Assembly Instructions
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
It is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT that the installation of all new or replacement wood or solid fuel heating
appliance obtain building control approval from your local authority, or the installation work must be
carried out through a government approved competent persons scheme. A list of all competent person
schemes can be found:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/competent-person-scheme-current-schemes-and-how-schemes-are-
authorised
All local regulations, including those referring to National & European standards, need to be complied
with when installing the appliance.
This stove should not be installed into a chimney or flue system that serves other heating appliances.
Any manufacturer’s instructions must not be taken as overriding statutory requirements.
Our company will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental loss or injury however
caused.
1. 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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with
changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015.
Similarly, in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish
Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
In Wales and Northern Ireland these are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers and by the
Department of the Environment respectively.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found
here at: https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
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.
As the customary practice in the UK requires that an exempted fireplace has to be constructed or adapted
in such manner that it is impractical to operate it in a way whereby significant smoke will be emitted, for
the I500, we recommend blocking the secondary/tertiary air controller at 23.5cm. This results in a
minimum opening of 0.5 cm*.For the I700,we recommend blocking the secondary/tertiary air controller
at 31cm. This results in a minimum opening of 1 cm*.
Appliance Specification
The stove is an inset appliance made of steel and equipped with a ceramic glass door. The combustion

3. Installation Instructions
It is important that all local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards
need to be complied with when installing the appliance. Our company are not responsible for any
fault arising through incorrect installation.
3.1. Safety Advice
3.1.1. Lighting the stove
❖Open the door and ensure the secondary/air wash control lever is opened fully.
❖On first lighting, we recommend using 2 - 3 firelighters along with wood kindling built in a pyramid
above the firelighters to obtain a good fire bed. Ignite the firelighters then close the stove door and
allow the firelighters and wood kindling to ignite to the point where the embers are glowing.
❖Add your fuel of choice and periodically adjust each air control. Burn small loads initially before full
fires are used, to allow paint & fitting cement to cure.
3.1.2.1 Burning Wood
◆Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right) - Use this to control the fire when burning
wood.
◆Primary air control lever (The control to the left) –This should be closed (moved to the left) as wood
does not need air from below to burn effectively. However, this can be opened at the start to give the
stove a sudden burst of air. Once established this can be closed off.

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
◆Avoid overloading your appliance as this may cause damage to the product and cause unstable burn
conditions.
3.1.2.1 Burning Coal
◆The Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right) –This should be left partially open, to
allow the air-wash system to keep the glass clean
◆Primary air control lever (The control to the left) - When burning coal, the stove should be mainly
controlled using this lever.
◆Avoid prolonged periods of slow burning which may cause build-up of creosote with certain
fuel.Using a flue temperature gauge can help achieve the optimum temperature for clean
combustion.Ensure you use the suitable fuel for the appliance.
3.1.2. Rocommended Fuels
⚫Split and dried logs properly seasoned with less than 20% moisture content and no larger than 250mm
x 100mm.
⚫Anthracite (Medium) smokeless fuel.
⚫Eco Logs.
⚫Briquettes.
Note that only Authorised fuels can be used in a Smoke Control Area.
3.1.3. Fuel to Avoid
Use of incorrect fuels can invalidate the warranty of your appliance.
⚫Petroleum Coke
⚫Household waste
⚫Wood with a moisture content above 20%
⚫Household coal or bituminous coal
⚫Waste timber that has been painted or treated e.g. railway sleepers.
3.2. Refuelling Wood
◼Refuel when a layer of hot embers has been formed in the fire bed.
◼Spread the embers out over the fire bed using the ash-pan tool.
◼While the embers are still glowing, add 1 or 2 logs to the fire.
◼Open the right air control fully to ignite the new fuel.
◼Once new logs have ignited, adjust the right air control to give the desired combustion. If there are too
few embers, use suitable kindling prior to the fuel load to prevent excessive smoke.
3.3. Refuelling Coal
◼De-ash the fire bed.
◼Fully open the left air control and add fuel.
◼When the new fuel is fully lit adjust the left air control to give the desired combustion.
3.4. Weather Conditions
Weather conditions can affect the performance of the stove.
Strong winds combined with close buildings or trees can cause the stove to smoke.
Heavy rain may lower the temperature of the flue making it difficult to light or slow to heat up.
3.5. Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
3.6. Dampers/ controls left open
Operation with the air controls 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.
4. Operating Instructions
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in this user guide.
Operation with the air controls 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 this
user guide.
4.1. Important Information
All local regulations, including those referring to national and European Standards need to be
complied with when installing the appliance.
This appliance is not suitable for installation in a shared flue system.
The firebox and ashpit cover shall be kept closed except during ignition, refueling and removal of
residue material to prevent fume spillage. It is important to use this appliance correctly to achieve best
results.
4.2. Air Controls
Warning! Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces will be hot when in operation and due
care need to be taken e.g. Protective gloves should be given in operation.
It is essential for the appliance to have sufficient air supply for combustion and ventilation.
4.2.1. Primary Air
Primary air is controlled through the assembly on the bottom of the door. This provides a conventional air
draught which passes through the fuel bed. The primary air intakes can be adjusted to control the fire in
combustion chamber.
4.2.2. Secondary Air
The appliance is fitted with an air wash system which can keep the heat-resistant glass of the
fire door clean. This secondary air is controlled through the fittings on the bottom of the stove.
4.3. Grate
The grate is a rotatory design. If you are burning wood you can allow the ash to build up on the grate.
However, if smokeless coal is being burnt you should ensure the grate is riddled so primary air can
flow up from underneath.
4.4. Ash pan
It is essential that you clean up the ash pan regularly. Use the supplied tool to lift the ash pan out of the
stove.
4.5. Burning Mineral Smokeless (Solid Fuel)
DO NOT have more than a 30-degree incline of the fuel bed from front to back, when you put solid
mineral fuels on the fuel bed. The height of loading fuels must not exceed the rear cast iron lining.
The refueling intervals at nominal heat output will be approximately every 4 hours. We suggest you

