1.4 Operating principle

The appliance is designed for operating only with the
door closed.

The Belfort Flueless is designed to be used only with
natural gas (type G20).

Heat is mainly diffused by radiation through the window
and by hot air diffusion around the body of the
appliance.

The pilot light is on constantly.
The appliance is fitted with a ‘Flame Supervision

Device’ (FSD). If the burner should become accidentally
extinguished, the FSD will automatically cut off the gas
supply.

The system is not adjustable, and should not be
rendered inoperative.

1.5 Safety advice

This appliance has a ceramic Fire-bed layout, this
contains Refractory Ceramic Fibres which are
manmade vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure
to these materials can cause irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory organs. Hence we recommend that when
handling these materials the release of dust should be
kept to a minimum. During installation and servicing we
recommend that a HEPA filtered vacuum be used to
remove any dust and soot in and around the fire. If any
of the ceramic fire-bed components need to be replaced
we recommend that the removed parts be sealed in a
heavy duty polythene bag, and be labeled as RCF
waste. RCF is not “Hazardous waste” and can be
disposed of at a licensed tipping site for the disposal of
industrial waste.

The appliance incorporates an Oxygen Depletion
Sensor (ODS) Monitoring system. This is located on the
front of the burner, and must not be adjusted by the
installer. This ODS system must not be put out of
operation, and if any parts require changing, only
original manufacturer parts shall be used.

The Belfort Flueless is designed to be used only with
natural gas (type G20).

This appliance has been designed, tested and
approved to meet standards in place for product use,
performance and safety. Installation of your stove must
comply with current building regulations. Franco Belges
therefore recommend that a CORGI engineer be
employed for this task. Taking particular notice of
“thermal inversion” The engineer will provide you with
information about the safety limits of the installation and
should fix a notice plate in a place where it can be
readily seen, eg: next to the electricity meter.

This appliance is designed as an efficient heating
device and consequently all body parts become very
hot in use. Except for the control knob and control
access door, which are designed to stay cool, all other
parts are working surfaces and should not be touched.

The glass and frame on this appliance acts as a
fireguard conforming to BS: 1945 – 1971 and satisfies
the Heating Appliance (Fireguards) regulations 1991.
No part of the window or frame should be permanently
removed. It does not give full protection for young
children or the infirm, extra protection should be
considered for these conditions conforming to BS 6539
or BS 6778.

Bearing in mind that the heat given off by this appliance
may affect articles placed close to it, curtains should not
be placed within 30 cm.

The appliance is not designed as a dryer. It is therefore
strictly forbidden that the appliance be used in such a
manner. Do not place any articles within 30 cm of this
appliance as this may result in damage to the articles.

The blockage of the top front is strictly forbidden. Do not
put any clothes or similar at this opening.

The installation must be carried out in accordance with
the following regulations:

The Building Regulations issued by the Department of
the Environment, the Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department.

BS 1251, BS 5440 part 1, BS 5871 part 2, BS 6461 part
1, BS 6891 and BS 8303.

In the Republic of Ireland the installation must also
conform to the relevant standards, particularly in regard
to ventilation. Refer to documents IS813, ICP3, IS327
and any other rules in force.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the
rules in force and used only in a sufficiently ventilated
space.

1.6 Principle of Operation

This Belfort Flueless Gas Stove has a gas burner
installed that gives very clean combustion. However,
should any problems be encountered it also has a
number of safety features included.

PYROLYTIC MESH - this is situated under the top plate
of the stove. This mesh increases the time that the burnt
products stay in contact and hence, assists in achieving
a more complete combustion.

OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR - this is incorperated
into the ignition pilot on the burner. This monitors the air
condition in the room and will cut off the gas to the
product before the air condition in the room reaches any
harmful levels.

THERMOSTATIC CONTROL - the control tap that is
used on this stove has a Thermostat built in. This will
prevent the room temperature from raising beyond a
comfortable level if the stove is left unattended.

None of these safety features should be tampered with
or made un-operable, if replacement parts are needed
then only parts supplied by Franco Belge should be
used.

2. Installation instructions

The appliance should only be installed by a
professional engineer, in the strict application of
normal practices and all safety precautions. The
installation must be carried out according to the
Standards and the Building Regulations.

2.1 Check the stove

•

Check the stove immediately after reception.

•

Ensure that the appliance conforms to the type of gas
distributed and the method of venting away the
combustion products as per the indications on the
appliance’s information plate and the gas setting label
affixed to the appliance when it leaves the factory.

•

The appliance is adjusted and sealed in accordance
with category (G20).

•

Notify the vendor if there is any damage or fault.

2.2 General Fitting Notes

Flueless Gas Stoves are only intended for installation
as secondary, and should not be installed as a primary
heating source.

2.3 Ventilation

The premises should be in accordance with the building
regulations.

The Belfort Flueless gas stove is rated at less than

3.1kW. This therefore necessitates the appliance to be
fitted in a room with an internal volume of no less than
33 m

3

. The appliance also requires 100 cm2of
additional permanent ventilation, direct to outside. In
addition to this, there is a further requirement for the
room to have an openable window or louvre as
specified under BS 5440: part 2.

2.4 Clearance requirements

The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth, which must
be of a non-combustible material with a minimum
thickness of 12 mm and extend 150 mm in front of the
stove.

The hearth must not be capable of inadvertent covering
by a rug or carpet. This may be achieved by either the
hearth being 50 mm above the level of the floor, or a
fender or kerb around the hearth to a height of 50 mm.

The appliance must not be fitted against a rear wall
constructed from a combustible material; a gap of
300 mm should be given all round the stove before
combustible materials may be used in the wall
construction.

If the appliance has to be located in an opening, the
minimum clearance from non-combustible materials is
shown in the figure.

The stove must be located at least 280 mm from any
combustible materials.

A combustible shelf may be fitted over the appliance, if
in the case of a 150 mm or less deep shelf, there is at
least 280 mm clearance above the top of the stove. The
shelf depth may increase at the same rate as the
increase in clearance.

AB

100 250

150 280

200 330

250 350

300 400

(i.e. a shelf depth of 200mm would require a clearance
of 330mm).

If the appliance has to be located in an opening, there
must be a clearance of at least 70 mm at the left hand of
the appliance, 50 mm at the back of the appliance and
70 mm above from any non-combustible materials. This
distance must be extended to a mininum clearance of
100 mm from any combustible materials.

There should ideally be a minimum gap of 150 mm at
the right hand side of the stove (this will ensure the best
possible access to the control knob). This
measurement may be reduced to a minimum gap of 100
mm if needed however extra care should be taken when
operating the control knob when the appliance is hot.
