SUPPLEMENTARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles
to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight
modification to suit particular local site conditions.
In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority
Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
It should be noted that the Building Regulations requirements may be met by adopting the
relevant recommendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS EN 15287-1:2007 as an
alternative means to achieve an equivalent level of performance to that obtained following
the guidance given in Approved Document J.
Should any conflict apply between these instructions and the original manufacturers
instructions then the most stringent advice must apply.
Please note that it is a legal requirement under England and Wales Building Regulations
that the installation of the stove is either carried out under Local Authority Building Control
approval or is installed by a Competent Person registered with a Government approved
Competent Persons Scheme. HETAS Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their
Registered Competent Persons can be found on their website at www.hetas.co.uk.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted
in the same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon
monoxide alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions. Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing
the appliance correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and
chimney system.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at
Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. In case
of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the course of
installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.

When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
STOVE PERFORMANCE
Refer to the manufacturer’s main instruction manual for details of the stove’s performance.
PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
fumes into the room.
Chimney
In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure an adequate
draught of approximately 15 Pa so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent smoke problems into
the room.
NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the
top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation procedure given in EN 13384-1 may
be used as the basis for deciding whether a particular chimney design will provide sufficient draught. BS EN
15287-1:2007 gives additional details.
The outlet from the chimney should be above the roof of the building in accordance with the provisions of
Building Regulations Approved Document J.
If installation is into an existing chimney then it must be sound and have no cracks or other faults which
might allow fumes into the house. Older properties, especially, may have chimney faults or the cross section
may be too large i.e. more than 230 mm x 230 mm. Remedial action should be taken, if required, seeking
expert advice, if necessary. If it is found necessary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel
must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately before installation
of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after
installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the
stove and the open fire.
If there is no existing chimney then any new system must be to the designation described above and in
accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J.
A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for use as
the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter of 150 mm and
its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove.
Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45. 90bends should not be used.
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls of fireplaces or flues
could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence of combustible materials due account
must be taken of the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building Regulations
Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then a draught stabiliser should be fitted. Fitting of
a draught stabiliser will affect the requirement for the permanent air supply into the room in which the stove is
fitted in accordance with Approved Document J (see also combustion air supply).
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweeping the chimney and
connecting fluepipe where it is not intended for the chimney to be swept through the appliance.

DRAFT 24 Jul 2013
Page 3 of 5
Hearth
The hearth should be level and able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its chimney if the chimney
is not independently supported. The weight of the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should preferably be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construction that is in
accordance with the provisions of the current Building Regulations Approved Document J.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth and walls adjacent
to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of combustible material given in Building
Regulations Approved Document J and also in these stove instructions.
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor surface, it must becovered with a non-combustiblematerial
at least 12mm thick, in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J, to a distance of 30 cm in
front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there must be an adequate air supply into the room in
which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. The provision of air supply to the stove must be in
accordance with current Building Regulations Approved Document J. Special attention should be taken in
newer build properties where the design air permeability is less than 5m3/h.m2. Approved Document J gives
more information on this. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose.
The fitting of an external air kit direct to outside air must not be considered substitute for installing
the appliance with a permanently open air vent in compliance with ventilation requirements stated in
Approved Document J. Please reference ADJ for further guidance.
Connection to chimney
Stoves may have a choice of either a rear or top flue gas connector that allows connection to either a
masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with their
instructions. In some cases it may be necessary to fit an adaptor to increase the diameter of the flue to the
minimum required 150 mm section of the chimney or liner. All joints in the connection between the stove and
the chimney must be made gastight using fire cement and where necessary fire-proof rope infill. Means
should be made for sweeping the entire length of the flue, be that through the appliance or by suitable
sweeping hatch in the flue.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure all parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out,
before lighting the stove. Once the stove is under fire check all seals for soundness and check that the flue is
functioning correctly and that all products of combustion are vented safely to atmosphere via the chimney
terminal.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are
left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance and warn them to
use only the recommended fuel for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 6539) in the presence of children, aged and/or
infirm persons.
HETAS Ltd Approval;
These appliances have been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent operating appliance for burning wood
logs only.