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
refuel in time to get the best possible results. When using solid mineral fuels, we suggest you keep the
secondary air control in the closed position, so it can burn at maximum efficiency. At this time the
primary air controls can adjust the burn rate of the appliance.
In order to prevent the ash from being stacked to the underside of the bottom grate, please always de-
ash before refueling. Once the ash builds up, it is possible that it will restrict the airflow and cause
the fire to die.
Important! It is very important to empty the ashpan regularly. In case the ash builds up the underside of
the grate, burnout or distortion of the grate may be caused.
4.6. Burning Wood
The refueling intervals at nominal heat output will be approximately 1.5 hours. You may load wood
higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel, but wood or logs are not permitted to touch the baffle plate.
Wood burns most efficiently with the primary air controls closed and the secondary control partially open.
Moving the secondary control will control the burn rate of the stove.
Wood burns best with a layer of ash on the fuel bed, and care should be taken to only remove surplus
residue from the stove timely.
We recommend you only use dry, seasoned wood as fuels; the wood should have been cut, split and
stacked for at least one year in a circulating air surround to dry out. Otherwise, wet or unseasoned wood
will cause tar deposits in the stove and unsatisfactory heat output will occur.
We recommend the use of wood logs with a moisture content of less than 20% for stoves.
Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create excess smoke emissions, tar deposits in the stove and
chimney and will not produce a satisfactory heat output. Wood fuel purchased from an approved source
may still require some drying out to remove surface water before use.
4.7. Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refueling 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 excessive smoke.
4.8. Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this user guide should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke. We suggest that you refuel every 45 minutes to 1 hour, dependent on fuel.
The recommended maximum dimensions of wood logs are as specified below:
Model
Maximum Length - mm
Maximum Diameter - mm

stove is suitable for use with wood, coal and solid fuels. Note that the inset stove has been recommended
for use in Smoke Control Area when burning wood logs. The inset stoves can be used in Smoke Control
Areas when burning authorized solid fuels. A list of authorized fuels is available online:
http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php
4.9. Shutting Down
Firstly, close the primary air controls;
Secondly, close the secondary air controls;
The fire will now slowly die down as the oxygen flowing into the stove is decreased. Please note that this
is a Defra model and does have a metal stop in place to prevent full closure of the vents!
If reviving the fire, the primary air controls are recommended to be opened first, followed by
opening the secondary air controls.

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
Warning! The stove will remain HOT after the fire has been extinguished.
4.10. Safety Notes for your guidance
This appliance is NOT suitable for use in a shared flue.
This appliance should NEVER be operated with the doors open.
NEVER clean the glass when the stove is hot. ALWAYS use stove glass cleaner, which is available
from DIY and stove retailers, only when the stove is cool.
DO NOT use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
DO NOT use liquid fuels in this appliance.
NEVER leave the stove unattended for long periods without first adjusting the controls to a safe
setting –careful air supply control should be exercised at all times.
DO NOT modify the appliance as it could result in damage to the appliance or injury to users.
IMPORTANT –DO NOT fit an extractor fan in the same room as this appliance.
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS –Always use a fireguard standard BS 8423:2002 in the presence of
children, the elderly or the infirm.
It is essential that the fire has adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. Apertures provided
for this purpose shall not be restricted.
DO NOT OVERFIRE –it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this could damage the
stove, so watch for signs of overfiring –if any part of the stove starts to glow red, the fire is in an
overfire situation and the controls should be adjusted to immediately prevent the overfiring.
WARNING –FUME EMISSION
Properly installed and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing
and refueling may occur. Persistent fume emission must be stopped.
If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
⚫Open doors and windows to ventilate room
⚫Put the fire out, or safely dispose of the fuel from the appliance.
⚫Check for flue chimney blockage and clean it if required.
⚫Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified andcorrected.
⚫If necessary, seek professional assistance.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
Raise the alarm to let others in the house
know. Call the Fire Brigade
Close all air controls.
Place a fireguard or spark guard in front of the
stove. Feel the chimney breast for sign of excessive
heat.
Move furniture and rugs away from the fireplace and remove any nearby ornaments.
DO NOT endanger yourself or any other person, so if necessary, leave the house immediately after calling
the Fire Brigade.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Stove body
Use a soft brush to clean the stove; cleaning must ALWAYS be done after it has cooled down. The
finish can be renewed with proprietary stove paint.

