4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THE DOORS
The four cast iron doors are opened by lifting the chrome catch upwards, then swinging the door
forwards.Take care not to allow the door to swing open freely and clash with adjacent cabinets /
surfaces.
To close the doors, carefully but firmly push the door back into position, until the door catch
engages and holds the door shut.
Adjusting the door
catches
Over time, the door catches may need adjusting. This is typically a result of
the rope seals flattening, (and the doors becoming a little loose), or the cast
iron doors expanding naturally over time, (and becoming a little tight).
To adjust a door catch…
STEP 1
STEP 2
Open the door to be adjusted.
Using a 2mm Allen key, loosen the grub
screw on the underside of the handle, by
turning anti-clockwise.
STEP 3
STEP 4
Using a Philips head screwdriver, rotate the
screw head visible from the end of the
catch…
• Clockwise
Tighten the catch
• Anticlockwise
Loosen the catch
Re-tighten the 2mm grub screw, before
closing the door and reviewing whether it
now feels right. Repeat the process if
required.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SLUMBER
ESSE heat storage range cookers are designed to be permanently left on, ensuring the cooker is
ready to provide the unique surround heat for perfect cooking and baking.
However, when not in use, we recommend setting each cooking area to ‘slumber’, which will allow
the cooker to heat up to cooking temperature more quickly, whilst managing power consumption
and running costs. Keeping your ESSE in slumber will also allow you to enjoy all the benefits which
an ambient heat source brings.
THE CONTROLS
The top oven, bottom oven, grill, hotplate and induction hob are controlled by simply rotating the
appropriate dial. When the dial is rotated clockwise, the relevant indicator light will switch on, to
indicate that it is in use.
The controls are located behind the top left door.

THE CLOCK AND TIMER
The clock and timer allows for the temperatures of the top oven, bottom oven and cast iron
hotplateto either be adjusted manually, or to rise from slumber to any pre-selected temperature,
at a chosen time of day.

Setting the clock
To set the clock…
1. Push and hold down the ‘Clock Set’ button (1), and rotate the
‘Control Dial’ (5) until the correct time is reached.
2. Release the ‘Clock Set’ button.
Your ESSE is factory set for the temperature of the hotplate and two main ovens to be controlled
manually, using the four temperature control dials hidden behind the top left door. When the
Manual Operation LED (7) glows orange, your ESSE is set to ‘Manual Control’.
However, using the timer, it is possible to programme the hotplate and two main ovens to heat up
from slumber, to any desired temperature and then back down to slumber, at a selected time of
day. For example, you could programme the top right oven to heat up from slumber to 180°C at
6.30pm, then back down to slumber at 8.30pm. This means that you do not have to remember to
manually raise the oven temperature, in advance of cooking in it.
NOTE: The timer incorporates a light sensor, (8), which reduces the brightness of the LCD time
display when there is low light, (ie, when the door is closed), so as to reduce power consumption
and prolong the lifetime of the timer.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using the timer
By programing the timer, the hotplate and two main ovens are automatically
placed into slumber, (unless the individual temperature control dial is set to
0°C), which both provides a gentle background heat to the room, and
reduces the heat up time of the hotplate / oven(s). Your ESSE will then
automatically increase the temperature of the hotplate / oven(s), to the
desired temperature, at the desired time of day.
To programme the timer…
1. Set the hotplate / oven(s) to the desired temperature, using the
temperature control dials.
2. Set the hotplate / oven(s) desired ‘On’ time…
Push and hold down the ‘On Time’ button (2).
Rotate the ‘Control Dial’ (5) until the desired time is
reached*.
Release the ‘On Time’ button (2), to store the time.
3. Set the hotplate / oven(s) off time…
Push and hold down the ‘Off Time’ button (3).
Rotate the ‘Control Dial’ (5) until the desired time is reached.
Release the ‘Off Time’ button (3), to store the time.
4. Store the program…
Push and hold down both the ‘On Time’ (2) and ‘Off Time’ (3)
buttons simultaneously.
The screen will flash ‘OFF’, to show that manual operation
has been switched off, and that a timer program is active.
The four red LEDs will bounce on / off along the line of the
temperature control dials, and the ‘Manual Operation LED’
(7) will turn off, to indicate that the hotplate / oven(s) are in
slumber, within a heat up timer program.
When the selected ‘off’ time is reached, the orange ‘Manual Operation LED’
(7) will turn off and the hotplate / oven(s) will start cooling back down to
slumber.
* Remember to factor in at least 30 minutes to your ‘On Time’ for the hotplate / oven(s)
to heat up from slumber, before the time you want to start cooking.
You may want to temporarily override the heat up timer, either to manually move the hotplate /
oven(s) from slumber to a cooking temperature, (before the ‘On Time’ time is reached), or to cool
them from the set temperature, back down to slumber, (before the ‘Off Time’ time is reached).
Overriding the timer
to manually heat up
from slumber
To manually increase the temperature from slumber, whilst the timer is
programmed…
1. Set the hotplate / oven(s) to the desired temperature, using the
temperature control dials.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Push and hold down both the ‘On Time’ (2) and ‘Off Time’ (3)
buttons simultaneously.
3. The screen will flash ‘ON’, to show that manual operation has
been activated.
4. The hotplate / oven(s) respective LEDs will turn red and the
orange ‘Manual Operation LED’ (7) will turn on, to indicate that
they have started heating up to the set temperature.
The hotplate / oven(s) will remain at the set temperature until the pre-
programmed ‘Off Time’ time is reached, at which point they will start
cooling back down to slumber, as indicated by the four red LEDs bouncing on
/ off along the line of the temperature control dials, and the orange ‘Manual
Operation LED’ (7) turning off.
Overriding the timer
to manually cool
down to slumber
Tomanually return to slumber, whilst the timer is programmed and the
hotplate / oven(s) are on…
1. Push and hold down both the ‘On Time’ (2) and ‘Off Time’ (3)
buttons simultaneously.
2. The screen will flash ‘OFF’, to show that manual operation
remains off.
3. The hotplate / oven(s) will start cooling back down to slumber, as
indicated by the four red LEDs bouncing on / off along the line of
the temperature control dials.
The hotplate / oven(s) will remain in slumber until the pre-programmed ‘On
Time’ time is reached, at which point they will once again start heating up to
the temperature set on the temperature control dials.
Deactivating the
heat up timer
(returning to
manual operation)
To cancel the timer programming and return to manual operation, simply re-
programme the timer module, with the ‘On Time’ and ‘Off Time’ times set to
the same time, eg, 12.00 for both.

Push and hold down the ‘Time On’ button (2).
Rotate the ‘Control Dial’ (5) until 12.00 is reached.
Release the ‘Time On’ button, to store the time.
2. Set the hotplate / oven(s) off time to the same notional time, ie,
12.00.
Push and hold down the ‘Time Off’ button (3).
Rotate the ‘Control Dial’ (5) until 12.00 is reached.
Release the ‘Time Off’ button, to store the time.
