1.5. Principle of operation
The “Camargue” is designed for operation with thedoor
closed.
Heat is mainly diffused by radiation, through the window
and body of the appliance.
Combustion occurs on the grate, with draught entry
through the top of the grate, which assists the
combustion of volatile materials helping to keep the
glass clean during normal operation.

2.Installation instructions
2.1. The room
Ventilation :
For satisfactory operation with a natural draught, check
that sufficient air for combustion is available in the
room.
Chimney position :
For new chimney installations, select a central position
within the building, to provide a good heat distribution
around the building.
Hearth :
The hearth must be suitable for use with solid fuel
burning appliances and must comply with Current
Building Regulations. If in doubt, consult your Dealer or
local Building Inspector.
Rear wall and ceiling :
The appliance must not be positioned close to
combustible materials, wall & ceiling surfaces etc.,
Consult your Dealer or local Building Inspector if in
doubt.
2.2. Flue
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.
- 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 recommended minimum flue height is 5 metres.
- 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 / Flue non-existent :
- The flue must not be supported by the stove.
- Consult a chimney specialistforadvice on suitable flue
systems for solid fuel appliances.
2.3. Connection to flue
The stove must be installed as close as possible to the
chimney.
- The stove should be connected to the flue by a smoke
pipe, approved forinstallation with combustion products
(e.g. stainless steel 1 mm thick, 20g, or vitreous
enamel.).
- Pipe diameter must not be less than the appliance
spigot diameter.
- The connection can be either vertical orhorizontal. For
horizontal connections, avoid right angle bends.
- The join between the connection pipe and the
stovepipe, and the flue, must be leak tight.
- The connection pipe and any draught stabiliser must
have access for cleaning.
To avoid damage during transport, the four legs and the
bottom heat shield are not mounted when the stove is
shipped from the factory. These parts should be fitted
carefully to avoid damaging the appliance.

2.8. Chimney maintenance and sweeping
Very important : To avoid any incident (chimney fire,
etc.), regular maintenance should be carried out. If the
stove is regularly used, the chimney should be swept
several times per year, together with the stovepipe
connection section. Chimney condition should be
checked at least once per year.
3.Instructions for user
3.1. Fuel
Recommended fuel :Wood with the grate provided
- Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under shelter.
- Hardwood has a higher calorific value per cu metre
(oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech, etc.).
- Large logs must be split and cut to a usable length,
before being stored in a sheltered and ventilated place.
Recommended fuel with the coal grate 308710
Smokeless fuels, including coolite nuts, phurnacite,
ancit and extracite.
Not recommended as fuel :
- “green wood”. Green or damp wood reduces stove
efficiency and soils the glass, the internal walls and the
flue (soot, tar, etc.).
- “used timbers”. Burning treated wood (railway
sleepers, telegraph poles, offcuts of plywood or chip
board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways (soot,
tar, etc.), pollutes the environment (pollution and smell,
etc.) and cause the fire to burn too quickly and
overheat.
“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually
cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuel : Homefire and any form of bituminous
coal or petroleum based coke.
3.2. Instructions for use with wood
3.2.1. Lighting
Figure 9
• Slide the top air controllever to the right (B2) and open
the lower spin wheel (C2).
• Place firelighters (or rolled newspaper and kindling
wood) on the grate and place two or three small logs on
top of the firelighters.
• Light the firelighters or paper and close the appliance
door.
• When the fire is burning fairly fiercely, add further logs
(max. diameter 10 cms).
• Further fuel should not be added if wood is smoking.
•Whenlightingupforthefirsttime,thefireshouldbe
built up gradually, to allow the components to expand
and set without shock.
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 operation.
Similarly, the window can become cloudy by the
evaporation of the water in the refractory bricks.

3.2.2. 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.
3.3. Control of fire
The stove must operate with the door closed and the
cast iron top correctly installed. Burning rate is
controlled by the slide lever above the door. The lighting
flap (bottom spin wheel) must be closed during normal
operation.
To load fuel, the doorshould be opened slowly, avoiding
a sudden rush of intake air, so that smoke does not
escape into the room.
For a briskly burning fire, there should always be at
least two logs in the grate. The fire will burn better if
there are several logs (diameter 7.5 to 10 cms).
For a slower burning fire (for example, at night), select
larger logs.
3.4. Cleaning
Remove ash until glowing ashes start falling into the
pan.
Remove ashes daily, and never allow ash in the ash
compartment to touch the underside of the grate.
Failure to observe this instruction will cause premature
wear to the grate and other components.
Empty the ashes taking all the usual precautions for
handling glowing ashes.
3.5. Maintenance of the stove
• 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
• The vitro ceramic glass resists a temperature of
750°C. If the glass should be broken, itis 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
STOVEISHOT.
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 avai-
lable 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. ❑
3.6. Trouble Shooting
