PREREQUISITES
BUILDING NOTICE
When you install a stove and erect a chimney, you
may have to give building notice to the local Planning
and Building Committee. Contact the Planning and
Building Committee in your municipality for up-todate information.
DISTANCE TO FLAMMABLE STRUCTURAL
UNITS
Before deciding where to place the stove, you must
localise the beams in the ceiling and the roof in order
to determine whether it is feasible to install a chimney
in the desired place.
The K800 must be placed at a distance of 100 mm
from ammable walls.
The distance from the side of the stove to a perpendicular wall must be at least 500 mm ventilated
space. (See the illustration below).
For corner placement, the minimum distance to ammable walls is 250 mm. This is measured at an angle
of 45 degrees from the rear corners of the stove.
(See the illustration below).
The stove may be placed closer than the dimensions
given above, if the wall is not ammable, however,
not closer than 50 mm.
LOAD-BEARING SURFACE
Check that the oor joists have sucient load-bearing
capacity. The stove and the chimney can normally be
placed on an ordinary timber joist oor, if their total
weight does not exceed 400 kg.
FLOOR PLATE
A oor plate must be set in place to protect the oor
from ying embers. The oor plate must extend at
least 300 mm in front of the door. The width of the
oor plate must be at least the width of the stove plus
100 mm on each side. An example of an approved
oor plate is given on page 5.The oor plate can consist of natural stone, concrete, clinker tiles or 0.7-mm
steel plate.
Naturally, you can use Keddy's own oor plate or
oor glass. These are installed after completing the
installation of the stove.
OUTDOOR AIR SUPPLY
The combustion of wood requires air/supply air. The
K800 can be provided with an external air supply,
which is recommended for properties with mechanical ventilation, see also under the heading "Good to
know" on page 13.A sheet metal drum is used for
drawing an outdoor air duct. The connection diameter of the supply air hose to the stove is 100 mm. If
the duct is more than 3 m long, the diameter of the
sheet metal drum must be increased to 125 mm. The
drum can be connected from below or from the rear,
see the illustration on page 5. (A stove's maximum
need for combustion air is approx. 20 m3/h).
The supply air must not be taken from crawl spaces.
If there is a crawl space, the sheet metal drum must
be extended to a valve in the foundation wall. If the
space is heated, the supply air channel must be insulated against condensation.
FLUE
The K800 must be connected to a ue approved
for at least 350ºC. As the area, length and material
of the ue are of great importance for the draught
formed in the ue, it is important the ue is not underdimensioned.The minimum recommended chimney
length is 3500 mm, measured from the top of the
stove, and the suitable area is 150 - 200 cm2 (approx.
150 mm in diameter.
Naturally, the K800 can also be connected to chimneys made of prefabricated elements, e.g. the Heda
Chimney.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
The illustration on page 5 shows the K800 from
above as well as where the ue ends up in relation
to the wall, depending on the choice of placement.
There is an illustration on page 6 for connection to an
existing ue.
Read the chimney's installation instructions before
starting on the preparations for the chimney and its
connection.

PREPARATIONS
1. FLOOR PLATE AND OUTDOOR AIR CONNECTION
Arrange the oor plate according to the instructions
on page 4 under the heading Floor plate. If you
choose to make your own oor plate, the minimum
dimensions stated in the above-mentioned point must
be followed at all times.
The illustrations to the right show the dimensions of
the ready-made oor plate, which is available as an
accessory.
If a connection to the outdoor air is required, a sheet
metal drum must be installed according to one of the
alternatives illustrated, either below or through the
rear wall.
Please note that the dimension for connecting to the
outdoor air from below is stated on the condition that
the stove is placed at the permitted distance from
ammable structural units.
2. FLUE CONNECTION
There are two alternatives for connecting the ue.
Alternative 1 Rear installation
Alternative 2 Top installation
Height from the oor to the centre of the ue at the
rear: 920 mm
Height from the oor to the height of the connection
top: 1060 mm
Note! If you install Keddy's floor glass, the dimensions above must be extended by 6 mm, i.e.
they become 926 and 1066 mm.
Outer diam. of the rear/top sleeve connection: Ø150
For so-called top connection of the chimney, this has
to be done after the stove has been installed. We will
return to this at the end of the Installation instructions
on p. 13.
