RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Fuel:
This appliance burns (well dried!) wooden logs and
logs of compressed wood shavings.
Do not put too much wood in at once.
This appliance may not under any circumstances be
used as an
incinerator!
2. The first fire:
- Bakes the paint, which causes a release of fumes.
- Put the fans on maximum speed to disperse them (for around 12 hours).
Ventilate the room!
Do not touch the paint until the fireplace has cooled down as initially it softens,
then hardens for good.
3. With each fire you must:
- Close the door of the ash box.
- Position the grill properly.
- Turn on the fan.

1. The gate: Never leave it open when the
appliance is in operation. Always close it before
opening the door. Never open it when the door is
open.
1.Use:
1.1. Description of elements
2. The thermostat: It regulates the quantity of pri-
mary air for combustion according to its position.
Its valve closes and opens according to the tem-
perature of the combustion chamber. Its control
knob is telescopic to facilitate operation.
3. The ashtray door: It gives access to the ashtray
and to the deashing arm. It must always be closed
during a fire (otherwise the combustion air is no
longer under control and the fire flares up →ove-
rheating of appliance).
4. The deashing arm: To use it, pull it towards you.
It is used to adapt the fireplace to the type of fuel
(left-hand position: open grill for coal; right-hand
posi¬tion: closed grill for wood). Deashing is
done by moving it from right to left.
5. The ashtray: In the form of a shovel to enable
collection of ashes right at the bottom of the
appliance. Monitor the amount of ash in the ash-
tray and empty it before it overflows.
7. Door lock and removable handle: With the gate
closed, place the removable handle in the hole in
the door to open and close the door.
8. The closing lever: This lever must be operated to
close the gate.
9. The microswitch: A switch that automatically
stops the fan on opening the door.
10. The fan filters: They stop the fans clogging up
and stop dust from circulating. They can be remo-
ved for cleaning without the use of a tool.
11. Fireplace identification label.
6. The pair of grills: The upper grill is made of spe-
cial heat-resisting steel. The lower grill is made of
heat-resisting cast iron. The upper grill is operated
by the deashing arm.
12. Refractory bricks: natural material that protects
the heating unit whilst limiting varia¬tions in tem-
perature.
13. The distributor: It enables regular distribution of
primary air.
14. The case: It delimits the convection box.
15. The log guard: For safety. It prevents logs
coming into contact with the glass.
16. The inner door: This is a hardwearing stainless
steel seal, to guarantee airtightness of the door and
trouble-free clearing of smoke from the glass.
17. The baffle: Made of heat-resisting stainless steel,
it lengthens the path of fumes optimising secon-
dary combustion and increasing heat transfer.

3. Fuse (Remove the knob, unscrew the plate,
remove old fuse, replace with identical fuse).
1.2. Opening - closing the door
1.3. Fire behaviour
Quality wood is:
- Dry wood that has been drying for at least 2 years in a ventilated
sheltered area.
- Use logs from broad-leaved trees in preference to those from coni
fers, which tend to burn quickly and produce lots of soot. In order
of preference: hornbeam, oak, beech.
- It is also possible to use logs of compressed wood shavings and
briquettes.
An excessive load of wood leads to:
- A reduction in yield and an increase in wood consumption.
- A significant loss of heat through the chimney.
- Premature ageing of the fireplace.
During the fire, open the door slowly. Opening it suddenly
causes a temporary backdraft of fumes.
To close the door: lift the handle, press the door against the
heating unit so that the seal is gently compressed, then lower
the handle until it is locked.
It is normal for the fan to cut out when opening the
door.
A. Cold convection air
B. Hot convection air
W. Combustion air
X. Primary combustion
Y. Secondary combustion (post combustion)
Z. Fumes
The quality and the drying of the wood are of prime
importance for the fireplace to operate at its best
(heater power and yield, cleanliness of glass).

