Introduced in 1958, the Royal took over as a direct replacement for the Rayburn No 3, with which it shared many of the same features. A one-piece insulating cover was standard, as was the 'drop down' style door handles.
A re-styled flue chamber was provided, but the flue damper remained below the hob, with an indicator registering on the back-plate.
It was available with or without a
hot-water boiler and with left or right handed ovens, also available were
optional extras such as the splash back, plate-rack, drip tray and a plinth to
raise by the height by 3.75 inches. The standard boiler was plain cast iron,
with the option of having it glass lined (enamelled) or of copper construction.
In 1968 the option of twin insulating covers were offered, before becoming standard.
During the 1970's the door handles were changed to the horizontal pattern and the flue damper was brought up above the hob, with a redesigned flue chamber.
By 1988, the left-hand oven option was discontinued.
The mid 1990's saw more colour options introduced together with chrome plated insulating covers and were re-designated 200S & 212S. Later changes included slam catch oven doors.
From 2005 onwards, the flue damper moved to the front of the chamber and a positive catch was added to the fire door.
Production continues.
Early in 2006, the model re-designated SFW to emphasise its wood burning capability.