For so-called rear connection of the stove, this has to
be prepared before the stove is put into place. Note
that side routing and long horizontal routing aect the
draught negatively. For satisfactory function with a
chimney pot of 3.5 m, the length of the horizontal ue
may not exceed 0.5 m.
There are many dierent requirements and variants
for the rear connection of stoves. We have chosen
to show two dierent examples, A and B, on the next
page.

FLOOR PLATE
FLOOR PLATE
EXAMPLE A
Rear connection directly into a chimneybreast or
a masonry chimney, e.g. a Heda Chimney.
Mark the centre for the hole in the wall for the ue.
Check that the height agrees with the stove's connection height. Make a hole with a diameter of approx.
180 mm using a drill and a chisel.
Install a pre-bushing of approx. Ø180 (not included)
using heat-resistant mortar. The connecting pipe
(not included) is measured and cut, so the end of the
pipe ends at the level of the chimney's ue after it is
installed.
When the stove is installed, connect the pipe to the
stove's connection sleeve using a sealant and tightly
caulk with oakum between the ue and the pre-bushing . NOTE! Bricking the pipe into the chimney is
not allowed.
EXAMPLE B
Rear connection through a flammable wall
The connection is made in the same way as in example A, with the exception that the connecting pipe
passes through a ammable wall.
The ammable wall therefore, must be furnished with
a shaft with re retardant lining (Masterboard, Minerit
or equivalent) and be insulated with at least 100-mmthick reproof insulation around the connection pipe.
Thus, there must not be any ammable material closer
than 100 mm from the ue.
When the outer diameter of the ue is Ø153 mm, the
shaft must be at least 353 mm x 353 mm.
3. UNPACKING / DISMANTLING
The K800, broadly speaking, is supplied completely
assembled, regardless of the model (815, 825 or 835).
In the vast majority of cases, the parts of the stove
models that can be assembled/disassembled are
treated in the same way so, for this reason, we have
chosen to use model 815 as an illustration, i.e. the
cast iron model, as it is applicable to all models.
The stove can be moved in as delivered but you
should, however, take care with the top stone on models 825 and 835, as it sits loosely.
If you remove the assembly box prior to carrying it in,
you should also remove the hearth plates as they are
secured for transport using the box.
In connection with the above, or if you want to reduce
the weight of the stove before moving it in, we describe how you can in a few simple steps remove the
parts involved.

1. When the outer packaging has been removed, the
stove is screwed on a wooden pallet. Start by opening the door, by pressing up the handle on the bottom right. Take out the box with installation ttings. In
the box, you will nd an electric cable, a globe, base
glass, a rear sleeve connection and an outdoor air kit
(accessory), if this has been ordered.
The opening handle can be removed (optional) since
the lock can be operated using the glove by pressing directly on the lock hasp, on the lower right of the
door.
NOTE! To close the door, push it closed without
lifting the lock hasp.
2. Remove the log guard, the grate and the ash pan.
3. Remove the hearth plates. Begin by pressing the
smoke shelf upwards so you can remove one of the
side plates. After this, remove in order the smoke
shelf, the second side plate and nally the back plate.
4. Remove the bottom stone by lifting it upwards and
turning it to the side.

5. Dismantle the top part. If the top is made of cast
iron, the two rear screws must be removed, as shown
in the illustration, before you can remove the top.
If the top is made of concrete/stone, it only needs to
be lifted straight up, since it located vertically against
back plate in order to be centred laterally afterwards.
Then, remove the top ring.
6. Remove the side panels by loosening the retaining
screws. Keep a hand on the panels during this op-
eration, to prevent them from falling on the floor.
Please note that the lower part of the cast iron panel
are located with two heels that t into two holes in the
stove body.
If the panel is made of stone/concrete, there a groove
that locates onto two elevations in the stove body.
You have now removed all of the necessary parts and
can unscrew the stove and move it into the house.
NOTE! Because the stove is heavy and is also
equipped with adjustment screws under the base, it
can be a good idea to take a piece of the packaging to
stand the stove on, in order to protect the floor while
manoeuvring it into position.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting on the installation of the stove, the following steps need to be fully completed:
The chimney:
Alternative 1 An existing chimney prepared for rear connection
Alternative 2 A newly installed chimney prepared for rear connection
Alternative 3 Preparation for a new top connection chimney
Outdoor air supply (if so required)
Floor plate (unless a oor plate or oor glass is to be installed afterwards)
Several operations have to be carried out before the stove is put into place.
