Review of Franco Belge Belfort stove

OUTER GRATE FRAME

JOHN CROOK 11 years ago

Really good stove, I installed it about 10 years ago and has been fine until this year I made a terrible mistake I put some coal that I had got from the mother in law, trouble was I didn't realise it was anthracite and I burnt out the grate and grate frame. I have purchased the spare parts but I'm unsure of how to replace the grate frame, looks like I have to remove the front panel. Any advice would be appreciated.

Stove expert replied: In the exploded diagram it looks like the frame slots in once the oscillating grate has been removed, refer to the manual for further guidance.
