Page 2: Burner Operation
A Franco Belge oil stove is the result of many years of engineering research and design expertise. Before beginning the task of installing the stove it should be remembered that it will be the major feature in any room when it is lit and will continue to add character even when cold. - Page 3 Competent Persons Regulations and Oil Technicians in England and Wales The Government have introduced the Competent Persons Scheme in England and Wales to give an advantage to operatives within the Construction Industry who are members of bodies that implement approved systems of competence assessment and inspection.
- Page 4 This is an important step which acknowledges those in the industry who work to Regulations and Standards and will help customers recognise that OFTEC Registered Technicians have had their competence independently assessed. Flue Exit Direction – Belfort Oil Stove 174 05 06 Top Flue Exit - Open the main door, remove the ceramic logs if fitted and remove the internal baffle.
- Page 5 Rear Flue Exit - The cut-out in the rear heat shield must be removed in the case of using the rear flue exit and the heat shield removed from the back of the stove. - Open the main door, remove the ceramic log effect kit if fitted and remove the internal baffle.

Page 6: Installation
Flue Exit– Burgundy/Bourgogne Oil Stove 174 10 59 The stove has a top plate that lifts up to gain access to the simmering plate so there is only a rear exit option for this model. We recommend a “T” piece secured to the flue collar with a self-tapping screw. Installation Do not be tempted to fit the stove into an unsuitable fireplace. -
Page 7: Minimum Installation Clearances
This may lead to the clearances to non-inflammable materials also being increased from those in the tables below. Minimum clearance Minimum clearance from combustible from non-inflammable Belfort materials materials 450mm 300mm 200mm 150mm 225mm⧫... - Page 8 The Flue There is often confusion as to the terms “flue” and “chimney” and for the purposes of this manual we define whatever duct conveys the products of combustion as the flue, and the term chimney to mean any masonry structure within which the flue may be contained.
- Page 9 Ventilation The ventilation to provide the stove with air has to be regarded as an integral part of the flue system, because unless the air passing through the flue is replaced with equal amounts of air entering the house, the flue will cease to function. The cooler the outside temperature and the harder the stove is working to maintain the required temperature inside, the cooler the incoming air and the greater its flow.

Type of Tank We strongly advise not to fit a second-hand oil tank as contaminated fuel may do irreparable damage to the installation and as it is impossible to determine whether or not an oil tank is free from contaminates by visual inspection.

Page 12: Electric Ignition
Electric Ignition The electric ignition system operates by heating a ceramic electric heating element positioned 2mm from the bottom of the burner. Oil entering the burner is heated to its ignition temperature by the heating element. The element is energised for the period that the ignition button is pressed, between 30 seconds and a minute. Common reasons for ignition to fail Electrical cable not connected. - Page 13 Toby valve CI valve...

Page 16: Pre-Commissioning Checks
Draught Stabiliser The flue stabiliser works by opening to provide an additional air supply to the flue whenever the flue’s negative pressure reaches its upper limit and so checks any rise beyond this limit to maintain the correct negative pressure within the stove. This system of flue control is universally accepted as both effective and reliable. - Page 17 The stove’s combustion pressure testing point located. Belfort: This is a screw fitted in the flue blanking plate which can be removed to insert the steel tube from the draught gauge. Savoy: Lift the breather tube out of the oil control valve and attach the draught test gauge to this to take the reading, the other end of this tube remains within the body of the stove.
- Page 18 Flow Rates Model Min cc/m Max cc/m Belfort Savoy Burgundy No assessment of flame size or pattern should be made until the stove and flue have reached full operating temperature and the correct negative pressure (chimney draught) within the stove has been achieved.
- Page 19 Oil flow rate to low If the oil flow rate is too low insufficient heat will be produced to vaporise the oil entering the burner, this will result in the fuel being burnt as liquid which will wick from the bottom of the burner creating smoke. The same symptom can occur with excessive chimney draught at low fire as the amount of air passing through the burner will cool the burner preventing vaporisation of the fuel.
- Page 20 Once the stove has been adjusted and operating correctly the following points must be checked. 1. The stove and the oil system should be examined for any evidence of oil leaks which may only occur when the stove is hot. 2.