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
5.2. Baffle plate
Remove and clean the baffle plate once a month to avoid soot or fly ash.
Block the flue ways and produce dangerous fume emission.
5.3. Fireproof glass
Use a proprietary glass cleaner to clean the glass when cool. Any material that may damage the glass
should not be used to clean the panel. Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy
slamming of the doors could crack the glass panels and care should be taken.
5.4. Ceramic rope
Ceramic or fiber glass rope is used on the stoves. Inspect the rope around the door and glass. If rope is
becoming detached, use a proprietary rope glue to reattach it. Ensure you replace the rope in the case
of it being in poor condition.
5.5. Flue & Chimney
Keep the chimney, flue way and any connection flue pipe swept regularly.
For users of smokeless fuels, sweep at least once a year; for wood and other fuels, at least twice a year.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one month after
installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion
between the stove and an open fire.
6. Trouble Shooting
6.1. Unable to light fire. Struggling fire
Please check the following
measures:
•A proper fuel is being used.
•The air inlet is unobstructed.
•Chimneys and flue ways are
clear and the chimney has the
required 12Pa draw.
•Sufficient air supply in the
room. A lack of free air will
cause the stove to burn
slowly.
•No extractor fan is working in
the same room as the stove.
6.2. Fire blazing out of control
Please check:
•A suitable fuel is being
used.
•The doors are tightly

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
closed with the rope
making a good seal
•The air controls are all
in the closed position.
•The primary air control
flap is not wedged in the
open position. The glass
retaining clips are not
loose.
•The door rope seals are in good condition.

Guarantee
The main body of your stove is guaranteed for 5 years.
Incorrect use or installation not carried out by a registered HETAS installer will void the guarantee. The
only exceptions will be if the install has been signed off by your local authority or suitably qualified
Oftec installer. In addition to this the stove must be serviced annually by a suitably accredited chimney
sweep or stove installer. For example, HETAS / METAC / NACS. In this service any perishable parts
that are damaged will need replacing.
Notes:
If a fire brick is only split but is still fully protecting the shell, then it does not always need replacing in
the service. They only need replacing when they have crumbled away, exposing the stove’s shell.
If the seal is leaking air into the fire this does need changing right away. Any excess air could cause the
burner to over fire. In some cases, the rope is fine, and the handle simply needs adjusting to make the
door lock a little tighter.
If the glass is not split and is only crazed, then it does not need replacing to keep in line with the
guarantee terms.
Please keep a record of all services as this will be required if a claim is ever put forward.
As a company we will only ever be responsible for the product itself and would not cover installation /
de-installation of any product that did have to replaced.
The guarantee period will begin when the stove has been invoiced. Please keep hold of your invoice as

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
this will be requested if a claim is started. If this is not provided upon request, we will not be able to
escalate your claim. The guarantee will begin from the sale date on the invoice and we do not cover any
cost incurred when removing faulty appliances or installing new ones, even if it has been proven that the
stove is faulty. For full guarantee details please visit www.ecosystoves.co.uk. With every claim we will
require a signed copy of the sign-off sheet.
BROKEN FIRE BRICKS
It is common for vermiculite bricks to break. They are fully heat resistant but can be quite fragile.
The most common bricks to break are the base and back bricks as these take the brunt of abuse. To
ensure the longevity of your fire bricks, please ensure that you gently place fuel in the fire and do not
over stack fuel. We would also suggest leaving a small bed of ash in the fire at all times. This helps the
wood burn more efficiently and also acts a cushion between the log and the brick itself. If a brick is split
it will not need replacing and this could potentially happen at any point. We only suggest changing
bricks when they have crumbled away, exposing the stove’s body.
BROKEN / CRAZED GLASS
The glass used in all fires is fully approved heat resistant ceramic glass. This glass will not break through heat
but can easily break if struck with a log or similarly hard object. This is why the glass is not covered by any
manufacturer of stoves. Common causes for glass breakages are customers closing the door when a log is still
sticking out. Glass will not always break straight away and can be chipped or weakened. It will then often
break at a different time with seemingly no contact. When replacing glass, ensure you only pinch up the glass
clips. If they are over-tightened it could cause the glass to break.
Cloudy, 'milky' or crazed glass is caused by unburned acidic condensates etching the ceramic glass and
unfortunately this cannot be easily removed. It is definitely not faulty glass, but may have more to do with the
quality of the fuel that you burn and the way that you operate your stove (long slumbering). This is less
common on wood-only models as it is often caused by the high sulfur content in some coals. It is, however,

Ecosy+ Stoves of Hampshire
www.ecosystoves.co.uk
possible. If your glass is crazed it does not need changing and is safe to use.
