These instructions give a guide for the installation of the appliance but in no way
absolve the installer from responsibilities to conform to AS/NZS Standards, in
particular AS/NZS 2918:2018, relating to the installation of solid fuel appliances. All
local regulations including those referring to national standards need to be complied
with, when installing this appliance.
Any adjacent combustible material should be far enough away from the appliance so
as not to raise 60ºC above the room temperature when the appliance is in operation.
If necessary, any adjoining walls should be protected from the effects of heat.
Clearances from combustible materials are:
Rear clearance of 175mm with heat shield
Side Clearance of 20mm below the hob/100mm above the hob
It is also recommended that a smoke alarm and appropriate fire safety equipment
such as a fire extinguisher and fire blanket are installed in the kitchen as a safety
precaution and also a carbon monoxide detector.
An adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation is required. A purpose
provided air vent is necessary. Air openings provided for this purpose must not be
restricted.
This appliance must be correctly installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions by a suitably qualified person.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage to persons or items due to poor or
incorrect installation of this appliance.
Make sure that the voltage and frequency of the mains supply correspond to the
details on the cooker data plate which is located behind the control panel.
Maintenance and servicing work must only be carried out after the power supply has
been disconnected by switching off at the socket and unplugging the cooker.
Due to our policy of continuous innovation, we reserve the right to adjust or modify
our product without prior notification.
Do not let children near the oven during use to avoid the danger of burns or injury.
Use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm should be supervised.

The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during
use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating
elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept
away unless continuously supervised.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play
with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire, NEVER try to extinguish
a fire with water, instead switch off the appliance, cover
the flame with a lid or use a fire blanket.
Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the
hob surface since they can get hot.
Any spillages on the heat conserving bolster lid should be removed from the lid
before opening.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean any part of this appliance.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control.
This appliance can slip if placed on a raised platform.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
During cooking, food naturally produces steam, which is vented away to prevent
excessive build-up within the ovens. As steam can condense to water droplets on
the cooler outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe away
any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and
discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

CHIMNEY AND FLUE INFORMATION
The successful operation of the cooking appliance relies on the adequate
performance of the chimney to which it is connected. The following chimney
guidelines must be followed:
•If a flue liner is used, it should be 150mm (6’’) diameter and be made of
suitable material for burning wood. A Flue with a diameter of 150mm (6’’),
is required to connect to the cooker.
•Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue
draught. The appliance flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the
chimney.
•The flue needs to be a minimum of 4.6m in height and terminate in
accordance with AS/NZS2918
•If the appliance is installed as a freestanding appliance, it should not
support any part of the chimney.
•Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids, and obstructions.
•Be connected to this one appliance only.
•New chimneys must be in accordance with local regulations.
•The chimney must be capped to prevent ingress of rain.
•A flue/chimney access point is required so that the state of the chimney
can be checked and any fallen soot removed.
•External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
•Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
Note: The chimney/flue to which this appliance is being connected must be swept
and examined for soundness prior to installation. Remedial action should be taken if
required, seeking expert advice if necessary. Where the chimney is believed to have
served an open fire installation it is possible that a higher flue gas temperature from
a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were firmly adhered, with the
consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be
swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.

FLUE DRAUGHT
The flue draught should be checked before installation to ensure that the flue is free
of obstructions.
After installation two flue draught readings should be taken and recorded in these
instructions, one with the appliance at minimum burning rate and one at maximum
burning rate.
Minimum reading: The appliance should be lit and allowed to warm the flue
thoroughly. Close the air controls, and ensure firebox door is fully closed. Allow the
burning rate to become steady. The flue draught reading should now be taken; the
minimum required is 12 Pascals [Pa] (0.05’’ w.g.).
Maximum reading: The air controls can now be opened to allow the appliance to
burn at maximum rate. Take a flue draught reading.
Ideally, the flue draught readings should range between 12Pa, 0.12mm (0.05’’ w.g.)
and 24Pa, 2.5mm (0.1’’ w.g.). Any readings significantly outside this range may
indicate the need for remedial action. Low flue draught symptoms: difficult to light
and smoke coming into the room. High flue draught symptoms: fuel burns away very
quickly, over firing which may damage the appliance & invalidate the warranty.
A flue stabiliser can be fitted to reduce the draught through the appliance if the
draught is too high. The flue stabiliser should be fitted in the same room as the
appliance and be the same size as the flue pipe. Consult building regulations
regarding additional ventilation.
UNPACKING YOUR NEW COOKER.
Unpack your new Esse Cooker, removing all of the outer packing and accessories
from the top and bottom ovens, including protective film on the door liners. At this
time please examine the cooker for any damage to the enamel finish.
Any damage to the cooker or anything missing, please contact your supplier for
advice.
We ask that you dispose of any packaging in a safe responsible manner and recycle
where possible.

diameter.
(The flue connection is on the top of the appliance, in the centre at the back.)
Important Notes
•The installation must allow access for adequate chimney sweeping and flue
cleaning.
•Avoid using bends greater than 45º to the vertical. All flue pipe sections
should be as close to the vertical as possible.
•All joints in the flue system must be effectively sealed.
