3. Instructions for user
The manufacturer will not be responsible for damages
on parts of the appliance due to the use of prohibited
fuel or due to an alteration of the appliance or its
installation.
Only use replacement parts supplied
by the manufacturer.
Don’t run the stove in mild weather with
smokeless fuels : Under certain circumstances
(e.g. fog and repeated thaw) the chimney will not
draw sufficiently well and thus be at the origin of
asphyxia.
Awaiting better weather circumstances, don’t use
any coal but only wood.
At the first lighting, the fire must be progressively
increased to allow the various parts to expand normally
and to dry up.
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.
Warning :
properly installed and operated this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling may
occur. Persistent fume emission is dangerous and must
not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist :
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire out and dispose of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the
fume emission has been identified and corrected. If
necessary seek expert advice.
Note
: It is recommended to use a fireguard in the
presence of children, and also in the presence of old
and/or infirm people.
3.1. Fuel
This appliance is not an incinerator.
Use hard wood logs, which have been cut for at least
two years and stored, under a ventilated shelter.
Use hardwood that have a higher calorific value per cu
metre (Yoke-elm, oak, ash, maple, birch, elm, beech,
etc.). Large logs must be split and cut to an useful
length, before being stored in a sheltered and ventilated
place.
•
Recommended fuel :
The best fuels for use with the
Franco Belge “Savoy” are :
Seasoned wood. - hard wood logs that have been cut,
split and stored for at least two years with a minimum
moisture content of 20 % e.g. oak, beech, elm etc.
Anthracite – dry steam coal fuels as described in type A
– table B2 of the Standard – smokeless fuels along with
coalite and anthracite.
•
Prohibited fuel :
Any form of housecoal (bituminous
coal) or petroleum based fuels.
We do not recommend that unseasoned wood (green
wood) is used due to it’s high levels of moisture which
will produce tar and in turn can cause the insides of the
stove and the lining of the chimney to become coated
which in turn could lead to a chimney fire.
We do not recommend recovered wood e.g railway
sleepers,chipboard, pallets are burned as these have
been treated and will product a great deal of pollution to
the environment and will overheat the appliance.
