THIS STOVE MUST BE INSTALLED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF BSEN 15287-1:2007 –
DESIGN INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING OF CHIMNEYS.
WARNING NOTE:
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional
fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate
action should be taken:-
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
b) Let the fire go out.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required.
d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fumes emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.
A CO detector must be fitted in the same room as this appliance to conform to UK requirements of
installation.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
“Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a
smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed
boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use
within a smoke control area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which
generally apply in the smoke control area). The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has
powers under the Act to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England.
In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate
legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement
that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that
appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order
made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations. Further information on the
requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here : http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/Your local authority is
responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervision of smoke control areas
and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements “The Ecco Stoves 730EC2 has been
recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs with a maximum moisture
content of 20% seasoned wood logs only.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU USE YOUR ROOM HEATER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
1. INTRODUCTION
We would like to thank you for choosing our product and wish you every success and happiness with
your Ecco Wood Burning stove.
Your stove is tested to EN13240 when burning wood logs only. The Ecco Stove has been recommended
as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning dry wood logs and when a 4mm permanent gap
between the cover and main body of the secondary air cover is in place and when all air controls are
permanently fixed in position.
Please read these instructions. The installation and use of the Ecco Stove is regulated by installation
regulations specific to the country it is to be installed in (building regulations in the UK). The installer
must be aware that all local regulations, including those referring to National and European standards
need to be complied with when installing this appliance.
Not every stove can be connected to every existing chimney. Your installer must check the efficiency
and performance of the chimney to ensure its suitability for us. If the two are not compatible this can
lead to poor burning and blackening of the glass and smoke leakage from the appliance.
The local authority will be able to inform you of the type of fuel you are allowed to burn in the area the
stove is to be installed. Currently the ECCO stove is tested for wood burning but wood maybe burned in
a smokeless designated zone provided it is operated to the following instructions (see Item 12).
Additionally your installer will be able to advise you on the size of stove required for the space you have.
You will need a sufficient flow of oxygen into the room for combustion, which will require a fresh air
vent to be installed into the room where the appliance will stand.
Some of the technical information you or your installer require is included in this handbook. Our
information leaflet and a technical data table are at the rear of the Ecco Stove catalogue for your
guidance.
2. PURPOSE
Woodburning Stoves are intended as a secondary form of heating to support the existing home heating
system. Over use or over heating of the appliance may damage it therefore it should be used within its
normal parameters as outlined in this manual.

For all patents –See Addendum
The Ecco Stove is constructed primarily from a mix of Silicon Carbide, a material that has a high affinity
to absorb heat but radiate it slowly and gently, therefore permeating greater distances within the home
than conventional materials of stove construction.
The Ecco Stove has double pass contraflow flue ways prior to exit of flue gasses to exhaust, to enable
the maximum of heat to be extracted and utilised within the appliance and hence the air space within
which the appliance is situated.
Radiant heat is emitted by heat from the external surfaces and initial heat from the front glass door
panel.
4. FLUE OUTLET
Your Ecco Stove is only delivered with a top flue connection. If the installation demands, a 45 degree
elbow can be taken directly from the top of the stove and back into the chimney Brest and hence the
chimney flue. The top or rear flue pipe must include a soot door / access plate within 200mm of stoves
top for stoves flue ways and chimney flue cleaning.
The flue outlet is 150mm
The Ecco Stove must have its own dedicated flue; it cannot be shared with another appliance.
Do not connect this appliance to a chimney serving another unit.
Access must be provided for cleaning the chimney and stove /connector pipe.
5. GLASS
Glass panel provided with your stove is deemed a consumable and may need to be replaced during the
life of the stove. Consumables are not covered by the manufacturers guarantee. In the event of having
to replace the glass in the stove please note that any fixtures should not be more than hand tight. If
captive nuts are used on your stove; please take care not to over tighten them.
Do not over fill the stove as damage or breakage of the glass is normally associated with the door being
closed onto a larger log than the firebox can accommodate.
6. CLEAR GLASS OPERATION
Blackening of the door glass results from poor quality fuel (unseasoned wood) and too slow an initial
firing until the stove has reached its optimum working temperature.
Chimney draft if less than 0.06 inches water gauge will impair the stove performance and hence its
capability to keep the door glass clean. Your installer will check this for you.
The whole stove body should be a minimum of 150 to 200˚C to enable the air wash to operate
satisfactorily on the inside of the glass face. (200˚C is the optimum operating temperature).
Do not load logs with the end grain pointing toward the glass as this will result in excessive glass
blackening. Always arrange the logs flat and crossways fashion within the firebox. We cannot
guarantee that the stove glass will not blacken. However, high temperature (150˚C +) burning using the
sec

