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 chimney requires lining, a lining must be used which is suitable for wood and solid fuel,
with a minimum of 150mm internal diameter. A meter 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. A stove 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. A collar 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
chimney will be directed back into the stove instead of seeping out onto the 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.

WARNING – DO NOT FIT ANY OF THE BATTERIES UNTIL INSTALLATION IS
COMPLETE
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.