1. Place the bottom plate on the oor. You
should preferably fasten the plate with a couple of screws. The stove's adjustment screws
will t into the pre-punched holes in the four
corners of the plate. If outdoor air is to be
connected from below, the cover plate on the
bottom plate has to be removed and the 100
- 63 mm reduction piece installed before the
stove is put into place.
2. If the stove is to have a rear connection,
the back plate must be removed. Loosen
the two screws in the top corners. Incline the
back plate so it can be lifted from the bottom
guide groove.
Loosen the cover plate via a bolt inside. The
cover plate is then mounted loosely in the top
connection sleeve, unless there is a hot plate
(accessory), in which case the cover lid is
superuous.
After this, install the rear connection sleeve
(delivered in the ttings box). For top connection, this part is superuous.
Break out the cover piece and replace the
back plate.

We are now ready to place the stove in its intended position.
3. Put the bottom plate in place. Place the stove
on the bottom plate and balance the stove vertically and horizontally using the four adjustment
screws in each corner of the base. The adjustment screws must t into the holes punched in
the bottom plate.
If oor glass is to be installed, the stove must be
screwed up to a height of at least 6 mm.
NOTE! Because the stove is heavy and is also
equipped with adjustment screws under the base,
it can be a good idea to take a piece of the packaging to stand the stove on, in order to protect
the floor while manoeuvring it into position.
4. Connect the outdoor air connection, if any.
When the connection is from the rear, the
insulation sock needs to be shortened and then
threaded on the hose inside the base.
Press the hose rmly onto the stove's supply air
terminal.
5. For a rear-connected stove, you now connect
the prepared ue to the back connection sleeve
and seal with sealant. Make sure that the joint is
sealed by sticking your hand into the stove and
spreading the sealant so it is airtight.
6 If necessary, ret the side panels, top ring and
top part. If it is a rear connection stove, you can
also install the top cover.
For illustrations, see points 5 and 6 on page 8.

7. If the chimney is to be installed on top, the
chimney must be installed now. Connect the
start module using sealant. Make sure that the
joint is sealed by sticking your hand into the
stove and spreading the sealant.
NOTE! Always leave at least 5 mm of ventilated space between the top of the stove
and the chimney's insulation/outer steel
jacket. (See the illustration.)
The rst section of the chimney is normally halfinsulated (approx. 30-mm insulation). However,
where it passes through the joists, the chimney
becomes fully insulated (approx. 60 mm of
insulation). For additional information about the
installation of the chimney, please, refer to the
installation instructions for the brand of chimney
you have selected.
8. Install the hearth plates, the grate and the
ash pan. For illustration, see points 2 and 4 on
page 7.
9. Assemble the base glass and connect the
electric cable to the socket on the rear base
plate.
You have now made your stove ready for use. In order for the sealant to harden properly, you must
leave the stove for at least three days before firing it for the first time. Since you have bought a stove
that also includes a lot of new technology, we will explain the function of the damper in the next section.

CARE & FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The K800 has been tested by the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute. It has
met the strictest environmental requirements on the market and has useful efficiency of
not less than 73%. For the K800 to work optimally, it is of key importance that you follow
the care and firing instructions below. Non-compliance will invalidate the warranty.
FUEL
The K800 must be red with wood. Most types of
rewood can be used. The most suitable are birch,
beech, ash and elm, but conifers and oak can also
be used if they are mixed 50/50 with another type of
hardwood. Oak contains acids, which may aect the
stove and chimney during combustion.
The rewood must be dry, i.e. with a maximum
moisture content of 20%. If the rewood is moist, an
unnecessary amount of energy is used boiling the
water away before it starts burning normally. Moreover, this forms large amounts of soot and tar, which
are deposited on the walls of the hearth and chimney, which in turn signicantly increases the risk for
a chimney re.
Moist rewood also results in poor combustion,
which leads to greater smoke generation with sooty
glass and deterioration of the local environment as a
consequence.
To be certain you will have dry wood when the heating season begins, it must be cut in the winter. The
wood is then stored in a ventilated place under a
roof and left to dry during the spring and summer.
