CAEDMON ECO DESIGN SMOKE CONTROL
WOODBURNING STOVE
INSTALLATION AND USER INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions carefully before installation and use.
These instructions should be retained by the user for future reference.
The Caedmon Eco Design stove has a nominal heat output of 7kW (wood), and a weight of
92 kg. The flue gas mass flow is 6.1g/s for wood logs. The mean flue gas temperature
directly downstream of the flue spigot at nominal heat output is 322 degrees C (wood).
Stove efficiency 76%. The Caedmon Eco Design has been tested as a closed appliance and
is capable of intermittent operation.
WARNING
The stove must be installed to comply with Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to British
Standard BS 8303 and to all local Building Regulations, including those referring to
National and European standards. These need to be complied with when installing the
appliance.
Ensure that the flue pipe diameter is not less than the 150mm diameter outlet on the
appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the Caedmon Eco Design.
If there is a possibility of disturbing asbestos during the installation it is necessary to take
the appropriate steps to protect the installer.
Fire cement is caustic and protective gloves should be worn.
The chimney must be swept and examined for soundness and suitability before the stove is
installed. Remedial action should be taken if required, seeking expert advice if necessary.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is
possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a closed appliance may loosen deposits
that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is
therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular
use after installation.
CO Alarms:-Building regulations require that whenever a new or replacement fixed solid
fuel or wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be
fitted in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing
the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.

The CleanAirAct 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the CleanAir 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. It is also an offence to acquire an “unauthorized fuel” for use within a smoke control
area unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which
generally apply in the smoke control area).
“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. It is also an offence to
acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an
"exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply in the smoke
control area). In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary
of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993
by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted
by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform
(Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Department of
Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
The Caedmon Eco Design Smoke Control have been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas when burning dry seasoned wood logs and the appliances have been
factory set to prevent closure of the air control slider beyond the 12mm open position and
the tertiary air is factory set at 50% open.
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of
Clean Air Act requirements.

UNPACK THE STOVE
Carefully cut the straps and lift the box up over the top of the stove. Remove the packing
from round the outside of the stove, leaving the plastic cover on if building work is still
in progress, it is important to protect the paint finish from any damage, water, dust or
fire cement. Using a 17mm spanner, remove the two bolts attaching the stove to the pallet,
and then replace the bolts into the stove legs, these are used as levelling bolts if required.
Open the stove door and remove the packaging from inside the stove, there is some behind
the baffle, and the heavy one inside the stove contains the spigot for the flue outlet.
Remove the bag inside the ashpan, this contains the operating tool, instructions, and a pair
of stove gloves.
CLEARANCES
The Caedmon Eco Design needs to be sited next to and on a non-combustible surface. A
minimum clearance of 150mm at the sides 300mm above and 50mm from the back of the
stove body will allow air circulation and not impede the performance of the stove.
If it is necessary to site the stove near a combustible surface a minimum of 200mm at the
back and 400 mm at the sides must be maintained from combustible materials.
It is a requirement that this appliance is installed on a solid, level, non-combustible hearth
conforming to current Building Regulations. The Caedmon Eco Design has been tested for
hearth temperatures and the maximum temperature was 56 degrees so is also suitable for a
12mm hearth.
INSTALLATION
A minimum flue draught of 24 Pa is required for nominal heat output. The Appliance must
be installed on a floor with an adequate load-bearing capacity. If an existing construction
doesn’t meet the prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken
to achieve it. As referred to in document J in the Building Regulations, the Caedmon Eco
Design requires a minimum of 1100 sq mm of fixed ventilation (this equals ventilation of
approximately 33mm x 33mm).
It is important that any inlet grilles are so positioned that they are not liable to blockage. It
is essential that the stove has adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation.
Apertures provided for this purpose shall not be restricted.
Please note where either the external airkit or remote control kit are fitted an airvent
is still required in the same room as the stove to the above specification.
Fit the collar on the top of the stove. A flat-bladed screw driver and 8mm spanner will be

