Just wanted to update and thank those of you who has contributed on this. Since the sweep came, the system is running better. I think there were a number of issues that contributed to the probems, such as a suspect delivery in the past, insufficient additive, and running the oil flow too low...

yes, thanks that's all correct.

Below Position 3 results in a significantly yellow flame.

Pretty sure now that there is nothing connected on the inside of the burner entry pipe after what you said. I undid the tee nut and cleaned out the pipe as best I could. I found the washer which is copper coloured and its difficult to see its there unless you crouch right down and shine a torch...

Hi again Thanks. I'm beginning to conclude that the handbook is misleading and that the tee is in fact referring to the one you mentioned on the outside of the pot - although I can't see how you could "lose the washer below any deposit"??? I'm hoping to get hold of someone at Esse tomorrow...

Thanks again for your forbearance. :) Well, I can't find the plate with the handle on it. I'm thinking that our stove may be slightly diffferent. There is nothing at the back where you said, only the cooker rod with its flat plate thing to enable the fluway to be open and closed. When it is open...

When I cleaned at the bottom of the burner pot today, I used a mirror so that I could have a good look at the oil entry area and discovered that the brass inlet tee and washer are missing. :( We have never been able to remove this as we couldn't get the removal tool that is mentioned in the...

Hi again Hi again and thanks for a quick response. I am working on the V40 now this evening. I have cleaned out down the entrance at the back which definitely goes to the flu box located between the ovens (confirmed by seeing the end of the brush). This must be a different flu way as there is...

This is a copy of the instructions for cleaning (there is no diagram) - I hope it comes out OK as it is an image.

Thanks for your suggestion. I intend to have another look tomorrow. If I understand you correctly, the access plate will be located on the back of the stove - ie in a verticle postion. There is a bolt located at the back in that area with has a wingnut on it holding a strip of metal about 1"...

I think ours is similar - you take off the rectagular cover and there is a sort of shute which goes down at the back on the right hand side behind the oven. I've always cleaned that out with a long handled bottle brush and I presume that the soot then collects in the area that is located between...

Point taken, thanks.

Thanks - I have spoken to him some years back but more recently found it difficult to get hold of him. Another guy was supposed to be getting back to me about this issue but never did.

Thanks for your input. This Esse does not actually have a wick, unlike the old fashion Aga types. I think that they may mean the passage way at the top back which is accessable when the cooker rod is in the OUT position - I always brush down that. Last winter the stove had been sooting up after...

Hi folks Found this forum whilst trying to get some info about our Esse cooker, and was hoping that some of you may have one or experience of cleaning these. The big advantage with this model is that it can still run if the electric goes off as it is a vapourising type, albeit the pump would...