6 Scope
1.3.2. Ideal rate for good yield
1. Choose split logs (1,2 or 3 depending on the quantity of heat needed).
2. Try to pile them in staggered rows to encourage gas exchanges.
3. Put the thermostat on 7-8.
4. Put the fan on maximum .
1.3.1. Lighting
1. Open the air control to maximum: thermostat 9.
Place the grill in open position (lever to the left).
2. Lay firelighter or crumpled-up newspaper.
Finish off with kindling.
The use of inflammable liquids is prohibited.
Lay 2-3 split logs (depending on size).
3. Set light to it.
4. To avoid condensation of fumes on the glass and to facilitate star
ting the fire: Leave the door slightly ajar to prevent the glass
sooting up, as its still too low temperature causes condensation
and deposit of particles.
5. As soon as there are strong flames and the glass is sufficiently warm, close the door completely.
6. Start the fan (Variator ON)
7. When the fire is blazing and the appliance is hot, close the grill (lever to the right), close the ashtray
and adjust the thermostat to the required position.
8. Adapt the fan speed to the quantity of hot air you need. But when there is a fire, it must ALWAYS be
turned to at least the minimum.
1.3.3. Reduced rate and long-lasting combustion
The maximum permitted load in one go at reduced rate is 7kg.
1. Keep a 3 to 5 cm bed of embers at the bottom of the fireplace.
2. Choose logs with a very wide section.
3. Position the thermostat according to the draught of your chimney. A redu-
ced rate is generally achieved between 0 and 3. This kind of load can only be
used at reduced rate, to produce a long-lasting fire.
Piling logs in parallel encourages a long-lasting fire. Add more logs when there are only embers left, just
after the last flames die out.
Continuous use at reduced rate may, through condensation, cause an accumulation of soot in the
chimney, and thereby a risk of chimney fire, and dirty the glass more quickly.
For better yield, it is best to have the thermostat on 7-8 and load log-by-log depending
on the quantity of heat you need.
This also enables you to keep the glass, bricks and chimney cleaner.
The maximum permitted load at maximum rate is 4kg/hr

ATTENTION !
- Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
- Spray the product* on the centre of the glass, then spread it using a cloth or absorbent paper.
- Do not use water and/or cleaning products on the painted areas.
- For stubborn marks, it is possible to use a blade for scraping ceramic hobs.
*We recommend use of the cleaning product “BG Clean”, available from your dealer.
“BG Clean”does not contain caustic soda and is biodegradable.
ASHTRAY DOOR
Check the condition of the seal and if necessary replace it to ensure airtightness.
Check the operation of the spring clip.
AIR DISTRIBUTOR
Where necessary, unblock the air inlet holes.
GRILLS
Make sure that there are no obstacles restricting their movement.
DUST FILTERS
Clean them with a vacuum cleaner and, where necessary, with water. New filters can be obtained form
your supplier.

PAINTING METAL PARTS
Do not use water and/or cleaning products on painted parts.
Stained areas may be restored using special B&G high temperature aerosol paint, which is available from
your dealer.
LUBRICATION
With frequent use, it is recommend that the following parts be lubricated annually:
- door and gate: hinges and lock.
- thermostat: control shaft.
FANS
Disconnect the electricity supply, remove the filter supports (remove the 2 locking screws), disconnect the
fans then remove them. Clean the impeller blades using a brush (compressed air is prohibited). Reassem-
ble everything.
REFRACTORY BRICKS
A split brick may still play a protective role. However, a missing piece will need to be replaced to maintain
effective protection of the heating unit. Individually, bricks are easily-replaceable wear parts. It is recom-
mended that you change a part that is too damaged.
CHIMNEY-SWEEPING
Have the chimney swept at least once a year, not only to
comply with the law, but also for safety reasons.
- Remove the baffle, as shown in the drawing.
- Place the grill in closed position (wood).
- Close the door, thermostat and ashtray door.
- Simply clean up any fallen dust with a vacuum cleaner.
Take advantage of the chimney-sweeping to check the con-
dition of the chimney and connections.
- Reposition the baffle following the instructions in reverse.
2.2. Annual servicing
DO NOT USE NORMAL LUBRICANT. At high temperatures the latter will dry out and cause seizing up. If
necessary, clean the surfaces thoroughly, then apply a LUBRICANT RESISTANT TO HIGH TEMPERATURES,
available from your dealer.

1. Flue
Recommendations
The flue must be built according to good practice, the most impor-
tant elements of which are as follows:
- Minimum height (distance between connection and top of
chimney stack) will be 5 m.
- Section: Ø 200 cm to Ø 180 cm*
Min 0,4 m
- the flue must be heat insulated.
- the chimney outlet (stack) and its location are very important, it is
absolutely necessary that the outlet has a cowl to prevent
rain reaching the fireplace.
Ask advice from a chimney maker (any device
contracting the section of the outlet must be avoided).
- the presence of obstacles near the
chimney outlet must be taken into account.
- An individual flue does not have more than 2 can
tings (i.e. changes in direction). The angle of these can
tings with the vertical generally speaking should not
exceed 20°, or 45° for a smooth metal flue.
- The flue must allow recovery of soot (sweepable).
- Only connect one appliance per flue.
FOR AN EXISTING FLUE:
It is essential to check, in addition to airtightness, emptiness and overall sta-
bility, the compatibility of the fireplace and if necessary, line the flue, or even
modify the chimneystack.
*the section of the chimney can be reduced to this value
in the case of a straight chimney of min. 6 m, insula
ted, without change in section with chimney outlet away from areas affected by wind.
Make sure however that this reduction in section is as high up as possible
(for example: reduce the section at the level of connection with the ceiling).

