02. OPERATION
The EasyStove allows the simple and safe integration of a solid fuel stove into a conventional central heating
system, allowing the automatic use of heat from the stove when it is available.
The stove circuit is normally an open circuit operating at atmospheric pressure while a modern central heating
system may be a sealed system operating at a higher pressure. The EasyStove RC provides hydraulic separa-
tion between these circuits via a plate heat exchanger and works equally well in both open and sealed systems.
The EasyStove operates automatically, supplying heat to the heating system when the stove is in operation.
The central heating system is fed with hot water from the gas/oil boiler until the solid fuel boiler has reached a
suitable operating temperature. When this temperature is reached, the stove supplies heat to the central heating
system. If heat is no longer available from the stove, then the stove circuit is switched off.
The recommended method of detecting that the stove is in operation is by using a suitable flue thermostat. A
flue thermostat is supplied with the EasyStove.
WARNING
Carefully read the instructions contained in the manual as they provide important information re-
garding safe installation and maintenance. The installation and maintenance must be performed in
accordance with current standards and according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In the case of failure or malfunction of the appliance, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Please contact RVR
Energy Technology Ltd by email at info@rvr.ie.
Repairs must be only be carried out by a qualified technicians. Failure to comply with these requirements can
compromise the safety of the device.
