FEDS Inspection & Fitting
The Stratford EcoBoiler is not fitted with a traditional throat plate as found in most integrated boiler stoves,
instead a highly efficient

ystem is incorporated. This allows far more heat to be
absorbed by the boiler jacket, and reduces the overall amount of heat wasted by slowing the flue gasses
passage up the chimney. This in turn helps to reduce the overall fuel quantities required to produce a
given amount of hot water and radiated heat to your room.
As with traditional throat plate designs the FEDS needs to be checked regularly to ensure any build up of
ash and other debris produced by the burning of solid fuel is removed. The inner section of the FEDS is
welded in place during manufacture and requires nothing more than the removal of any residues produced
by the flue gases that may have built up on the surfaces. The Outer FEDS should be removed from the
stove to allow access to the mounting bracket, and cleaning of the outer section.
Due to the construction materials the outer FEDS section is both light and easy to remove. The outer
section is removed by the following method:-
With the stove door fully open, hold the bottom of the FEDS with both hands, palms on the bottom sloping
face. Push up firmly to release the FEDS from the retaining lugs (It may require a smart knock upwards
with the palm of your hand to release it.) Once clean and cleared of debris replace by following the
reverse of the above procedure.
IMPORTANT:
This procedure should only be carried out with the stove unlit and cold.
