with EN 613 1995.
•
It is required by law that any appliance using natural or
LPG gas is installed by a competent person (e.g.
CORGI registered), in conjunction with the these
instructions and the requirements as laid down in the
following Regulations and British Standards :

APPLIANCE TO BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO
NATIONAL REGULATIONS.
•
The Belfort is a gas stove designed to run LPG.
•
The stove is a radiant convector fuel effect stove. The
Belfort can be placed directly inside any fireplace
opening of the dimensions noted within the installation
instructions.
•
Ensure that the stove corresponds to the type of gas it
is to be used with. This can be confirmed by checking
the data badge located on the rear face of the
appliance.
•
Prior to installation it is essential that the chimney
should be swept and its condition and suitability for use
with the appliance checked.
•
All surfaces except the control knob are considered to
be working surfaces.
2.1. Siting the appliance
The gas supply connection to the appliance is at the
rear right hand side. The connection requires 8 mm
diameter semi-rigid pipe, not more than 1 metre in
length.
The appliance can be installed in any adequate area
suitable for solid fuel fires and stoves.
The flue pipe required is either a single or double walled
pipe of 126 mm diameter.
2.1.1. Clearance requirements
If the appliance has to be located in an opening, there
must be a clearance of at least 50 mm at the left hand
of the appliance, 50 mm at the back of the appliance
and 50 mm above from any non-combustible materials
(as shown in figure 2).
This distance must be extended to a mininum clearance
of 80 mm from any combustible materials.
There should ideally be a minimum gap of 150 mm at
the right hand side of the stove (this will ensure the best
possible access to the control knob). This measurement
may be reduced to a minimum gap of 100 mm if needed
however extra care should be taken when operating the
control knob when the appliance is hot.
A combustible shelf may be fitted over the appliance,
provided that in the case of a 150 mm or less deep shelf,
there is at least 250 mm clearance above the top of the
stove. The shelf depth may increase at the same rate
as the increase in clearance ; i.e. a shelf depth of
200 mm would require a clearance of 300 mm.

should be noted when choosing a hearth :
•
The hearth must be made of non combustible material
of thickness 12 mm minimum.
•
The hearth must protrude at least 150 mm in front of
the stove and 150 mm each side.