For all patents –See Addendum
The back panels (pre-drilled vermiculite or ceramic panels at the rear of the stove) are consumables and
will deteriorate in use or may be broken. The panels are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Damage can be caused by excessive firing but more usually by logs being smashed against them when
loading stove. Loading must be carried out with care.
8. ASH GRATE
The grate within your Ecco Stove is made from cast iron being a highly durable material providing a long
life; however, it is considered a consumable item and not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. The
raised block on the grate is to be fitted to the back of the stove.
Ash removal is recommended before the grate bars become flooded with ash. The grate is easily
removed by simply lifting it out through the opened glass door.
9. ROPE SEALS
Regular maintenance of the stove is in part related to rope seals. Seals between the sections are factory
fitted and may remain in place without maintenance unless the appliance is stripped and moved, at
which time all compressive seals between sections must be replaced with like for like diameter rope or
flat tape as fitted to the stove at the time of its construction.
Door/ash pit/cleaning plug and hob cleaning plug seals should be replaced when showing signs of wear
or every two years whichever comes first. Rope seals are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
10. FINISHES
On initial firing and perhaps three to five firings after the initial period, your stove will produce what
would appear to be toxic fumes and is often mistaken for smoke leaking out of the appliance. The paint
on the appliance will be “stoved” or cured by your early firings of the appliance. Do not be concerned
that this smoke (which does not smell as wood smoke does, it has a factory chemical smell association
with it).
Please ensure that the room is adequately ventilated and allow the smoke to dissipate in due course
without adding more fuel at that time.
If the paint finish should change colour and become grey or white in appearance due to mis-use or over
heating you should approach your Ecco Stove dealer who will provide you with spray aerosol paint in the
appropriate colour to make a paint repair.
The Ecco Stove is produced from a self coloured material and as such variations in colour and texture of
that material may be evident but adding to the uniqueness of the product, unless ordered as a pre-
factory painted or as ready for paint on site finish to co-ordinate with home decor.

Your Ecco Stove has three systems of air inlets for combustion, however, these have been permanently
fixed to ensure smokeless operation. Do not attempt to adjust these permanently fixed air controls.
11A. TERTIARY AIR
The aerated back plates provide tertiary air from a permanently open air inlet at the back of the stove.
This air supply has no facility for being closed and is set permanently open.
Tertiary air is introduced to put the level of the air wash / baffle to re-combust volatiles before they exit,
unburnt, into the double pass contra flow flue ways and chimney flue.
11B. PRIMARY AIR
The ash pit door is to be used to introduce initial combustion air when
the stove is started from cold or re-fuelled with its body temperature
below 150˚C on the top plate.
The ash pit door must be drawn out to 1mm for 30 seconds then shut
until the top plate has reached 150˚C to 200˚C and then closed. (see
11C.)
ashpit drawer
11C. SECCONDARY AIR (AIRWASH)
After Stoves top plate has reached 150˚C to 200˚C the preset (fixed) Secondary air (airwash) control will
continue combustion (fed from the back of the stove via the tubed baffle system).
The airwash in conjunction with the tertiary air supply will produce clean combustion and clear any the
majority of blackening on the door glass apart from a band at the top or fly ash deposits on the inner
face of the glass (when the stove reaches 175˚C or above).
It is important to note that the stoves performance is directly relative to the flue chimneys draft. The
stronger the draft the faster the stove will heat from cold and respond to the air controls.
Excessive draft will cool the stove faster when combustion is finished (draft should not be above .06
water gauge).