CAEDMON ECO DEISGN SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE No. 02 10/10/2017

required.
The Caedmon Eco Design requires a Class 1 chimney of its own, a shared chimney will not
be suitable. The chimney must be sound, free from leaks and swept before installation. If
the chimneyrequires lining, a lining must be used which is suitable for wood and solid fuel,
with a minimum of 150mm internal diameter. Ameter of flue pipe should be used from the
stove before the chimney lining, and the lining must be installed to manufacturers’
instructions. Alternatively, if there is no chimney, then an insulated stainless steel flue
may be used, to BS EN 15287-1:2007 + A1:2010 with a minimum of 150mm internal
diameter, and must be installed to manufacturers’instructions and to relevant Building
Regulations.
The length of the chimney or flue must be at least 4.5 meters from the top of the stove, and
must finish in a down draught free area. Astove must not be installed into a room where
there is an extractor fan, or fumes could be pulled down the chimney.
It is essential to provide a facility for sweeping the chimney, and this may be done by
installing a soot door in the brickwork, or providing an access plate in the register plate or
flue pipe. The flue is fitted from the top of the stove and the baffle can be removed to sweep
up through the stove.
To connect the flue pipe to an existing chimney, a register plate is required, preferably
made of metal. Acollar is welded to the underside of the register plate so that the flue pipe
can be placed into the spigot on top of the stove and round the outside of the collar on the
register plate, so forming a ‘funnel’ effect. In this way, any moisture running down the
chimneywill be directed back into the stove instead of seeping out ontothe top of the stove.
Connect the stove to the chimney using vitreous enameled flue pipe, from the top of the
stove. Make sure that all joints and connections are well sealed.
TO INSTALL EXTERNALAIR SUPPLY WITH REMOTE CONTROL

Put one of the jubilee clips provided over the flexi vent pipe. Push the vent pipe onto the
rear air outlet on the stove and tighten the jubilee clip. Drill a 100mm hole through the wall
with a core drill and push the vent pipe through the wall.
Take the cover off the stainless steel air intake box by undoing the two rear screws at either
side. Feed the 1.5m braided lead through the wall into the stove position. Connect the flexi
air intake pipe to the back of the stove using the clip provided. Feed the flexi pipe through
the wall, gently pushing the stove into place and connect the outside air vent onto the metal
tube connected to the back plate. Wrap the 13mm ceramic rope provided round the pipe and
place silicone sealer round the outside of the back plate. Screw the back plate to the wall
and replace the cover.

Connect the receiver box to the cable near the stove, insert 4 x AA batteries.
Place the 9v battery into the handset.
To open the air vent press the smallest button on the handset at the same time as the button
next to the arrow pointing upwards. To close the air vent, just press the button next to the
arrow pointing downwards.
TO INSTALL EXTERNALAIR SUPPLY
Put one jubilee clip over the flexi vent pipe. Push the vent pipe onto the rear air outlet on
the stove and tighten the jubilee clip. Drill a 100mmhole through the wall with a core drill
and push the vent pipe through the wall, cutting to correct length. Put the second jubilee
clip round the vent pipe then fasten to louvre grill. Back fill round the outside of the vent
pipe with insulating material to prevent draught getting into the house. Then fasten the
louvre grill onto the wall.
TURBO BURNER
There is a Turbo Burner which brings air in allowing plenty of oxygen into the rear and top
of the stove, thus burning off gases which normally do not ignite. This gives the stove more
efficiency and better combustion, less pollution. The turbo burner is built in and needs no
adjustment.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
When ready to light the stove for the first time, make sure that everything is removed from
the ashpan, and then open the lever under the door to the left, this is operated by hand with
a glove or by foot. Then slide the air inlet on the right hand side of the stove towards the
front to let air in under the grate, this is meant for cold start or to be used when refueling.
First burn some newspaper in the stove, with the door closed, to warm the flue, as there
may be down draught initially. The temperature in the flue has to be increased to change the
down draught to up draught. If down draught persists, try burning a blow torch in the stove,
facing the flue for a minute or two. If there is a soot door fitted, try warming the flue
through the soot door. If this does not work, call in your installer. If the stove has not been
lit for a while, the chimney should be checked for blockages before lighting.
When ready to light the stove, put a small piece of fire lighter, about 25mm square is big
enough, and then add small sticks, taking care not to smother the flames. When the sticks
are well alight add small logs, gradually increasing the size. Once the fire is well
Established and hot the bottom air slide can be closed. A stove handle cover is included

