ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 • Do not approach the appliance with flammable materials or liquids. Any work with solvents, adhesives etc. in the space heated by the stove can be very dangerous. • Make sure you know what state your chimney is in. Cracks in the chimney may not only lead to damp, staining of walls and leaking of smoke, they can also impair the carrying off of smoke.
Page 13
The stove can then become over- heated. This may damage the grate and the metal flue gas flap (ECO 60). • Consult the current local building regulations before starting the assembly.
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 2.3. PREPARATION FOR POSITIONING Check all functions of the stove before fitting. • Check the opening and closing operation of the door. Turn the handle all the way down: Door is locked.

ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 • Report any defects immediately to your dealer. • Remove enclosed documents and components from the stove. Have the suitability of the area in which the stove is to be placed (and the chimney) approved by a specialist.
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.1. FITTING INSTRUCTIONS When fitting the stove, local and/or national regulations relating to fire safety must be followed. In case of doubt, consult the fire safety department of the local fire brigade, particularly if the stove is to be fitted in a home with walls and/or floors containing flammable material.
Page 21
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 Important: • Chimneys must be free-standing, i.e. they must not rest on the appliance itself. • Any pipe connections that are not insulated must also be fully insulated. • Flammable material must be kept clear (outside the casing/insulation zone) of all through-feeds in the floor or wall (remember the roof decking).
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 The mass flow and exhaust temperature of the stove The mass flow and exhaust temperature of the stove are shown in chapter 13; Technical Data. These values are important to consider when assessing the dimensions of the flue to which the stove is to be connected.
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 This will not only avoid poor combustion, but will also prevent flue gases being sucked from the appliance into the room. Should creating an extra ventilation opening prove insufficient, it is then necessary to fit a flue gas fan.

ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 3.4.4 Connecting to the chimney Ceiling connection: Insert a pipe into the sliding sleeve (niche pipe) to the ceiling as deep as possible. Position a chimney pipe on the top plate and mark off where the top pipe should be shortened.
Page 37
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 Connecting direct air supply connection: • Press the collar ring (Ø125 mm) in the opening at the rear of the appliance.
Page 38
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 • Fix a metal (flexible) tube to the collar using the hose clamp or Parker screws. • Insert a pipe (Ø125 mm) between the (flexible) pipe and the external air supply opening in the wall with, if required, a movable damper, in such a way that the pipe with operating lever is fitted so that the damper can be opened and shut from the living area.
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 STOKING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME If you have had your chimney breast modified or newly built, first 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 fire or suddenly opening the door.
That is why the air supply has to be assisted by opening the locking (ECO 60) (and/or the door) and air supply slider. Use dry, fine wood and some scrunched-up paper or firelighters to start the fire.
After approx. 10 minutes, the fire will be burning fiercely. You can now top it up with a few larger blocks of wood. Turn the locking all the way to the left (ECO 60) when these blocks are burning well, and close the door.
Page 45
When loading the stove with fuel, two blocks measuring 15 cm long and 40 cm perimeter (ECO 60), (18 cm long and 40 cm perimeter (ECO 70)), (17 cm long and 40 cm perimeter (ECO 90/100)) is sufficient. Do not add more fuel until the previous fuel has burned down to the charcoal stage.
Page 46
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 Use of the stove Your stove is suitable for periodic use. The appliance is fitted with a soapstone (ECO 100) or steel (ECO 60, ECO 70, ECO 90) casing on the outside. ECO 100: Soapstone casing: This casing first absorb a lot of heat (heat accumulation) before emitting (radiation / convection) warmth.
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 6.4. HEATING ECONOMICALLY The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is to have your fire hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange and should not glow like a blacksmith’s fire. Fires like that burn quickly and intensely, leaving little time for complete combustion.
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 GENERAL HINTS 7.1. TIPS • 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 classified as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 • Chimney fire. If, despite all the precautions, a fire should occur in the chimney (you generally notice that because of a roaring sound in the chimney), do the following: • Immediately shut the chimney flap (if fitted).
Page 50
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 Adverse effects on the output are: • Burning the fire 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 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 FUELS 8.1. WOOD Suitable fuels are: • 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%.
If this happens, there is a risk of fire. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating.

ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 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 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 REGULAR MAINTENANCE • Emptying the ashtray Regularly check how much ash is in the ashtray. Make sure the ashtray is never more than ¾ full. If the ashtray is more than ¾ full, it can obstruct the flow of air to fire.

Can a wood-burning stove/fireplace insert be connected to a central heating installation? The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fires 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 79
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 What is wrong with a smoking chimney? A seriously smoking chimney means that combustion is less than optimum. There may be a number of reasons for this. If the fire has only just caught on, or has recently been topped up, some smoke is normal.
Page 80
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 The wood burns up too quickly. What should I do? Ensure that air cannot get in underneath the fuel. Move the combustion air supply slider towards the “ - ” position. (The primary air supply is now closed.)
Page 81
ECO 60 / 70 / 90 / 100 What is creosote? Creosote is a tar-like deposit which is left in the chimney. It is formed in poor combustion conditions when burning wood (damp wood, pinching off the air supply to the stove or burning impregnated or painted wood for example).