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 Stove 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 730EC2
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 200⁰C design
temperature –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.

c) Re-fuelling after starting
The re-loading should be of 2 further batches of 1.8kg of dry split logs at each re-fuelling (see page 18).
Smoke may escape from the top of the doors opening until the stove has thoroughly warmed to 150˚ -
200˚C when the appliance is being re-fuelled. Run for a few minutes if the stove has reached 150˚C to
ensure combustion of the new fuel has begun, where upon the stoves temperature will normally
continue to rise.
Over firing warning
Never over fill the fire box, is 1.8kg or so of split logs a typical full load. Running the stove above 200˚C
constitutes over firing the stove and after which point damage may occur to the stove.
Under firing warning
If when re-firing; re-fuelling or lighting the Ecco stove, it must be fired up to 150˚C to 200˚C for each new
wood load for proper combustion –if allowed to “tick over” below this temperature tar build up will
occur and subsequent blocking of the flue ways.
13. CATALYSER –The 730EC2is fitted with a Catalyser in the head of the stove above the tube baffle
system
To install or replace/reinstall the catalyser; prior to fitting the tube baffle system; lift the catalyser up
into place followed by the stainless support frame.
Drop the stainless steel support frame down flat and the catalyser drops into the rectangular slot of the
frame.
The catalyser can be viewed through the front left and right cleaning plugs and should be in a clean non
sooty state after any third fuel load on a warm up run.
13a. MAINTENANCE
The catalyser will need replacing after two years or so use and witnessed by a breakdown of the cream
coloured squares which will appear cracked / not clean cream after third fuel load.
The Catalyser will gather dust and needs checking / cleaning 2 monthly
Bimonthly remove the pins and lower the underside baffle; vacuum the catalytic honeycomb (catalyser)
carefully and rehinge baffle and re-pin into place.
13b. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
The tubed baffle system must be lowered by removing the steel pins fitted either side of the door frame
beneath the curved edge of the baffle system.
Remove the catalyser by pulling gently down and out of place

Fit the replacement ensuring a tight fit with the tape seals wedging it into place.
Pack the ends against the Silicon Carbide flue way sides with the wadding provided to close end gaps to
the stove body. Refit the tube baffle by fixing it over the back boards with the pins refitted to hold it up
into place (in the door frame). The stove can now be restarted as normal.
14. EXTRA CONTROLS
Excessive draft over .006 inches of water gauge may be moderated by installing a draft diverter or
damper into the flue pipe off the top of the stove and duly balanced. Speak to your retailer for advice or
fitting. The Ecco stove is equipped to accept an outside primary air facility which requires an extra tube
extension and back box for installation.
Dampers left open.
Operation with the air control or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must
not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
ASH REMOVAL
Ash removal must only be carried out when the stove is not alight as by removing the ash drawer would
overfire the appliance.
To remove ash collected in the ash drawer, simply pull out the ash drawer which may be fully extracted
for emptying.
Always re-fit the ash drawer fully after emptying and then follow the lighting/firing procedure at 12b
and 13b in this instruction manual.
15. FUELS
Wood
Wood as a fuel must be maximum 20% moisture content and split logs are nominally 300mm maximum
in length and 70mm in cross section or below for best combustion, (measured at any one point over the
width of the split log) see 25h) for explanation.
Harder, more dense logs or wood will generally burn more slowly. Timber should ideally be loaded in
wigwam fashion or flat across the width of the stoves fire box to ensure the end grain does not release
volatiles towards the glass door and hence blacken it quickly.
Under no circumstances must the Ecco stove be used as an incinerator to burn household or industrial
waste of any description –only untreated 20% or less humidity wood must be used.

