3.2. Lighting

- Open the lower spin wheel.
- Place firelighters (or rolled newspaper and kindling

wood) on the grate and place two or three small logs on

top of the firelighters.
- Light the firelighters or paper and close the appliance

door.
- When the fire is burning fairly fiercely, add further logs

(max. diameter 10 cms).
- Further fuel should not be added if wood is smoking.
When lighting up for the first time, the fire should be built

up gradually, to allow the components to expand and

set without shock.

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 operation.
Similarly, the window can become cloudy by the

evaporation of the water in the refractory bricks.

3.3. Control of fire

The stove must operate with the

door closed and the

cast iron top correctly installed

. Burning rate is

controlled by the draught flap (bottom spin wheel).

To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly, avoiding

a sudden rush of intake air, so that smoke does not

escape into the room.

For a briskly burning fire, there should always be at

least two logs in the grate. The fire will burn better if

there are several logs (diameter 7.5 to 10 cms).

For a slower burning fire (for example, at night), select

larger logs.

3.4. Cleaning

Remove ash until glowing ashes start falling into the

pan

Remove ashes daily, and never allow ash in the ash

compartment to touch the underside of the grate.

Failure to observe this instruction will cause premature

wear to the grate and other components.
Empty the ashes taking all the usual precautions for

handling glowing ashes

3.5. Maintenance of the stove

¤ 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.
¤ All covering and finishing panels can be rubbed with a

soft brush, dry, or wiped over with a slightly damp cloth.

In the event of condensation or accidentally splashing

water on the stove, clean the areas concerned before

they dry.

Caution ! :

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.
This crackling is more apparent with the blue enamel

than with the brown and green.
