3.2. Lighting
(
Figure 7)
- Slide the air control (position C or position A for a
easier lighting ).
- 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.
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.
The burning rate can now be adjusted by moving
the air control to the right. Experience will show
you which settings are best for your situation.
3.3. Operating procedure
The appliance must function with the suitably
closed doors (rep. D et E).
The burning rate
(position M) can be adjusted by
the air control flap. Experience will show you which
settings are best for your situation.
The airwash system works with the airslide. When the
airslide is full open the system works at its strongest
efficiency (position C).
The more closed down the airslide is, the less effective
the airwash will be (when shut down completely, the
airwash system can not function).
Loading the fuel :
It is advisable to wait for the fire to be reduced to hot
embers before re-loading. The door should also be
opened slowly when re-loading.
The minimum reloading interval for nominal heat
output is 45 mn.
- The logs must be placed on the glowing embers.
- For a briskly burning fire, there should always be at
east two logs in the fire. The fire will burn better if
there are several logs.
- For a slower burning fire (for example, at night),
select larger logs.
- Close the loading door (E).
- Open the lighting flap for a while.
3.4. Cleaning
It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build
up of ashes.
REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUEL CORRECTLY,
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.
3.5. Maintenance of the Chimney
Very important :
In order to avoid any incident
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.
3.6. Maintenance of the stove body
• The appliance 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 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.
• 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.
• To maintain the grates ventilation free of any
obstruction,
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.
3.7. 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.
The stove may still be HOT even when fire has burnt
out.