USER MANUAL FOR STOVES WITHOUT BOILERS
SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET
TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes
from de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.
(b) Let the fire go out.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If
necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must
be kept clean at all times.
IMPORTANT NOTES
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks
described above have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and
free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover the installer should have
shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds
unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
Air Controls
Manually operated air control can be managed by adjusting the air control valve to increase/decrease the air
flow to the stove.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must
be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance
with BS 8423:2002.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are
swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous
operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the open fire usage have not been
loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove.

DRAFT 24 Jul 2013
Page 5 of 5
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have
provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the
flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to
remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce
condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit
smoke and fumes into the room.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire
does occur turn off the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply (if applicable), and tightly
close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go
out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately. Do not relight the
stove until the chimney and flueway have been cleaned and examined by a professional.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into
the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any
circumstances be shut off or sealed.
USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the important notices given above before referring to the main instruction book for detailed
operating instructions.
Recommended fuels:
Please note that HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of wood logs on this appliance. HETAS
Ltd Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the recommended fuels listed
above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels. The stoves have a refuelling interval of 0.75h to
achieve the nominal rated output. Wood logs should be seasoned with a moisture content of around 20%.
De-Ashing:
It is important that you empty the ash pan at regular intervals and dispose of ash in a safe and
environmentally friendly manner. Always use the operating tools provided and replace the ashpit cover
correctly. DO NOT allow ash to build up underneath the bed as this may cause damage to the grate.

2.Installation instructions
2.1. Warning to the user
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can
cause serious accidents (chimney fires, burning of
plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).
The insulation of both the appliance and the exhaust
gas pipe has to be reinforced and done according to the
Standards and the Building Regulations for safety
reasons. The installation must be carried out according
to the Standards and the Building Regulations.
Failure to respect the mounting instructions leads to
engage the responsibility of the one doing the
installation.
The manufacturer’s responsibility shall be limited to the
supply of the appliance.
The installation of the appliance and the flue system
must be in accordance with current Building
Regulations. Failure to install the appliance with the
Building Regulations will lead to the appliance warranty
becoming in validated.
2.2. Location of the unit
Ventilation : For satisfactory appliance operation with
anatural draught, check that sufficient air for
combustion is available in the room. In houses
equipped with one VMC (controlled mechanical
ventilation), this one aspire and renew the ambient air;
in this case, the residence is under slight low pressure
and a non-sealable external air intake must be
installed in addition to the chimney itself, at least 50 cm²
in section.
When using a single wall flue pipe, there
must be a clearance (A) of at least three times its
diameter (B) from any combustible materials. If the
appliance has to be located in an opening, this distance
must be extended to a minimum clearance (A) of
450 mm from the pipe or the stove body to any
combustible materials.

appliance and 1200 mm above the hearth.
Il however, any part or sides of the appliance lies within
50 mm of the wall, then the wall should be of solid
non-combustible construction at least 200 mm thick from
floor level to a level of 300 mm above the top of the
appliance and 1200 mm above the hearth. Where the
hearth itself in at least 150 mm from an adjacent wall.
There is no requirement for protection of the wall. It
should be noted that these thicknesses of solid non-com-
bustible material can be substituted by thinner material if
the same overall level of protection can be achieved.
There must be a clearance of at least 350 mm at each
side (back and sides) of the appliance in accordance with
the below recommandations from a non combustible
wall. This distance must be extended to a minimum
clearance of 400 mm from any combustible material.
If any part of the back or sides of the appliance lies within
350 mm horizontally of the wall, than the wall should be
of solid non-combustible construction at least 75 mm
thick from level to a level of 300 mm above the top of the
This stove is exempted by DEFRA for burning wood logs
in UK Smoke Control Areas (SCA). DEFRA exemption is
dependent upon the appliance being fitted with a
mechanical stop to prevent closure of the secondary air
control beyond the 25% open position. You should check
that this stop mechanism is fitted before installation of the
stove and certainly before using the stove in a SCA to
burn wood logs. If the stop mechanism is fitted then the
minimum chimney flue diameter can be 125 mm but if the
stop mechanism is not fitted then the stove is not
exempted and the minimum chimney flue diameter is 150
mm in accordance with Approved Document J of the
building regulations.
Position of the unit : For
new installations, select a
central position within the
house, to provide a good heat
distribution around the
building. The heat distribution
towards the other rooms will
be made through the
communicating doors. These
rooms must be at low
pressure or fitted with
non-adjustable air registers,
placed so that they cannot be
obstructed, to encourage
circulation of the hot air.
Floor and walls : make sure
there are not combustible or
covered with non combustible
material. Otherwise it must be necessary to install a non
combustible protection.

