- Upon releasing the knob, the permanent pilot light will be
lit.
3.4.1. Running the stove at low setting
- Ignite permanent pilot as shown above
- With control knob at ‘PILOT’ setting, depress and turn in
an anti clockwise, direction to ‘LOW‘ setting
- Release the knob. The stove is now burning at its lowest
operating output.
Important : Immediately after lighting, the stove must be
left on maximum setting for five minutes in order to warm
up the chimney.
Running the stove at a higher output
- Ignite stove to ‘low’ setting by following instructions abo-
ve.
- Output can be increased, by turning the control knob
progressively in a clockwise direction until the desired
level is achieved, up to a maximum as shown by the ‘HIGH’
symbol on the control panel.
3.4.2. Extinguishing the stove back to permanent
pilot setting
- From any heat setting, depress control knob fully and
turn clockwise to ‘PILOT’ position.
- Release.
3.4.3. Extinguishing the stove fully
- From any heat setting or the permanent pilot, depress
control knob fully and turn clockwise to ‘OFF’ position.
3.5. Safety mechanisms
The Belfort in both natural gas and LPG, incorporates a
number of safety mechanisms.
3.5.1. Flame supervision device
Since 1st January 1996, under the new European standard
EN5613, all stoves are required to have a ‘Flame Supervi-
sion Device’ (FSD). If the pilot should become accidentally
extinguished, there exists a potential for a build up of
unburned gas. In this situation the FSD will automatically
cut off the gas supply to the pilot and main burner.
The FSD device works on a thermocouple basis. Next to
the pilot flame on the appliance is a small sensor contai-
ning the thermocouple. This sensor responds to heat and
is linked directly to the gas inlet supply on the appliance.
When lighting the stove, there is a need to keep the control
knob depressed for about 15 - 20 seconds. This allows the
thermocouple to reach its operating temperature. The de-
vice will not allow any gas to enter the burner until the pilot
flame has heated the sensor up to this operating tempera-
ture.
If the pilot is extinguished the gas supply will be
automatically cut.
3.5.2. Thermostatic switch (ttb)
The appliance is fitted with a thermostatic switch (TTB)
which senses any excess temperature due to a flue block-
age. In the event of a partial or total blockage the gas
supply will be automatically cut. Should this occur turn the
control knob to the off position and wait approximately 10
minutes for the switch to automatically reset.
Re-light the stove in accordance with section 5 ‘Operating
the stove’.
On repeated operation of the thermostatic switch the stove
should be turned off and under no circumstances re-lit until
specialist advice has been obtained from your dealer.
3.5.3. Ignition mechanism
Many gas stoves have electric ignition which requires
mains (240V) supply. This can create problems both with
the presence of water or absence of mains supply. The
Belfort has a Piezo ignition which requires no external
power source. The piezo works on the same principle as a
cigarette lighter, providing a spark when required.
3.6. Cleaning
Ensure that the stove is turned off before cleaning and do
not attempt to clean if the unit is still hot.
The coals within the appliance are manufactured from high
quality ceramic fibre and should only be arranged as
shown in the coal layout diagram.
After continued use there may be a build up of soot on the
coals which will require removal. Any form of deposits will
reduce the performance of the appliance and should be
removed using a soft brush.. Cleaning should be underta-
ken with a soft brush or alternatively with a vacuum
cleaner; care should of course be taken to ensure the
aperture of the vacuum is smaller than the smaller coal
size.
Care should also be taken to ensure deposits from the
chimney do not fall into the appliance. If this does occur
then cleaning should be undertaken promptly, and the
cause investigated before further use.
The Belfort Stove is supplied with ceramic coals, which are
to be arranged by the fitter in strict accordance with the
installation instructions. There should be no need for the
purchaser to alter the layout of the coals and it is recom-
mended that such a practice should be avoided if at all
possible.
Should however any coals become broken during the clea-
ning process it is essential that replacements are purcha-
sed, as there is an optimum number of coals for a
satisfactory functioning of the stove and the flame picture.
To clean the appliance open the door by releasing the door
latch (page 2, fig. 4, # 1). The door should be shut cor-
rectly before use of the appliance.
3.7. Servicing
It is essential that the appliance is regularly serviced
and maintained by a qualified person, and the chimney
or flue system checked annually.
If the appliance is heavily used is advisable to
under take more regular servicing, however under
normal circumstances annual servicing should be
sufficient.
