will rapidly warm up the body and flue ways.
A lively fire will be seen which is ideal. Run at this rate for the first load
of fuel.