Before using the wood, you should keep it indoors
for a couple of days so there is time for the surface
moisture to evaporate.
WARNING! It is absolutely forbidden to re the stove
with painted, glued (e.g. Masonite or chipboard) or
pressure-impregnated wood. It is also forbidden to
burn plastic and other waste in the stove. The combustion of such fuels and substances releases acids
and heavy metals, which are very harmful for both
people and the environment.
FIRING IN AUTOMATIC MODE
The K800 is equipped with a feature that ensures
that the ring is as safe and environmentally friendly
as possible. A heat probe, which detects the outgoing ue gas temperature, is positioned in the top
of the stove. The probe sends a signal to a control
unit, which then automatically controls a damper to
ensure the optimum combustion of the rewood.
This provides two big advantages. In the rst place,
it ensures that the chimney does not overheat
which, in the worst-case scenario, can cause a re.
Secondly, the rewood burns optimally during the
whole ring cycle, which maximises the eciency
and minimises the emissions.
Suitable rewood size and quantity for the K800 are:
Kindling:
Length approx. 25 - 30 cm
Diameter approx. 2 - 5 cm
Quantity approx. 1.9 kg
Split logs:
Length approx. 25 - 30 cm
Diameter approx. 6 - 10 cm
Quantity 1.7 - 1.9 kg / load
When you begin ring in automatic mode and the
stove is cold (less than approx. 35 degrees at the
heat probe), the stove is always set to the rated output, approx. 6 - 7 kW. The stove is tested and optimised during normal operation and with the amounts
of rewood we have stated.
For the stove to reach a good operating temperature quickly, the preset output mode should not be
changed before the stove has been lit for 15 min-
utes.
If the damper control is turned all the way to the left,
after 15 minutes, and released, the operation is reset to an output of 3 - 4 kW (low). If the same operation is repeated turn the damper control is turned all
the way to the right, the stove is reset to approx. 8 to
9 kW output (high). To return to nominal operation,
set the damper shaft so it points straight down.
NOTE! When a new output selection to low,
nominal or high output has been made, the
damper shaft will automatically travel forwards
and backwards, to regulate the supply air for
your latest output selection. You can see that
you have made a selection by studying the fire's
intensity after a couple of minutes.
- 12 -
NOMINAL
HIGHLOW
As the output modes are controlled automatically, the
burning time for the wood loads mentioned above will
be dierent.
3 - 4 kW approx. 60 - 80 minutes
6 - 7 kW approx. 50 - 60 minutes
8 - 9 kW approx. 40
For the automatic mode to work, the stove must have
a power supply. If for some reason there is no access
to electricity, the stove can be used as a traditional
stove. If you follow these instructions carefully, you
will still achieve very good eciency and environmen-
tal results.
FIRING IN MANUAL MODE
If for some reason there is no power supply, the
stove's damper control will function as a step-less
damper. (See the illustration below).
When you optimise ring manually, you should measure the amount of burned wood per hour. The K800 is
not intended for an output exceeding 9 kWh, i.e. never
exceed the maximum amount of recommended wood
per hour. This not only impairs the eciency there is
also a risk of overheating the stove and chimney. Suitable size and quantity of rewood for the K800 when
ring with manual damper:
Kindling:
Length approx. 25 - 30 cm
Diameter approx. 2 - 5 cm
Quantity approx. 1.9 kg
Split logs:
Length approx. 25 - 30 cm
Diameter approx. 6 - 10 cm
Quantity 1.7 - 1.9 kg / load
Max. amount 2.8 kg / hour
In manual mode, the damper is closed completely
when it is turned to the left and is open to the maximum when it is turned to the right (see the illustration
below).
The amount of air needed for burning, e.g. 1.9 kg of
wood in one hour depends on several parameters.
The length of and draught in your chimney, how hot
the stove and chimney are, i.e. how long you have
red. The basic principle, however, is that the stove
has to burn calmly and harmonically and, for a hot
stove, the damper control usually does not exceed
30% in order to achieve this with an output of 6 - 7
kW. (The damper control stands at 50% in the illustration above.)
FIRING AND FILLING WITH WOOD
Note that when the stove is new, a certain smell can
arise. This is caused by the paint and anti-corrosion
agent hardening. Ensure good airing and the smell will
disappear after the stove has been red a couple of
times.