Hearths are provided to prevent combustion appliances
setting fire to the building fabric and furnishings and to
limit the risk of people being accidentally burnt.
Therefore, they should be separated from adjacent
combustible materials and should be satisfactorily
delineated from surrounding floor finishes (carpets etc.)
as follows.
Combustible material should not be placed under a
constructional hearth for a solid fuel appliance within a
vertical distance of 250 mm from the upper surface of
the hearth, unless there is an airspace of at least 50 mm
the hearth.
Where a superimposed hearth has been placed onto a
constructional hearth, combustible material placed on
or besid the constructional hearth should not extend
under the superimposed hearth by more than 25 mm or
closer to the appliance than 150 mm.
Ensure that the hearth (superimposed or
constructional) is suitably delineated to discourage
combustible floor finishes from being laid too close to
the appliance, by marking the edges or providing a
change of level.
Position the appliance on the hearth such that
combustible marerial cannot be laid closer to the base
of the appliance than :
Hearth : The appliance must stand on a fireproof
hearth.
It is possible to provide a hearth made of non
combusible board/sheet material or tiles at least 12 mm
thick (C).
Constructional hearths should be constructed of solid
non combustible material at least 125 mm thick
(including the thickness of any non combustible floor
under the hearth).
The hearth must protrude at least 300 mm in front of the
stove and 150 mm each side.

2.4. Assembly of flue spigot and blanking

-The flue must be clean. It should be swept to remove
soot and dislodge tar deposits.
-The flue must be well insulated. If the flue inner wall
surfaces are cold, a good thermal draw is impossible
causing condensation problems (tar formation etc) to
occur.
-The flue must not be shared with other appliances.
-The chimney must be at least 4.5 m (15 ft high).
-In case of a flat roof or when the roof gradient is lower
than 15°, the stack must be 1,2 m (4 feet) high at least.
-If the chimney has any down draught tendency, due to
its position in relation to nearby obstacles, then an
anti-down draught cowl must be installed on the
chimney or the chimney height must be increased.
-If the decompression in the chimney is excessive, a
draught stabiliser must be installed.
Chimney to be built / new flue :
-The flue must not be supported by the stove.
-Consult a chimney specialist for advice on suitable
flue systems for solid fuel appliances. -The connection can be either vertical or horizontal. For
horizontal connections, avoid right angle bends.
-The join between the connection pipe and the
stovepipe, and the flue, must be leak tight.
-For the premises equipped with a mechanical
controlled ventilation, the airtightness has to prevent
the exhauster drawing out the smokes from the
exhaust gas pipe.
-The connection pipe and any draught stabiliser must
have access for cleaning.
-The spigot should be connected to a minimum of
125 mm flue system and in that case the appliance is
capable of burning untreated wood and recommended
solid fuels.
2.3. Flue
The chimney must comply with Current Building
Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or local
Building Inspector.
Existing flue :
-The flue must be in good condition and must provide
sufficient draught.
-The flue must be suitable for the installation of solid
fuel burning appliances and comply with Current
Building Regulations.
-Fit the sealing rope in the groove and attach the flue
- Any connection pipe must be suitable for use with solid
fuel burning appliances in accordance with Approved
Document J of the building regulations.
The connecting pipe must not reduce in diameter at any
point to less than the diameter of the outlet of the stove.

washers supplied.