Fuel Overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.
Liquid fuels must not be burned on this appliance.
16. RE-FUELLING (for smoke control areas)
Only re-fuel when the wood charge has burned down to a red glow (charcoal embers).
When the Ecco Stove has been on a minimum of 2-3 hours burning and the fuel has turned to charcoal,
re-fuelling should either be carried out with two or three split logs at each time, to ensure proper and
complete combustion, and produce minimum smoke. (Fuel loaded to be maximum 70mm cross section
and 300mm maximum length).
Ideally re-fuel on a bright fire. If the fire has burned down to sparse embers the stove may be re-fuelled
with two or three logs or a full fire box upon which the ash pit drawer should be drawn out 1mm for 30
seconds and the stove fired on that first fuel load to create initial combustion, then closed to allow clean
air controls (tertiary and air wash) to take over. (Follow initial lighting procedures).
Smoke may escape the door if re-fuelling is carried out on a bright or lively fire. Open the door to the
fire box slowly when re-fuelling to minimise smoke spillage into the room as the door will create a
vacuum drawing the smoke out of the fire box unless the flue ways are below 150˚C. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE STOVE BE OPERATED WITH THE DOOR OR AIR CONROLS LEFT OPEN OTHER
THAN AS INSTRUCTED IN THIS MANUAL APART FOR REFUELLING OTHERWISE EXCESSIVE SMOKE WILL BE
PRODUCED.
ONLY RE-FUEL WHEN THE WOOD CHARGE HAS BURNED DOWN TO A RED GLOW (CHARCOAL EMBERS).
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur.Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash
that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period.If there are too few embers in the fire bed
add suitable kindling to prevent excess smoke.
17. TAR DEPOSITS
Tar deposits will not form in the stove or on its flue ways if adequately seasoned logs (below 20%
moisture content are used) and the stove generally burned between 150˚C and 200˚C with a bright fire.
If tar deposits form in either the fire box or the flue way, the fuel being burned is not adequately
seasoned and damage will occur within the stove along with poor performance.

For all patents –See Addendum
18. FLUE CONNECTION AND FLUE LININGS
The flue outlet on the stoves top is 150mm+ and accepts a 150mm stove pipe
which must be bedded into the outlet with fire cement for a gas tight seal.
Minimum 1mm thick metal pipe). As metal expands at a difference rate to
Silicon Carbide it is necessary to have an expansion joint where the flue
connects that can be achieved with a flat glass ceramic rope tape.
The nominal flue outlet of the Ecco Stove is 150mm diameter for which a
150mm flue liner insulated around within the masonry chimney with perlite
grains or similar or insulative appropriate wrap is strongly advised, or a
suitably insulated pre-fabricated twin wall stainless steel flue system.
Any single wall pipe joints must be self tap screwed and jointed with fire
cement.
Flue’s up to 9m in height are adequate in 150mm inner diameter.
Flues over 9m in height should be 175mm in the diameter.
High temperature hot face inner linings or coatings are suitable materials but ideally with a maximum
flue area of 225 x 225mm.
Pumice hot face linings with insulation or leka pelletts are suitable.
Under no circumstances should the Ecco Stove be connected directly to clay linings within chimneys,
unless those clay liners have a hot face lining fitted within, in order to reduce condensation within the
chimney flue.
19. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Flue ways within the Ecco Stove should be cleaned two monthly in continuous combustion for which the
stove should be let out (not burning).
Cleaning access points are located on the stoves top sides (4 discs) which must be lifted horizontally to
access the vertical flue ways (2 each side).
After brushing down (and up) the deposits can be scraped or vacuumed out by removing the cleaning
plugs located on the front of the bottom section (2 discs).
The first section of flue pipe vertically off the appliances top flue outlet MUST include a flue cleaning
access within 200mm of the stoves top.
Clean down through this into the stoves top; brush along the top flue chamber beneath the flue outlet
and vacuum out that chamber by sliding the flexible brush or vac hose to left and right.
Seasonal Use. During a period when the stove will not be fired for example, during the summer
period, leave the ash pit door open, 2mm, to minimise condensation build up within the stove.
Clean the flue ways as described in the previous paragraphs (21. Cleaning and Maintenance) and
clean out both the ashtray and fire box. You may oil the outer paint surface with a light mist of
releasing oil, similar to WD40 and leave for the next heating season.
Check the rear back baffle boards and replace if cracked or broken.
Check all seals are fixed firmly in place on the door; ash pit front and cleaning plugs.

