* “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 o󰘯ence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any
󰘰xed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an o󰘯ence to acquire an “unauthorised
fuel” for use within a smoke control area Application Pack unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempt-
ed” from the controls which generally apply in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural A󰘯airs has powers under the Act to authorise smoke-
less fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and Wales this power
rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air
(Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or ob-
tained for use in smoke control areas have been “authorised” in Regulations and that appliances used to burn
solid fuel in those areas (other than “authorised” fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and signed by
the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here : https://www.gov.uk/smoke-
control-area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including designation and supervi-
sion of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of Clean Air Act requirements”
“The Keddy SK1000, K1100 and K700 have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas
when burning wood logs and 󰘰tted with a mechanical stop to prevent air control closure beyond the 30% open
position.”

PRECONDITIONS
BUILDING NOTICE
When you install a stove and erect a chimney, you
must give building notice to the local Planning and
Building Committee. Contact the Planning and Build-
ing Committee in your municipality for up-to-date
information.
DISTANCE TO FLAMMABLE STRUCTURAL
UNITS
Before deciding where to place the stove, you must
localise the beams in the ceiling and the roof in order
to determine whether it is feasible to install a chimney
in the desired place.
The K700 must be placed at a distance of 100 mm
from 󰘱ammable walls. To maintain the distance of
100 mm from 󰘱ammable walls for top connected
stoves, the chimney 󰘱ue must be semi insulated. (For
further info, see page 8, point 4.)
The distance from the side of the stove to a per-
pendicular wall must be at least 350 mm ventilated
space. (See the illustration below).
For corner placement, the minimum distance to 󰘱am-
mable walls is 100 mm. This is measured at an angle
of 45 degrees from the rear corners of the stove.
(See the illustration below).
The stove may be placed closer than the dimensions
given above, if the wall is not 󰘱ammable, however,
not closer than 50 mm.
The distance to 󰘱ammable walls in front of the stove
must be at least 1.1 m.
LOAD-BEARING SURFACE
Check that the 󰘱oor joists have su󰘲cient load-bearing
capacity. The stove and the chimney can normally be
placed on an ordinary timber joist 󰘱oor, if their total
weight does not exceed 400 kg.
FLOOR PLATE
A 󰘱oor plate must be set in place to protect the 󰘱oor
from 󰘱ying embers. The 󰘱oor plate must extend at least
300 mm in front of the door. The width of the 󰘱oor plate
must be at least the width of the hearth plus 100 mm
on each side.
The 󰘱oor plate can consist of natural stone, concrete,
clinker tiles or 0.7-mm steel plate.
Naturally, you can use Keddy's own 󰘱oor plate or 󰘱oor
glass. These are installed after completing the installa-
tion of the stove.
OUTDOOR AIR SUPPLY
For the combustion of wood air/supply air is required.
The K700 can be provided with an external air supply,
which is recommended for properties with mechanical
ventilation, see also under the heading "Good to know"
on page 10.
A sheet metal drum is used for drawing an outdoor air
duct. The connection diameter of the supply air hose
to the stove is 100 mm. If the duct is more than 3 m
long, the diameter of the sheet metal drum must be in-
creased to 125 mm. The drum can be connected from
below or from the rear, see the illustration on page 5.
(A stove's maximum need for combustion air is approx.
20 m3/h)
Do not take the supply air from crawl spaces. If there is
a crawl space, the sheet metal drum must be extended
to a valve in the foundation wall. If the space is heated,
the supply air channel must be insulated against con-
densation.
FLUE
The K700 must be connected to a 󰘱ue approved for at
least 350ºC. As the area, length and material of the 󰘱ue
are of great importance for the draught formed in the
󰘱ue, it is important the 󰘱ue is not under-dimensioned.
The minimum recommended chimney length is 3500
mm, measured from the top of the stove, and the suit-
able area is 115-175 cm2 (approx. 125mm in diameter).
The K700 is also approved for connection to older ma-
sonry chimneys with enclosing walls that are only half a
brick thick.
Naturally, the K700 can also be connected to chimneys
made of prefabricated elements, e.g. the Heda Chim-
ney.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
The illustration on page 11 shows the distance from the
rear edge of the stove to the centre of the chimney. If
you add the distance to the wall, you obtain the position
of the ue in relation to the wall. There is an illustration
on page 6 for connection to an existing ue.
Read the chimney's installation instructions before
starting on the preparations for the chimney and its
connection.