2.7. Maintenance of the stove body
‡The stove must be regularly cleaned.
‡Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber
and clean the grate area.
‡The vitro ceramic glass can only be cleaned using a
soft cloth and stove glass cleaner, available from your
Franco Belge Dealer. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES
‡Thevitroceramic glassresistsa temperatureof750°C.
If the glass should be broken, it is recommended that
only an original factory replacement should be fitted.
For enamelled finishes, the stove body can be cleaned
using a soft cloth either dry, or slightly damp with a very
mild detergent.
NEVER CLEAN ENAMEL SURFACES WHILST THE
STOVE IS HOT.
The cast iron body panels of non-enamelled stoves can
be cleaned with a proprietary stove cleaner or
re-sprayed / touched up using a stove paint. These
products are available from your Franco Belge Dealer.
Caution ! : The appearance of cracks when burning the
enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear
when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be
considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the
enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service
ability.
2.8. Pre-utilisation check
Check the condition of the filler seals, that the door
closes correctly.
-Check that the glass is not damaged.
-Check that the smoke passages are not obstructed by
packaging or removable parts.
-Check that the seals of the smoke-line are in good
condition.
-Check that the doors close correctly.
-Check that all removable parts are correctly installed
(fuel retainer (fig. 9), oscillating grate (fig. 10), baffle
(fig. 3) etc...
-Fit the ash tray, located in the ash pan, between the
front legs (rep. 2, fig. 10).
Note : if it acts of a ceramics braid, it is consumable and
thus brought to be changed by the user.
2.9. Maintenance of the Chimney
Very important ! In order to avoid any incident
(chimney fire, etc...), maintenance tasks must be
carried out regularly.
If the appliance is regularly used, the chimney
should be swept several times per year, together
with the stovepipe connection section.
If the chimney catches fire, you must cut off the flue
draught, close the doors and windows, hatches and
keys and call the Fire Brigade without delay.

by the manufacturer.
Don’t run the stove in mild weather with coal : Under
certain circumstances (e.g. fog and repeated thaw)
the chimney will not draw sufficiently well and thus
be at the origin of asphyxia.
Awaiting better weather circumstances, don’t use
any coal but only wood.
At the first lighting, the fire must be progressively
increased to allow the various parts to expand normally
and to dry up.
Note : When the fire is lit for the first time, the stove may
give off fumes from the new paint. This is normal but
ensure the room is well ventilated during the first few
hours of operation.
Warning : properly installed and operated this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may
occur. Persistent fume emission is dangerous and must
not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist :
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire out and dispose of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been identified and
corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
Note : It is recommended to use a fireguard in the
presence of children, and also in the presence of old
and/or infirm people.
3.1. Fuel
This appliance is not an incinerator.
Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under a ventilated shelter.
Use hardwood that have a higher calorific value per cu
metre (Yoke-elm, oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech,
etc.). Large logs must be split and cut to an useful
length,before being stored in a shelteredandventilated
place.
•Recommended fuel :
The best fuels for use with the Franco Belge “Belfort”
are :
Seasoned wood. - hard wood logs that have been cut,
split and stored for at least two years with a minimum
moisture content of 20 % e.g. oak, beech, elm etc.
Anthracite – dry steam coal fuels as described in type A
– table B2 of the Standard – smokeless fuels along with
coalite and anthracite.
•Prohibited fuel :
Any form of housecoal (bituminous coal) or petroleum
based fuels.
We do not recommend that unseasoned wood (green
wood) is used due to it’s high levels of moisture which
will produce tar and in turn can cause the insides of the
stove and the lining of the chimney to become coated
which in turn could lead to a chimney fire.
We do not recommend recovered wood e.g railway
sleepers,chipboard, pallets are burned as these have
been treated and will product a great deal of pollution to
the environment and will overheat the appliance.