Remove and or clean above the steel gull wing baffle plate in the top of the firebox.
Ensure the chimney flue and stove pipe are swept early summer time or after stoves shut down
for the summer.
Oil the door hinges and door catch mechanism all in readiness for the new heating season.
a) Adverse flue conditions (downdraught or pressurisation) will result in poor performance; door
glass blackening and sooting in the flue ways. Such conditions must be rectified by improving
flue performance immediately. Clean any tar/deposits off the door glass.
b) Repairs or replacements must be carried out by a competent engineer.
Flueways are accessed by removing the cleaning plugs at a+ b + c + d and brushing vertically with the
flue brush provided.
Horizontal flue ways should be cleaned via the cleaning plugs at a + b + c + d and debris swept down in
to the vertical flue ways.
After cleaning vertically and horizontally the cleaning plugs at c and b should be removed and cleaned
out with a vacuum cleaner or suction hose.
Lastly remove the gull wing baffle at g and brush off –remove the 2 retaining pins in the door frames
body and drop down –turn sideways and remove through the front door. Reinstate in reverse order but
ensure the rear air box seats against the back of the stove with the back aerated bricks supporting it.
Always check the flue is clear after a prolonged period of shutdown or non use.
Vertical side flueways are cleaned through the top cleaning plugs along with the flue channels under the
head of the stove through those self-same plugs and soot / deposits should be vacuumed out through
the face lower cleaning plugs to remove the debris cleaned down. These plugs must always be re-fitted
firmly in place before lighting or whilst running the Ecco Stove. The firebox door and ash pit door should
remain closed at all times other than re-fuelling (fire box door) and ash pit door after following the
lighting and re-fuelling procedures stated in these instructions.
The grate should be de-ashed by raking through the fire box door to ensure combustion air can flow
through the grate bars (only carry out these works when the stove is not alight).
The stove is now ready for re-use after all cleaning plugs have been re-fitted.
The door glass may be cleaned free of either grey transparent fly ash deposits or tar deposits from its
inner surface with a proprietary glass cleaner available from your retailer.
20. PAINT FINISHES
Paint finishes on your Ecco Stove may produce a heavy chemical smell for a number of initial firings from
being newly painted. This is normal and will only last for a few high firings. Ventilate the room well until
the smell has cleared.

j) Co-concentration at 0.07 @ 13%O2. Excessive flue draught may remove too much heat from the
Ecco Stove on slow combustion. A damper may be fitted into the flue pipe off the stove to
reduce draught but only closed after the firing process is completed –dampers must always
allow 20% of the flue area unclosed.
24. DUCTED WARM AIR (WHEN AVAILABLE)
By fitting the hot box with one extra trim between it and the stoves top, up to
four 100mm diameter rigid pipes can be fitted off the stoves top to other rooms.
These pipes simply push into the openings in the top of the hot box.
Grilles with spigots are available separately along with rigid 100mm pipes and
100mm alloy flexible tubing (none of which are included as standard). Maximum
duct length per output is 1.5 metres. Each duct must rise constantly to its point
of emission into the adjacent room (or the same room the Ecco Stove stands in)
with a minimum angle of 45⁰ for natural convection.
The rigid pipes are used as decorative outlets rather than flexible tubing visible
directly off the top of the hot box. A steel locating plate which clamps onto the
flue pipe is available to hold the rigid duct pipes in position for appearances only.
