Getting Started Welcome Thankyou for choosing the Ekol Adept. We are confident 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-fire 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 Adept.
User Instructions Controls for wood-burning stove above the rear fire bricks. These inlets allow fresh air to reach the upper parts of the firebox, allowing rising smoke and gases to re-ignite, and burn thoroughly and cleanly before escaping out into the flue. To increase the flow of this air, pull the lever (on the left side as you look at the stove) towards you. To decrease this flow of air, push the lever back inwards.
How does heat come out? There are three ways in which the heat generated in your Adept stove will come into the room. 1) Radiant heat comes through the large window, and heats objects in the room 2) Some radiant heat also comes from the body of the stove, though due to the stove’s dual-layer construction, this heat is less intense and more uniform compared to single layer type stove. Place 4 or 5 pieces of good quality solid chemical firelighter on the base of the stove.
proceed to step 10), otherwise build another stack of kindling sticks on top. 10) Have ready 3 or 4 pieces of seasoned dry hardwood logs (10 to 20% moisture content), weighing a total of not more than 1.2kgs (figure 1.5 shows three logs weighing a total of 1.2kgs). Load the logs carefully on to the hot ember fuel bed one at a time and push them down to make contact with the ember bed. (logs over 80mm diameter or heavier than 500 grams should be split down into smaller pieces). Figure 1.
powerfully than cold chimneys. 23) When used as a wood-burner, never be tempted to use liquid fuels. Never use any fuel other than dry solid wood kindling or dry-seasoned logs. We do NOT recommend the use of kiln-dried logs as a primary fuel source. This is becasue kiln dried wood can burn too quickly and is more likely to produce smoke. IMPORTANT: Refuelling on to a low fire bed: If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur.
Using the Bioethanol Burner Figure 2.2 1) Ensure you have read and understood the ‘Safety & Important Points’ opposite. 2) Position the burner system and its component parts into the Adept stove and ensure it is sitting level - each leg support of the tray outer has a height adjustment foot. See Figure ‘2.0’ for parts and Figure ‘2.1’ for assembled illustration. Figure 2.0 6) Allow 20 seconds for the fuel to be absorbed by the ceramic wick material within the combustion block (1.
MAINTENANCE At least Annually..... 1) A minimum of once per year the flue system should be cleaned/swept by a qualified chimney sweep or suitably qualified stove installer. The servicing of the appliance can usually be carried out at the same time. Whether the system needs sweeping more frequently than this will depend on use.
The Clean Air Act 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.
Installation Instructions As every installation is unique, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide to cover the entire installation. This guide will help identify the key points to observe when fitting the Ekol Adept stove. All installations need to be carried out in compliance with local and national Building Regulations by a Competent Person.
Pre Install Checks 1) Check that the door handle mechanism locks the door securely. 2) Check the smooth operation of the two vent controls - If there is friction or a non-smooth movement or jamming, it is possible there is residue from steel shot blasting in the vent mechanism. - In this case, carefully lie the stove on its back to enable access to the underneath of the stove. Firstly remove the 4x spring loaded screws which hold each vent control slider to the underside of the stove. (figure 3.2) Figure 3.
Connecting ‘Classic’ legs When using the Adept with the standard ‘Classic’ legs, each leg simply bolts into place. the ducting should be inserted into the connector on the back of the stove: (figure 3.4) Figure 3.4 1) Carefully lower the stove onto its back 2) Offer up each leg in turn using a bolt, nut and washer as in Figure 3.3. 3) Screw the bolt by hand into the corresponding hole on the underside of the stove 4 or 5 turns. 4) Then tighten the nut against the washer to tighten the leg to the stove.
outside wall. The ducting can be secured to this cowling with the built-in clips and self-tapping or ‘tek’ screws. It is crucial that rainwater or any excess moisture must NOT be allowed to enter the ducting/stove air system. 5) Ensure that the ducting is not damaged nor overly kinked along its route. 6) When using the external air supply, the plate and ceramic seal should be affixed to the air box underneath the stove (figure 3.6) Figure 3.
combustible material such as mineral wool or vermiculite. (Figure 4.0) 8) The area above the appliance should be left clear and NOT insulated. The top of the recess cavity should be closed off with a steel or non-combustible board register/ closure plate. A hole with sufficient diameter to allow the flue pipe to pass should be incorporated into this plate.
Specific Instructions for Oak Pedestal Specific Instructions for Wall-Hung There are additional safety factors to remember when using the Adept Oak Pedestal option. The ‘Adept Wall-Hung’ option comes supplied with heavy duty wall fixing bracket (figure 5.0) which should be securely affixed to a suitably level, and strong wall / structure. 1) The appliance must be positioned on the included 12mm thick steel plate. The plate sits between the top of the oak base and the appliance on top.
Figure 5.1 Figure 5.2 5) Use the M6 studs from underneath to level the stove horizontally using an allen key. See figure 5.1 As you tighten the stud, the two tab brackets on the plate and stove respectively, will move away from each other slightly, thus raising that side of the stove. If necessary, washers can be used between the tabs to maintain close larger gaps when leveling the stove.