DRAUGHT REGULATOR or MODERATOR
When one or several parameters of the flue (e.g. large height) cause
concern about a very high draught (over 40 Pa), it is advisable to fit an
automatic draught regulator.
It must always be installed as near as possible to the fireplace and out-
side the hood or inside the hood if it is easily visible and accessible. It
must be easy to supervise.
2. Combustion air and outside air supply:
When a fireplace burns wood, it consumes air, which
means that a certain quantity of air exits by the chim-
ney D.
This air must be compensated for by the normal
inlets, A and B, and if the latter are insufficient, a new
clean air inlet C must be added. The presence of a
ventilator hood in the same living space creates an
additional air outlet D’, which must also be compen-
sated for.
Indicative value of C in accordance with the diameter
of the chimney and the airtightness of the house:
- Ø 20 cm chimney -> inlet Ø 10 cm (79 cm²)
- Ø 18 cm chimney -> inlet Ø 9 cm (64 cm²)
- Preferably, this inlet will be near the fireplace. This is in order to avoid currents of cold air across the
room, a vacuum in the premises and to help let fresh air in.
3. Convection air (hot air):
Hot air produced by the fireplace leaves directly by the space above the door.
However, it is possible to connect, in addition, 2 hot air pipes on the top of the fireplace. This allows even
more heat to be extracted and/or the heat to be sent to a different room from the one where the fire-
place is situated. The contribution of these outlets remains restricted to +/- 1 KW per outlet. Heat-insula-
ted pipes are recommended for the appliance to work at its best (they create a «draught» for convection
air).
When installing these pipes, limit the length and changes in direction, bend at an angle at the widest
change in direction and avoid the use of outlet grills with a low permeability coefficient, as the resulting
losses in speed reduce the effectiveness of hot air outlets.

Scope 17
OK!
OK!
- If hot air is sent to another room, it is essential to fit an air return port with section at least equivalent to
the hot air outlets. This is very important so as not to create a vacuum in the room, which would cause
the fireplace to malfunction.
- Convection air circuits must also be taken into account (see the convection diagrams below).
4. Installation
4.1.Recommendations
- The chimney must be suitable.
- To avoid losses of heat in the pipes, it is recommended that they are insulated.
- The fireplace must be level.
- Check that the door works properly (side opening).
- After connection to the chimney, we advise you to light a fire.
- It is possible not to insulate the fireplace at all. In this case, it is essential that air can circulate around
the fireplace, which allows at the same time for heat to be recovered. The decorative chimney must then
allow clean air to enter at the bottom and leave at the top. (See drawing in 4.2.)
However if the fireplace is against one of the outside walls of the house, it is preferable to insulate it
from this wall.
- COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS: they are to be prohibited in the immediate surroundings of the fireplace, hot
air outlets and the chimney flue. A safe distance on the floor of 80 cm is required. Please note that when
opening the door, burning embers can be projected several metres.
- INSULATING MATERIALS: use «HIGH TEMPERATURE» materials like certain rock wools. In all cases, these
materials must not be in contact with convection air (DO NOT USE GLASS WOOL).

4.4.Putting the fireplace in place:
1. Dismantle the removable parts.
- the baffle (see dismantling the baffle).
- the refractory bricks and grills.
2. Introduce and position the fireplace in the alcove. Make sure it is level (front/back and left/right).
3. Connect the hot air collars, if necessary, via the chimney outlet.
4. Through the inside of the fireplace, look for the collar and pull it until it jams. Then pull down the
bottom retainers.
4.3.Electricity
- Remove the filter support from your chosen side corresponding to the power supply (unscrew the 2
fixing screws, then pivot them and remove the filter support).
- Bring the flexible power cable to face the port fitted in the appliance. Make sure there is enough length
for the connection and for any subsequent simple maintenance. If, in order to connect, you have remo
ved a protective plug, place it on the unused connector of the second fan.
All installation and maintenance operations on the fan and the variator must be done
with the power supply disconnected.
- Clear the way for connection to the chimney and,
if necessary, the hot air pipes. Remove any hoods
and dampers.
- Insulate the outside walls.
- In the case of new building work, it is PROHIBITED
to rest the building work on top of the Scope.
