3.3. Instructions for use with solid fuel

3.3.1. lighting

Figure 8

Slide the top air control (# B1) to the right. Open the

lower spin wheel.

Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate

with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry kindling

wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.

Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper

and close the door.

When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.

When the stove body is hot, close the top air control by

sliding to the left.

The burning rate can now be adjusted by rotating the

lower spin wheel.

3.3.2. Re-fuelling

Open the lower spin wheel.

Open the glass door and add fuel.

Leave the lower spin wheel open for a few minutes to

allow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.

Adjust the lower spin wheel to the desired position.

3.4. Cleaning

It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build

up of ashes. The Belfort is equipped with a grate

riddling device which is used to "shake" ashes off the

grate into the ash pan.

Whenever the stove is burning without life when the

lower spin wheel is open, use the riddling lever to clear

the grate of surplus ashes.

REMEMBER TO BURN SOLID FUEL CORRECTLY,

AlR SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FLOW FROM THE

A S H P I T A R E A T H R O U G H T H E G R AT E A N D

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 stove

•

The appliance must be regularly cleaned.

•

Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber

and clean the grate area.

•

Cleaning of the glass door can be done with a soft cloth

dampened with water and vinegar or potassium ; this

must be done when the appliance is cold ; then rinse

with clear water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

•

The "vitroceramic" glass will resists to temperatures of

up to 750 C. Should the glass break due to misuse, it

must be replaced by the manufacturers own product.

•

All the casing parts can be cleaned using a soft cloth

either dry, or slightly damp. In case of condensation or

water splashes clean the parts before they dry out.

Warning ! The appearance of cracks when burning the

enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear

when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be

considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the

enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service

ability.

3.6. 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 - keep

children away.

The stove may still be hot even when fire has burnt

out.

3.7. Firebricks

progressively increased to allow the firebricks to

expand normally and to dry up.