Open a window near the stove, if there is negative
pressure in the house. Leave the window open until
the re starts to burn normally. Light the re in the following way:
Automatic mode
1. Open the door. Put in some crumpled newspaper or
relighters.
2. Put in 1.9 kg of kindling. Pile up the wood crosswise.
3. Light the re.
4. Close the door and wait until the re has burned
down before you ll up the stove again. (If the chim-
ney is cold or if there are unfavourable weather
conditions, you may need to keep the door ajar
during the first five minutes in order to establish
a satisfactory chimney draught.) When the stove
is cold during the rst re, it will burn the wood faster
than specied in the table but the stove will nd its
rhythm from the second re, when its has reached its
operating temperature.
5. If necessary, change the output mode. (You have to
wait for 15 minutes after you have lit the stove before
you can do this.)
Manual Mode
1. Open the door. Put in some crumpled newspaper or
relighters.
2. Put in 1.9 kg of kindling. Pile up the wood crosswise.
3. Turn the damper all the way to the right (max) and
light the re.
(If the chimney is cold or if there are unfavourable
weather conditions, you may need to keep the
door ajar during the first five minutes in order to
establish a satisfactory chimney draught.)
4. Let the rst re burn down with full damper. This
is in order to allow the stove to reach its operating
temperature quickly. Light a new re of the desired
size. Wait a couple of minutes until the re has started
burning properly. Then turn the damper to the left, until
you have achieved a calm and harmonic re.
Note! The reason why we want to achieve the optimum operating temperature in the stove quickly,
both in automatic and manual mode is that the
stove works most efficiently at this temperature.
This minimises the emissions and maximises the
heat generation.

GOOD TO KNOW
Since it can take some time for a cold chimney to start
working properly, i.e. to force the smoke in the right
direction, you can light a couple of sheets of newspaper and hold them up in front of the smoke shelf in
the hearth. In this way, you eliminate the downdraught
and avoid the nuisance of smoke entering the room in
the initial stage.
If the premises are equipped with mechanical ventilation, i.e. if there are one or more fans to evacuate
the air from the building, there could be such a large
negative pressure in the building that it could be dicult to light the stove. As a suggestion, you could turn
o the ventilation temporarily or open a window until
the negative pressure has dissipated.
Firing with too coarsely chopped wood or with too little
oxygen supply, so-called smoulder combustion, can
be risky. In part, this increases the amount of soot
and tar due to poor combustion, which could cause a
chimney re. Secondly, this could lead to small gas
explosions, which may damage the stove. In addition
to this, the smoke from the chimney will be unhealthy
and cause inconvenience to your neighbours.
Depending on the weather conditions and the length
and area of the chimney, among other things, you
may also get smoke in the room when you open the
door. In order to counteract this, open the door ajar
and let the re stabilise itself, in relation to the additional oxygen supply, and wait before adding more
wood, until the old re has burnt out.
REMOVAL OF SOOT AND MAINTENANCE
Soot must be removed at least once per season. The
soot from the chimney and the connections should
be removed by a chimney sweep. The smoke shelf
and the vertical hearth plates must be removed during
sweeping. You will nd instructions on how this is done
under point 3 on page 7. NOTE: Take care when you
clean the heat probe installed in the hearth roof.
If the glass becomes sooty, it is best to use a special
soot remover, which you can buy from your local stove
dealer. Never use detergents containing abrasive materials. This damages the glass.
TIP! Soot stains on glass are easily removed as follows:
1. Moisten a piece of soft kitchen paper with water.
2. Rub some ash from the hearth onto the kitchen
paper.
3. Remove the soot stain by rubbing with the kitchen
paper.
When you empty the ash pan, lift the grate by hand
(use gloves). Lift the ash pan out carefully. The ash
pan should be full when you have burned approx. 250
litres of rewood. Pay attention to the risk of fire
when you throw out the ash, as the ash may contain live embers for a very long time!
IMPORTANT! If there is a chimney re, the stove door
and the supply air control must be closed. In order to
be able to close the damper in automatic mode,
you must disconnect the plug from the wall. If
necessary, call the re brigade. After a chimney re,
the chimney must be inspected and approved by a
certied chimney sweep, before the stove can be put
into us again.