PREPARATIONS
1. FLOOR PLATE AND OUTDOOR AIR
CONNECTION
Arrange the 󰘱oor plate according to the instructions
on page 4 under the heading Floor plate. If you
choose to make your own 󰘱oor plate, the minimum
dimensions stated in the above-mentioned point must
be followed at all times.
The illustrations to the right show the dimensions of
the ready-made 󰘱oor plate, which is available as an
accessory.
If a connection to the outdoor air is required, a sheet
metal drum must be installed according to one of the
alternatives illustrated, either below or through the
rear wall.
Please note that all dimensions are given presum-
ing the stove is placed at the minimum permitted
distance from 󰘱ammable structural units.
2. FLUE CONNECTION
There are two alternatives for connecting the 󰘱ue.
Alternative 1: Rear installation
Alternative 2: Top installation
Height from the 󰘱oor to the centre of the 󰘱ue at the
rear: 665 mm
Height from the 󰘱oor to the height of the connection
top: 820 mm
Outer diam. of the rear/top sleeve connection: ∅125
For so-called top connection of the chimney, this has
to be done after the stove has been installed. We will
return to this at the end of the Installation instructions
on p. 9.
For so-called rear connection of the stove, this has to
be prepared before the stove is put into place. Note
that side routing and long horizontal routing a󰘯ect the
draught negatively. For satisfactory function with a
chimney pot of 3.5 m, the length of the horizontal 󰘱ue
may not exceed 0.5 m.
There are many di󰘯erent requirements and variants
for the rear connection of stoves. We have chosen
to show two di󰘯erent examples, A and B, on the next
page.

EXAMPLE A
Rear connection directly into a chimneybreast or
a masonry chimney, e.g. a Heda Chimney.
Mark the centre for the hole in the wall for the 󰘱ue.
Check that the height agrees with the stove's connec-
tion height. Make a hole with a diameter of approx.
180 mm using a drill and a chisel.
Install a pre-bushing of approx. ∅160 (not included)
using heat-resistant mortar. The connecting pipe
(not included) is measured and cut, so the end of the
pipe ends at the level of the chimney's 󰘱ue after it is
installed.
When the stove is installed, the pipe has to be con-
nected to the stove's connection sleeve using a seal-
ant and tightly caulked with oakum or mineral wool
between the 󰘱ue and the pre-bushing. NOTE! Brick-
ing the pipe into the chimney is not allowed.
EXAMPLE B
Rear connection through a flammable wall
The connection is made in the same way as in ex-
ample A, with the exception that the connecting pipe
passes through a 󰘱ammable wall.
The 󰘱ammable wall therefore, must be furnished with
a shaft with 󰘰re retardant lining (Masterboard, Minerit
or equivalent) and be insulated with at least 100-mm-
thick 󰘰reproof insulation around the connection pipe.
Thus, there must not be any 󰘱ammable material closer
than 100 mm from the 󰘱ue.
If the outer diameter of the 󰘱ue is ∅128 mm, the shaft
must be at least 328 mm x 328 mm.
3. UNPACKING
The K700 is delivered on a pallet broken down into
the following parts:
Stove completely assembled 1x
Hearth plates, glove etc. (Box in hearth) 1x
Sleeve connector 1x
Cover plate 1x
(Not used with top connection or the hotplate accessory)
The stove is secured on the pallet via a 󰘰xing plate in
the base. If you want, some parts of the stove can be

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting on the installation of the stove, the following steps need to be fully completed:
The chimney:
Alternative 1 An existing chimney prepared for rear connection
Alternative 2 A newly installed chimney prepared for rear connection
Alternative 3 Preparation for a new top connection chimney
Outdoor air supply (if so required)
Hearth floor plate (unless a 󰘱oor plate or 󰘱oor glass is to be installed afterwards)
1. Move the stove indoors and put it into
position. Adjust the stove horizontally and
vertically using the feet under the base by the
󰘱oor.
A suitable place to check horizontally and
vertically with the help of a spirit level is on
the hearth's sealing plate.
Tip! The stove is vertical and horizontal
when the door stays open at an opening an-
gle greater than 90-95 degrees and when it
closes automatically at an opening angle less
than 85-90 degrees.
Where applicable, connect outdoor air to the
hearth.
2. To dismantle the front/door, start by
unscrewing the two front bolts that secure
the inner roof to the cassette front. After this,
loosen the centre screw at the centre of the
inner roof's front edge.
Then open the door fully. Unscrew the four
bolts in each corner.
After this, carefully pull the front towards you
until it comes free from the two guide rails.
Carefully put the front to one side, to avoid
damage to the opening handle. The front and
door weigh approx. 35 kg.

