Figure 9
- Slide the top air control (# B1) to the right. Open the
lower spin wheel (# C1).
- 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 spin
wheel (# 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.
3.3. Re-fuelling
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.
3.4. Cleaning
It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build
up of ashes.
REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUEL CORRECTLY, AIR
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FLOW FROM THE ASH
PIT AREA THROUGH THE GRATE AND THROUGH
TH E FUEL. IF THE GRATE OR ASH PAN ARE
C O N G E S T E D, T H E P E R F O R M A N C E W I L L B E
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 clea ned with a prop rie tar y stove cleaner or
re-sprayed / touched up using a stove paint. These
products are available from your Franco Belge Dealer.
