1.5. Principle of operation
The “ Limousin ” is designed for operation with the door

and body of the appliance.
Combustion occurs on the grate, with draught entry
through the top of the combustion chamber when using
wood and under the grate when using coal.

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.
-The flue must not be supported by the stove.
-Consult a chimney specialist for advice on suitable
flue systems for solid fuel appliances.
2.3. Assembly of flue spigot
and blanking plates
The stove is supplied with a connection flue spigot with
an inner diameter of 153 mm.
2.3.1. Smoke exit at rear

•Remove the flue baffle (# 37, fig. 7, p. 11).
•Fit the sealing rope 2in the groove at rear and fix the
flue collar 1with 3 bolts and washers supplied.
•Replace the flue baffle (# 37, fig. 7, p. 11).
•Replace the top plate.

2.3.2. Smoke exit on the top
Figure 4
•Remove the top plate 4.
•Remove the flue baffle (# 37, fig. 7, p. 11).
•Remove the blanking plate 3and the clamp 5and refit
them at the rear, ensuring there is a good seal.
•Fix the flue collar1on the top with 3 bolts and washers
supplied, ensuring there is a good seal.
•Replace the flue baffle (# 37, fig. 7, p. 11).
•Replace the top plate.
In this case, the cut-out of the heat shield must not be
remove.
2.4.Connectiontoflue
-The stove must be installed as close aspossible to the
chimney.
-The stove should be connected to the flue by a smoke
pipe, approved for installation 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 or horizontal.For
horizontal connections, avoid right angle bends.
-Thejoinbetweentheconnectionpipeandthe
stovepipe, and the flue, must be leak tight.
-The connection pipe and any draught stabiliser must
have access for cleaning.
2.5. Mounting the tray
To avoid damage during transport, the tray has been
stored behind the main door.
-Fix the tray, on the appliance (ill. 5). Center on tab “A”
and lower into place.
2.6. Chimney maintenance and sweeping
Very important : To avoid accidents (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.
First remove the two retainer grates (# 30, fig. 7, p. 11),
the three side bricks (# 15, 27 & 28, fig. 7, p. 11) and
the flue baffle (# 37, fig. 7, p. 11)
Chimney condition should be checked at least once per
year.

3.Instructions for user
3.1. Fuel
•Recommended fuel :Wood with the grate provided
(code 309231)
-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 (code
308712)
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. Instruction for use with wood
3.2.1. lighting
Figure 6
•Slide the top air control (# B1) and the lower air control
(# C1) to the right. Open the lower spin wheel (# C1).
•Open the front door and 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 (# A).
•When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a
diameter up to 10 cms.
•When the stove body is very hot, close the lower air
control (# C2).
-The burning rate can now be adjusted by moving the
top air control to the left (# B1). Experience will show
you which settings are best for your situation.
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.
3.2.2. Re-fuelling
Itisadvisabletowaitforthefiretobereducedtohot
embers before re-loading. The door should also be
opened slowly when re-loading.
3.3. Instructions for use with solid fuel
3.3.1. Lighting
•Closethetopaircontrolbyslidingittotheleft(#B2).
•Open the lower air control by sliding it to the right
(# C1).
•Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate
with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling
wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
•Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper
and close the door.
•When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
•When the stove body is hot, adjust the burning rate
with the lower air control (# C).
3.3.2. Re-fuelling
•Open the lower air control (# C1).
•Open the front door and add fuel.
•Leave the lower air control open for a few minutes to
allow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.
•Adjust the lower air control to the desired position
(# C).
3.4. Cleaning
It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build
up of ashes.
REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUEL CORRECTLY,
AlRSHOULDBEALLOWEDTOFLOWFROMTHE
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.
3.5. 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
•The vitro ceramic glass resists a temperature of 750°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.
