ECO 810 If your chimney is unsuitable, or if your home does not have a chimney, we recommend the use of double-walled stainless steel chimney sections. Chimneys must comply with the prevailing building regulations. Make sure the building is carried out by a specialist. When purchasing such chimneys, be sure to check if a casing is required.
Page 14
ECO 810 Cleaning the chimney/fl ue Make sure your chimney/fl ue is cleaned at least once a year by a recognized chimney sweep. Your principle fuel source must be well-dried wood of suitable dimensions. The moisture content of the wood should be approximately 15%, and the length and diameter 32 cm.

ECO 810 ECO 810 Cast iron All cast-iron parts are fi tted in the factory. ECO 810 Soapstone The soapstone side panels (left + right) and top plate are supplied separately. Assembly of the soapstone: Ÿ Place the side panels carefully in the two metal cams on the underside.
Page 20
ECO 810 Ÿ Fit the rosette support (for cast-iron rosette and cover plate) to the bottom of the soapstone top plate. Ÿ Turn the top plate over and position it. Ÿ Attach the top plate. Check that the soapstone side panels and top plate fi t together properly.
Page 21
ECO 810 Ÿ Adjust the three screws in the rosette support to the proper height for the cast-iron rosette and cover plate. Ÿ Fit the cast-iron rosette and cover plate. Ensure that these are at the same height as the soapstone top plate.

ECO 810 Ÿ Storage drawer (option): You can open the storage drawer by pulling it forward using the handle.
ECO 810 STOKING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME If you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built, fi rst allow your home to dry properly. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the fi re or suddenly opening the door.
ECO 810 6.1. VENTILATION Air is a vital component of the combustion process. Ensure that there is a suffi cient supply of fresh air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the fi re (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed.
Page 29
ECO 810 We recommend that you maintain a substantial layer of ash (2 - 3 cm). This not only forms a protective layer for the base of the appliance but also signifi cantly reduces consumption of fuel and allows new wood to catch light easier.
ECO 810 Only open the door for fi lling and lighting the fi re and for removing the ash. Keep the door shut at all other times. Continuous burning with primary air (air through the ridling grill) causes a fi erce, white-hot fi re that can cause damage to the grill and other cast-iron parts of the stove.
ECO 810 7. GENERAL HINTS 7.1. TIPS Ÿ Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi...
ECO 810 Ÿ Chimney fi re. If, despite all the precautions, a fi re should occur in the chimney (you generally notice that because of a roaring sound in the chimney), do the following: Ÿ Immediately shut the chimney fl ap (if fi tted) Immediately shut the air supply to the fi...
Page 33
ECO 810 Adverse effects on the output are: Ÿ Burning the fi re with the door open. A warm chimney works in the same way as an extractor. When the door is open, the chimney draws in much more air than is necessary for combustion.
ECO 810 8. FUELS 8.1. WOOD Suitable fuels are: Ÿ All sorts of clean wood (forested). The wood must have been dried for at least two years. Well-dried wood has a humidity percentage between 10 and 20%. Recommended dimensions: length 25 cm; outline 30 cm.
If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating.

ECO 810 9.2. HEAT RADIATION The table below shows the temperatures which can theoretically be achieved by burning wood. Heat radiation Sort of fuel kWh/kg Dry wood (average) The heating value of wood (18.7 MJ/kg at 0% humidity) is not affected by the sort of wood.

ECO 810 14. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How often should I have my chimney swept? At least once a year. If you use your fi re more than three times a week on average, have your chimney swept more often. Have the chimney swept by a recognised company. Your fi re insurance policy may make this a condition and ask for proof.
Page 43
Can a wood-burning stove/fi tted fi re be connected to a central heating installation? The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fi res that can be connected to central heating installations. We do not advise attempting it !! How do I know if I’m heating correctly? Follow the instructions in this manual.
Page 44
ECO 810 If you leave the fi re door open, and especially if you burn damp wood, the result will be a lot of smoke. In both cases, the combustion temperature is too low. This leaves numerous dangerous compounds intact, which means more deposits in your chimney and more waste into the environment.
Page 45
ECO 810 The wood burns up too quickly. What should I do? Ensure that air cannot get in underneath the fuel. Close the primary air supply/ ridling grill and ash drawer. Under these conditions, the layer of ash should no longer burn bright orange/white but red.
Page 46
ECO 810 What happens when wood is burnt? The combustion process. The combustion of wood involves the following steps: Drying The fi rst step is that the fuel (wood) dries out. Even at low temperatures (<100°C), any moisture still in the wood will evaporate. This drying procedure implies a signifi...