2. If the stove is to be connected at the rear, the
back plate has to be removed by loosening the
two Torx screws on the top.
Then, loosen the 󰘱ue connection using the two
bolts inside the hearth. After this, turn the con-
nection round and reassemble it again.
3. Dismantle the internal protective plate that
sits on the inside of the back plate by pushing it
up. (For rear connection, this plate must not be
replaced.) Remove the thrust washer on the back
plate by turning it backwards and forwards and
then reinstall the back plate. Then, connect the
stove connection to the 󰘱ue (not included in the
delivery) that connects to the chimney. Place the
cover plate on the top of the stove to hide the
chimney hole or, alternatively, a turned hotplate,
(accessory). In which case, the cover plate is
surplus to requirements.
4. If the chimney is to be installed on top, the
chimney must be installed now. Connect the start
module using sealant. Make sure that the joint is
sealed.
NOTE! Always leave at least 10 mm of venti-
lated space between the top of the stove and
the chimney's insulation/outer steel jacket.
(see illustration)
The 󰘰rst section of the chimney is normally half-
insulated (approx. 30-mm insulation). However,
where it passes through the joists, the chimney
becomes fully insulated (approx. 60 mm of insu-
lation). To maintain the distance of 100 mm from
󰘱ammable walls, the chimney 󰘱ue must be semi
insulated. For additional information about the
installation of the chimney, please, refer to the
installation instructions for the brand of chimney
you have selected.
5. Install the hearth 󰘰ttings. Begin with the hearth
base and then install the vermiculite plates in the
following order: 1. Back, 2. Rear left, 3. Ba󰘳e, 4.
Rear right (now you need to push up the ba󰘳e),
5. Front left, 6. Front right. The hearth plates
should line up with the inside of the 󰘱ange on the
hearth base.
Finish by installing the enclosed log guard by
hooking it 󰘰rmly to the front edge of the hearth
base.
You have now made your stove ready for use. In order for the sealant to harden properly, you must
leave the stove for at least three days before firing it for the first time.

CARE & FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Keddy's K700 has been tested by a certified testing institute. It has extremely good environ-
mental values and a useful efficiency exceeding 80%. For the stove to work optimally, it is of
key importance that you follow the care and firing instructions below. Non-compliance will
invalidate the warranty.
FUEL
The K700 must be 󰘰red with wood. Most types of
󰘰rewood can be used. The most suitable are birch,
beech, ash, and elm, but conifers and oak can also
be used if they are mixed 50/50 with another type of
hardwood. Oak contains acids, which may a󰘯ect the
stove and chimney during combustion.
The 󰘰rewood must be dry, i.e. with a maximum
moisture content of 20%. If the 󰘰rewood is moist, an
unnecessary amount of energy is used boiling the
water away before it starts burning normally. This
also forms large amounts of soot and tar, which are
deposited on the walls of the hearth and chimney,
which in turn signi󰘰cantly increases the risk of a
chimney 󰘰re.
Moist 󰘰rewood also results in poor combustion, which
leads to greater smoke generation with sooty glass
and deterioration of the local environment as a con-
sequence.
To be certain you will have dry wood when the heat-
ing season begins, it must be cut in the winter. The
wood is then stored in a ventilated place under a roof
and left to dry during the spring and summer. Before
using the wood, you should keep it indoors for a cou-
ple of days so there is time for the surface moisture
to evaporate.
WARNING! It is absolutely forbidden to 󰘰re the stove
with painted, glued (e.g. Hardboard or chipboard) or
pressure-impregnated wood. It is also forbidden to
burn plastic and other waste in the insert. The com-
bustion of such fuels and substances releases acids
and heavy metals, which are very harmful for both
people and the environment.
BEFORE FIRING - WHEN THE STOVE IS NEW
During the 󰘰rst week, 󰘰ring can be started carefully.
Start with one to two 󰘰res during the 󰘰rst couple of
days.
A particular smell will occur during the 󰘰rst 󰘰rings in
the stove. This is the cast iron's paint and rust proof-
ing hardening. Ventilate as required and ensure that
there is good air exchange. The smell will normally
disappear after a few 󰘰res.
FIRING
When you optimise 󰘰ring manually, you should meas-
ure the amount of burned wood per hour. The stove is
not intended for an output exceeding 9 kWh, i.e. never
exceed the maximum amount of recommended wood
per hour. This not only impairs the e󰘲ciency, there is
also a risk of overheating the insert and chimney and
an output of excess smoke. Suitable 󰘰rewood size
and quantity for the K700 are:
Kindling:
Length approx. 25-35 cm
Diameter approx. 2-5 cm
Split logs:
Length approx. 25-35 cm
Diameter approx. 6-10 cm
Amount approx. 1.5 kg per load
Max. amount approx. 2.7 kg per hour
NOTE! Every load should burn down completely
before you add new rewood. In which case, the
insert works at its best and you avoid the incon-
venience of possible blow back.
The damper is closed completely when it is turned to
the left and is open to the maximum when it is turned
to the right (see the illustration below).
The amount of air needed for burning for example 2
kg of wood in one hour depends on several param-
eters. The length of, and the draught in, your chimney,
how hot the stove and chimney are, i.e. how long you
have 󰘰red. The basic principle, however, is that the
stove has to burn calmly and harmoniously and, for a
hot stove, the damper control does not usually exceed
30-40% in order to achieve this at an output of 5-7
kW. (The damper control stands at 50% in the illustra-
tion above.)
As a rule of thumb, if you want to reduce the output, a
load of 1.5 kg 󰘰rewood should burn for about 60 min-
utes. The stove will then provide approx. 4 kW.

