Read these instructions! Use only recommended fuels!
Welcome to more than one-hundred-and-fifty years of Esse. You join the illustrious tribe of Esse fire-keepers, from
Florence Nightingale, Captain Scott, Mrs Beeton, Auguste Escoffier, Queen Victoria and most of the Royal Families of
Europe to Fred Dibnah and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
LOCATION: This appliance is
heavy, a load distribution plate
may be needed on weaker floors.
The appliance must be located on
a flat hearth extending at least
225mm in front of the fire, and of
suitable material to protect the
building from fire. Combustible
materials, including fuels, must be
at least 225mm away from the
room parts of the appliance. This
stove can fit into fireplace
openings of 400 to 460mm wide and 550 to 590mm high. If the
Outside air kit is used, fireplaces must be prepared with an extra
opening to the lower right of the face, as shown.
YOUR CHIMNEY makes your fire work. It stores surplus heat from
the fire, which makes the gas inside its hollow flue lighter, so that it
rises, pulling fresh air through the fuel and making it burn. The
Greenswitch is for connection to a single flue which must be:
● Able to operate safely at temperatures of up to 500°C
● Free from even the slightest leak, and absolutely incapable of
spilling fumes into the dwelling
● Smooth internally, unobstructed and able to be swept along its
entire length.
● Generate a continuous up-draught in use of at least 14Pa
(0.06insWG)
These ends will often be achieved by the chimney being constructed
entirely of masonry or insulated metal components, having an
internal size of more than 150mm but less than 300mm, being
substantially vertical with no severe bends or horizontal portions,
being at least 5m high and terminating at least 1m above any roof.
AIR SUPPLY. All fuels need a continuous supply of fresh air from to
burn. There must be an air supply into the room from outside the
building, incapable of being closed off and equal to a total of least
55cm² (=c7.5cm square). Leakage around doors and windows is not
always sufficient, while an extractor fan or another fuel-using
appliance, even in a different room, can remove this air and cause
dangerous fume emission.
An air supply kit is available to bring combustion air directly from
outside the building to the GreenSwitch boiler, greatly reducing the
risk of draughts and significantly improving performance.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION INTO MASONRY CHIMNEY
This is the traditional method used in Britain and Ireland. Other
methods of installation are possible – ask Esse for a leaflet.
1: Dismantle the boiler. If the unit is supplied assembled, lift off the
top of the front and carefully pull the cylindrical brass thermostat
sensor from its holder. Unfasten the 4 bolts shown, lift the front unit
up slightly and carefully part the two units. Take very great care not
to damage the soft seal.
2: Prepare the setting, fit and test the boiler. Place the boiler/rear
unit on a hearth which will extending at least 250mm in front of the
assembled fire, noting that the final surface of the fireplace will be
just behind the two flanges arrowed. In this example the air supply kit
has been fixed to the side of the boiler with adhesive tape, prior to
being cemented-in. Complete the piping circuit, fill and inspect for
leaks as you won't be able to repair leaks later.

THIS APPLIANCE BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT AND
CAN PRODUCE POISONOUS GASES.
A fire-guard should be used if children or the infirm are
present. The installer is required to EXACTLY follow
these instructions and to comply with all local, national
and applicable international standards.
