Getting Started
Welcome
an incinerator and never burn any liquid fuels other than
bioethanol, and only then when the appliance is fully setup
for bioethanol burning using the specic Ekol bioethanol
adaptation kit.
5) All surfaces will become hot during use. Ensure that
children, the elderly or other vulnerable people are kept
safe by using a suitable reguard.
6) Take note of the minimum distance to combustible
items within the ‘Distances to Combustibles’ section of this
manual, and in addition, avoid placing TVs, photographs
etc on the wall above the stove or anywhere close by.
Never allow combustible items or furnishings to be
positioned within 1m from the front of the appliance.
7) Do not store any fuel on or near the appliance.
8) NOT suitable for use in a shared ue system.
9) Your stove will require a constant air supply - Extractor
fans and cooker hoods should never be located in the
same room as the appliance as this will disturb air supply
to the stove potentially causing harmful gases to be emitted
into the room.
10) Never make unauthorised changes to the appliance.
11) Chimney / ue system should be swept at least once
a year, and more frequently depending on usage and soot
build up, as advised by your qualied chimney sweep.
12) This appliance is designed to be used with the door
shut, with exception of start up procedure when burning
wood, and when burning bioethanol the door should be
slightly ajar (see more detailed user instructions).
13) Upon rst few uses the stove may produce an
unpleasant odour due to the paint curing process. Open a
window in the room if this occurs.
14) Your stove will be heavy and will require between 2 and
4 people to lift. Lifting or trolley equipment may be required
dependent upon the body options chosen and the chosen
stove location. A 2-wheeled ‘sack’ trolley is normally ideal.
15) Unpacking: Do not drag the stove to its location,
instead it should be carefully lifted into place. Do not use
sharp blades to cut through packaging material as the
stove paint surface and other components may become
damaged. Incidental scratches to paint surfaces on the
stove from moving or installation can be touched up using
suitable high temperature stove paint.
NEVER USE THE STOVE OR SPACE AROUND THE
STOVE TO ATTEMPT TO DRY CLOTHES! - This is a
common cause of house res.
Thank you for choosing the ApplePie by Ekol.
We are condent that your new stove will provide many
years of pleasure and reliable service.
The main purpose of this manual is to guide you in the use
and maintenance so that you can get the best out of your
home-re experience.
All stoves will vary and we recommend that even those
experienced in the use of wood-stoves read this manual
thoroughly in order to fully understand the workings of the
Ekol ApplePie.
This manual will also provide installation guidelines
however this is not a step by step installation manual as
each installation will be dependent upon local and national
Building Regulations and safety standards which must be
adhered to in addition to any information given here.
The ApplePie stove has been designed specically for
small spaces, and non-conventional structures including
tents, yurts, timber cabins, glamping pods, as well as small
spaces in domestic replaces or freestanding in any room.
It is fully tested for UK and European standards, including
CE, BS EN, DEFRA and EcoDesign standards.
NB. Safety is the most important consideration when
installing and using your stove. If not installed correctly
or used incorrectly a building re or carbon monoxide
poisoning can result.
1) All users of this appliance should fully read and ensure
they understand the ‘User Instructions’ section of this
manual.
2) The appliance must be tted by a registered installer
who is ofcially deemed competent to undertake the
installation, or approved by your local Building Control
department.
3) All local, national and European Standards and
regulations need to be adhered to when installing.
4) Only seasoned, dry logs of between 10% and 20%
moisture are to be burnt (unless you have purchased the
Bioethanol kit). Fuels must never be mixed. Never use as
Safety & General Points

CAUTION HOT! Always use the glove provided to con-
trol hot handles when in use.
Your ApplePie stove uses a single lever to control the
burning process, however this lever balances the air supply
from three different air systems within the stove.
Figure 1.1 shows this control located under the door. The
control works by varying the amount of air which can enter
the re box. The more air that can enter the rebox the
faster the fuel will burn.
The single vent control controls three types of air
introduction into the rebox:
1) The Primary air is introduced via a few small holes
which are visible on the back wall of the stove, just above
the height of the ashpan/burn tray. This air is useful for
starting the re, when reloading new logs and in the case
of a weaker chimney draught. The Primary air is introduced
into the rebox when the control lever is in the ‘BOOST’
position, and a few degrees to the left and right of this
‘BOOST’ position. At all other positions of the lever arm,
the Primary air is closed. When the chimney draught is
sufcient and the re is established, the control lever
should be moved away from the ‘BOOST’ position.
2) The ‘Secondary’ air system allows air to enter the re
box through a channel plate at the top of the stove window.
This air then ushes down the inside of the glass, keeping
a blanket of air between the glass and the re, therefore
helping to keep the glass clean.
Some of this air also reaches down to the bottom of the
rebed, providing fresh air to enable the wood to burn.
Controls for wood-burning
User Instructions The Secondary air is at maximum position when the lever
is between the ‘BOOST’ position and when pushed fully to
the right.
It is at its lowest setting when the lever is pushed fully to
the left.
3) The ‘Tertiary air’ enters the rebox via a series of
horizontal holes which can be seen as you look into the
stove above the rear wall.
These inlets allow fresh air to reach the upper parts of the
rebox, allowing rising smoke and gases to re-ignite, and
burn thoroughly and cleanly before escaping out into the
ue.
The tertiary air is at maximum position when the lever is
between the ‘BOOST’ position and when pushed fully to
the right.
It is at its lowest setting when the lever is pushed fully to
the left.
(To comply with the Clean Air Regulations and to ensure
efcient, clean burning, the control lever is set to always
allow a minimum ow of Secondary and Tertiary air so that
the rebox cannot be starved of fresh air.)
Your ApplePie stove is tted with a stainless steel handle
for operation of the door. In addition your stove is supplied
with a separate hardwood version - you should decide
which you prefer. The metal handle will got hot during use
and should be operated using the heat resistant glove
provided. Each handle type simply unscrews from the
upper handle mechanism. Once chosen, the handle is
designed to remain in place ie. it is NOT designed to be a
regularly removable handle. See Figure 1.2