CAEDMON ECO DEISGN SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE No. 02 10/10/2017

with the stove –place the black cover over the handle when opening and closing the door,
then remove and leave near the stove.
The appliance will give more heat output with increased air supply, so the controls can be
adjusted to increase or decrease the burning rate of the fuel, as desired.
To get the most efficiency from the Caedmon Eco Design stove it is necessary to build up a
bed of red ash in the grate, 2 –2.5 inches, but not above the lower holes in the back. Open
the primary air vent, the one on the bottom right hand side, for two minutes. Then close
this air vent. Open the bottom central lever to the left, this keeps the fire well alight with
low emissions. To get more efficiency this lever can be partially closed. Make sure there
is flame in the top of the stove, this will make the logs last longer and increase the
efficiency.
This appliance is hot whilst in operation. Keep children and furniture a safe distance away.
In the presence of children, elderly or infirm people a fireguard should be used. The
fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 –Fireguards for use
with solid fuel appliances.
User warning - parts become very hot while the stove is running so should not be touched
with bare hands. The special operating tool, stove handle cover and a pair of gloves are
provided for operation of the hot stove.
The appliance is designed to operate efficiently with the fire door closed. The door
should be kept closed at all times, except when refueling or removing ashes.
STOVE HANDLE COVER
There is a black stove handle included with your stove this is to be used when opening and
closing the stove door. Place the black handle cover over the handle when opening and
closing the stove door, then remove and leave near the stove for the next time.
PLEASE NOTE THIS HANDLE IS NOT TO BE LEFT ON THE STOVE WHEN
THE STOVE IS HOT.
TO RE-FUELTHE STOVE Do not over fill the firebox. Open the door to re-fuel,
the primary air at the bottom right hand side should be in the closed position. Slide the left
hand lever to the right to close the external air. This stops air coming from outside and
pushing smoke into the room. Add the fuel and leave the door ajar for a period of 2 –3
minutes or until the new refuel charge is well alight, close the door. Then open the left hand
lever. Use the left hand lever to adjust to suit required heat.
Refueling 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. Refueling must be carried out onto a sufficient 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 fire bed add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke

CAEDMON ECO DEISGN SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE No. 02 10/10/2017

Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading
can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
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.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The
appliance must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open
except as directed in the instructions.
FUELS
This appliance has been tested using seasoned wood logs. Logs need to be dry, seasoned
logs, ie. No more than 20% moisture content, maximum log length up to 350 mm x 100mm
diameter. Small pieces of kiln dried timber can burn very hot, take care that the fire does
not get out of control. The stove is designed to burn wood.
Warning –using a non-approved fuel may cause damage to the stove and will not be
covered by our guarantee. Wood needs to be dry and seasoned (maximum 20%
moisture content)
Do not burn any liquid fuel. Do not burn wood pellets.do not burn wood chips. Do not
burn any rubbish on the stove.
CLEANING THE STOVE AND FLUE
It is important to remove the ashes regularly, if the ash builds up through the grate, the
grate could overheat and distort.
Open the fire door with the stove glove provided, and, using the tool, gently pull out the
ashpan a little way. Then remove the tool and slot it in from the top of the slot in the
middle of the ashpan. The tool will then have a firm grip on the ashpan. Carefully carry
the ashes out to dispose of them, or use a ‘Tippy’ or similar ash carrier.
When the stove is being used regularly, it will be necessary to remove the baffle once a year
to clean any debris that may have collected there. The chimney/flue should be swept and
checked every year. The glass on the stove door can be cleaned (better when the glass is
cool), using a damp cloth, or sponge pan scrubber for any stubborn marks. Stove glass
cleaner may be used if required.
The body of the stove can be brushed with a soft brush, do not use water on the paint work.
If, in time, the body of the stove needs touching up, a touch-up aerosol of paint, the same as

CAEDMON ECO DEISGN SMOKE CONTROL ISSUE No. 02 10/10/2017

originally used in the factory, can be obtained from you supplier.
Warning –do not use an aerosol spray near the stove when the stove is alight.
This appliance should be regularly maintained by a competent service engineer.
There must be no unauthorised modification of the appliance
Any replacement parts must be recommended by the Manufacturer and can be purchased
from the approved dealer the stove was originally purchased from.
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a
thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air
through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air
controls fully open.
It is important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the
chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. The stove is not burning well.
The stove may need more fuel loading - load more fuel, see ‘lighting the stove’
The wood may be un-seasoned or damp - avoid using unsuitable wood. The chimney
may need sweeping, or there may be a build up of debris above the baffle - see ‘Cleaning
the Stove and Flue’
There may not be the required flue draught in the chimney/flue. In this case a longer
chimney pot may help, or there may be a blockage in the flue.
2. Smoke is coming into the room.
There may be down draught conditions, see paragraph 1 of ‘Lighting the Stove’. If it is not
possible to stop the down draught by warming the flue as described, it is advisable to leave
the stove unlit and test conditions later.
3. The stove is burning too hot.
Make sure the stove door is closed properly, and check that all air vents are closed.
Check the rope seal on the door. If the rope seal needs replacing, ceramic rope and
heatproof adhesive can be obtained from your supplier.
