1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. FOREWORD
We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of this modern Bellfires
built-in wood fire. This quality product will give you years of heating pleasure as
you enjoy the play of the flames and the cosy glow of the fire.
This manual contains directions for both positioning the appliance and for its
environmentally-friendly use. It also contains technical data for the appliance,
parts information and directions in the event of problems. Study this manual
carefully before using the stove. We recommend you keep this manual in a safe
place for reference purposes.
1.2. SAFETY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
• Do not place flammable objects within 150 cm of the appliance. Pay special
attention to furnishings and ornaments around the fire.
• When you use your fire, the exterior will become hot. Always wear the glove
or use the accessories supplied when filling etc. Protect yourself and others
(especially children!) from burns. Do not leave children unattended when the
fire is burning.
• Watch your clothing. Synthetic clothing in particular can easily catch fire and
burn intensely.
• Do not approach the appliance with flammable materials or liquids. Any work
with solvents, adhesives etc. in the space heated by the fire 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. Make sure you get proper advice from
your Bellfires dealer or other specialist company.
• Avoid chimney fires! Have your chimney swept at least once per year - more
often if you use your fire a lot. Prevent excessive deposits of soot inside the
chimney by not burning freshly-cut wood. Instead, burn clean, dry chopped
wood.

Instructions for use and installation instructions
• Do not use your built-in fire as a barbecue. This can cause (flammable) fat
deposits to be left in the chimney and hastens the chimney becoming clogged.
Prevent your chimney being soiled from above (birds’ nests etc.) by fitting a
suitable cap to the chimney pot.
• Follow the instructions issued by your local fire brigade.
The fire can be taken in operation if national and local regulations are
satisfied. The required constructive adaptations should be satisfied as well.
Installation instructions
• Wood and wood briquettes may be stoked in the fire.
Coals can’t be burned in the fire.
• Never use the appliance to burn rubbish.
• Please read all instructions/stickers on and around the appliance.
• Please also study the directions for use before using the appliance for the
first time. When you first fire up your appliance, there are a number of extra
points you should take into account. See chapter 6.
• In transit, some parts of the appliance may have moved from their original
place. The Slide Bell is a built-in fire with lift door. Check that the door opens
and closes, the retardant plates (brake plates) are fitted correctly to the
brackets at the top of the fire, the interior panels are fixed to the walls and
the stones on the bottom have not moved.
• Avoid over-loading (white burning glow), caused, for example, by lengthy
burning with a fully open primary air vent (combustion air supply slider all
the way to “ +”), or by burning too much wood in one go. The fire can then
become over-heated.
• The appliance may only be set up if the appliance and location meets the
- national and local installation regulations;
- local fire brigade regulations and required architectural provisions.