- 10 -
Lighting a fire
1. Open the door by pulling on the 󰘰xed handle under
the door edge. Then, lay kindling crosswise until you
have an approx. total quantity of wood of 1.5 kg. (Ap-
prox. 15 pieces of kindling) (See picture below)
2. Push the damper control as far to the right as it will
go, place a couple of 󰘰relighters on top of the heap
and light. In the majority of cases, you can close the
hatch immediately after lighting.
(If the chimney is cold or if there are unfavour-
able weather conditions, you may need to keep
the door ajar during the first couple of minutes
in order to establish a satisfactory chimney
draught.)
3. Let the 󰘰rst 󰘰re burn down with maximum air sup-
ply. This is to allow the stove to reach its operating
temperature quickly. Light a new 󰘰re of the desired
size and close the door. Wait a couple of minutes,
until the 󰘰re has started burning properly. Then turn
the damper to the left, until you have achieved a calm
and harmonious 󰘰re.
Note! The reason why we want to achieve the op-
timum operating temperature in the stove quickly
is that it works with the best efficiency at this
temperature. This minimises the emissions and
maximises the heat generation.
The K700 is equipped with an innovative self-
closing and self-locking door. When putting
firewood in or removing ash, carefully place the
door at 90 to 95 degrees opening angle, so the
door will stay open. Give the door a light push,
back past the 90 degrees position, and the door
closes automatically and locks.
NOTE! For further information on firing in our
stove, see the film "firing tips" on keddy.se.
CARE & FIRING INSTRUCTIONS Cont...
GOOD TO KNOW
Since it can take some time for a cold chimney to start
working properly, i.e. to force the smoke in the right direc-
tion, you can place a 󰘰relighter on the ba󰘳e and light it.
In this way, you eliminate the downdraught and avoid the
nuisance of smoke entering the room in the initial stage.
If the premises are equipped with mechanical ventilation,
i.e. if there are one or more fans to evacuate the air from
the building, there may be such a large negative pressure
in the building that it could be di󰘲cult to light the stove. We
suggest that you turn o󰘯 the ventilation temporarily or open
a window until the negative pressure has dissipated.
If there is insu󰘲cient burning material in the 󰘰rebed to light
a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refuelling must be carried out onto a su󰘲cient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite
in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the
󰘰re bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke.
The appliance must not be operated with the appliance
door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open
can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be oper-
ated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open
except as directed in the instructions.
Depending on the weather conditions and the length and
area of the chimney, among other things, you may also
get smoke in the room when you open the door. In order
to counteract this, open the door ajar and allow the hearth
to stabilise in relation to the additional oxygen supply, and
always wait before adding more wood until the old 󰘰re has
burnt out.
REMOVAL OF SOOT AND MAINTENANCE
Soot must be removed at least once per season. The soot
from the chimney and the connections should be removed
by a chimney sweep. The vermiculite ba󰘳e should be
removed during soot removal.
If the glass becomes sooty, it is best to use a special soot
remover, which you can buy from your local stove dealer.
Never use detergents containing abrasive materials. This
will damage the glass.
When emptying the stove, the ash should be placed in a
sheet metal container.Pay attention to the risk of fire
when you throw out the ash, as the ash may contain
live embers for a very long time!
IMPORTANT! If there is a chimney 󰘰re, the stove door and
the supply air control must be closed. If necessary, call the
󰘰re brigade. After a chimney 󰘰re, the chimney must be in-
spected and approved by a certi󰘰ed chimney sweep before
the stove can be put into use again.
PACKAGING
The stove is delivered on an untreated wooden pallet,
which can be sorted as combustible material or burned in
the insert. Other packaging is corrugated paper or pa-
perboard, which should be sorted and disposed of in the
intended container at your nearest recycling centre.