3.2. Instructions for use with wood
3.2.1. Lighting
Figure 8
•Slide the top air control (rep. B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel (rep. C1).
•Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate
with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling
wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
•Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper
and close the door.
•When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a
diameter up to 10 cm.
•When the stove body is very hot, close the lower spin
wheel.
•The burning rate can now be lowered by moving the
top air control to the left.
•The airwash system works with the top airslide. When
the top airslide is full open the system works at its
strongest efficiency.
•The more closed down the airslide is, the less effective
the airwash will be (when shut down completely, the
airwash system can not function).
3.2.2. Re-fuelling
Figure 8
-Slide the top air control (rep. B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel (rep. C1).
-Open the glass door and add logs.
-Leave the lower spin wheel open for a few minutes to
allow the initial volatiles in the wood to burn.
-Close the lower spin wheel.
3.3. Use with smokeless fuel

3.3.2. Re-fuelling
-Open the lower spin wheel.
-Open the glass door and add fuel.
-Leave the lower spin wheel open for a few minutes to
allow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.
-Adjust the lower spin wheel to the desired position.
3.4. De-ashing
•It is vital that the ashpan is regularly emptied.
•If the ashes are allowed to build up in the ashpan,
these will “sandwich” the grate between two layers of
ash and will cause damage and premature wear to the
grate.
•It is best to empty the ashpan when the appliance is
cold.
•Always remove the ashpan with the tool supplied.
•Dispose of the ashes carefully - there may still be hot
embers within the ashes.
3.5. Cleaning
It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build
up of ashes. The Belfort is equipped with a grate
riddling device which is used to “shake” ashes off the
grate into the ash pan.
Whenever the stove is burning without life when the
lower spin wheel is open, use the riddling lever to clear
the grate of surplus ashes.
REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUELCORRECTLY, AlR
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FLOW FROM THE ASH
PIT AREA THROUGH THE GRATE AND THROUGH
THE FUEL. IF THE GRATE OR ASH PAN ARE
CONGESTED, THE PERFOMANCE WILL BE
EFFECTED.
If burning solid fuel, always empty the ash pan at least
once a day or whenever it is full of ashes. Never allow
the ashpan to overfill allowing ash to be in contact with
the underside of the grate. If this condition is allowed,
the grate will wear out pre-maturely.
3.6. Maintenance of the chimney
Very important ! In order to avoid any incident
(chimney fire, etc...), maintenance tasks must be
carried out regularly.
If the appliance is regularly used, the chimney
should be swept several times per year, together
with the stovepipe connection section.
If the chimney catches fire, you must cut off the flue
draught, close the doors and windows, hatches and
keys and call the Fire Brigade without delay.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OF THE APPLIANCE
(OR AIR INLET)
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Chimney condition should be checked at least once per
year by a professional engineer.
3.7. Maintenance of the stove
•Theappliance must be cleaned regularly, together with
the connecting pipe and the flue pipe.
•Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber
and clean the grate area.
•The glass can be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened
with a mix of water and vinegar or a specialist stove
glass cleaning solution (obtainable from your local
stockist).
•This must only be done when the appliance is cold, Do
not use abrasive cleaners.
•Thevitro ceramic glassresistsatemperatureof 750°C.
If the glass should be broken, it is recommended that
only an original factory replacement should be fitted.
•Check that there are no obstructions before relighting
after a long period of disuse.
•The appliance must not be used with a flue serving
several appliances.
•The baffle plates should be removed regularly and any
ash or deposits cleaned away.
•Ashes must not be allowed to build up.
•The door rope seals should be checked annually and
replaced when required.
•The grates must be free from any obstructions always
ensure there are no pieces of dislodged fuel or embers
in between the grate castings.
For enamelled finishes, the stove body can be cleaned
using a soft cloth either dry, or slightly damp with a very
mild detergent.
NEVER CLEAN ENAMEL SURFACES
WHILST THE STOVE IS HOT.
The cast iron body panels of non-enamelled stoves can
be cleaned with a proprietary stove cleaner or
re-sprayed / touched up using a stove paint. These
products are available from your Franco Belge Dealer.
3.8. Recommendations
This room heater is a high heat producing appliance
and may cause severe burns if touched on the glass
front door, or on top directly over the burner.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
The stove may still be hot even when fire has burnt
out.
3.9. Firebricks
When replacing firebricks, the fire must be
progressively increased to allow the firebricks to
expand normally and to dry up.
