Hello Boris, and welcome to the forums,
So how is your experience with the Laura stove?
When I was looking for a pellet stove ten years ago, I also considered one of the Ecotecks, but I settled on the Whitfield Quest Plus. See description of it in my signature.
The Whitfield has a couple of advantages over the Ecotecks: A huge hopper ( pillemagasin ) and a huge ash pan ( askeskuffe ).
The Whitfield can run over a month, before the ash pan is full.
I you're having any problems/issues with your Ecoteck please feel free to ask in this forum section. Many members here have an Ecoteck stove and are very helpful.

Hi to the Minister of Fire, I would like it if you could send me a Service Manual for the earlier versions of the Ecoteck, We have been servicing quite a few units due to the closing of dealers. The Elena and Monica units are most of what we are seeing. We have about five new units left and the people that have them generally like them for the quietness, heat output and German motors with replaceable bearings. [email protected]
I have a ravelli laura pellet stove. Can't find anyone interested in servicing it. Is there any way to get a service manual? I have the user manual but doesn't give enough information.
Thank you so much. This is what I've been looking for. I don't believe my stove is an RDS. I purchased it last year brand new from a dealer in Hershey,PA. However it was a cash deal, no receipt, no warranty, must have been leftover or discontinued as far as I can gather. I couldn't really get a strait answer out of the dealer.
I think I know who you bought it from, that was a good deal at $2000. Those stoves sold for about $4700 when they were new, circa 2009.
It was a brand-new leftover. I bought my very similar "Elena" in 2011, when the Ecoteck/Ravelli USA distributor decided to quit, and sold all their Ecoteck inventory on clearance.
Before you use the stove, make sure you properly insert the "flame trap" plate (metal triangular shape) into the inside top of the fire chamber. These plates are usually thrown in the hopper during shipping, otherwise they will rattle around in the fire chamber during transit, and damage the white "firex" walls. The firex is fragile, only use a soft 2 inch wide paintbrush to clean it, do not touch it or scrape it with anything else.
I forgot to also give you a copy of the important cleaning/maintenance manual, although for my Elena model, is fully applicable for your nearly indentical Laura model.
Also, make sure you plug your stove into a quality surge suppressor, like an Isobar / Tripp Lite branded unit.
Also, the "Recipe" for the stove should be set-up when you fire-up the stove for the first time:
The "Recipe" refers to the baseline setting for draft and pellet feed rate, which are optimised for a particular pellet and flue flow configuration. For my Ecoteck, there is an Installer Menu where you can alter the baseline draft and feed rates (+/- 25%) for a range of flue configurations, from a restrictive horizontal flue, thru a high-drafting, low restriction long vertical flue configuration. This setting is typically set once, at installation. There is also a User Menu "Recipe", to trim the pellet feed-rate and exhaust blower speed for small variations in the quality of pellets you are burning. These User trims are small (+/- 5%) changes to the parameters of the choosen Installer menu recipe. The Italian to English translation is a bit funny at times, like calling the the combustion blower a "smoke engine" !

My cleaning routine for my Ecoteck Elena:
Every 3 to 5 bags of pellets, I clean my Ecoteck Elena as follows : takes about 10 minutes :
1) Remove Flame trap at top of firebox (triangular metal plate). Be carefull when you remove it so you don't damage the firex. Then vacuum around the heat exchanger tubes and the perimeter of the square opening just below the tubes. A "crevice" tool/nozzle on my ShopVac (with "Cleanstream" HEPA filter) works great. Move the tube scraper to the full out position to vaccum the rear edge of the square opening.
2) Use a soft 2 inch paint brush, gently brush off the Firex, use the vacuum nozzle to gather the dust. DO NOT scrape the Firex with the nozzle : it is fragile ! You won't be able to get all the black soot off the firex...that's OK.
3) Replace the Flame-Trap
4) Vacuum the grate around the burnpot, then remove it.
5) Use a plastic spackle/putty knife and scrape the sides and bottom of the burn pot, then vacuum it, then remove it.
6) Vacuum the inside of burn-pot holder/receptacle. Clean the burn-pot holes with a wooden food skewer.
7) Replace the burn pot
8) Replace the grate.
9) Pull out ashpan and vacuum it
10 Vacuum the bottom of the firebox, where the ashpan sits.
11) Replace the ashpan
12) Clean the glass with a wet (water) paper towel, dry it off with another (dry) paper towel. (NO WINDEX, and clean glass ONLY when it is cool to the touch)
Close it up !
I have never vacuumed my hopper : the Ecoteck auger does not seem to care about fines/dust.
About every ton of pellets, I vacuum out my flue.
At the end of the season (2 to 3 Tons) I take the side panels off, take the exhaust blower off, and open the two clean-out ports ("Inspection Hatches") and vacuum everything out using a smaller diameter hose/tube, duct-taped into the hose nozzle of my ShopVac, to get into the clean-out ports and into the exhaust blower housing. I use a Gore Clean-Stream HEPA filter in my Shop-Vac (no ash dust gets blown into the house). The filter can be easily cleaned with water, and after drying is 100% good as new.
Disconnect the vacuum line at the exhaust blower outlet duct, then do the "leaf blower trick" do get the final ash out of the system.

Seems very thorough ---I read it and went back to bed--lots of work here...lol Someone has a manual for you...yes clancey
I too would find a service manual ever so helpful due to the minimal info within the owners manual. My Ecoteck is also a pre RDS version. Unfortunately my iPad will not open the pdf you’ve attached. very much appreciated if you could email me a copy too. Thankyou.
