Shut down
1. Turn the control knob to "0" setting.
2. Lift the safety lever.
3. Turn off the oil tank fuel supply valve.
The oil tank fuel supply valve should always be shut off when
the oil stove is not in operation.
ADJUSTMENTS
Oil flow adjustments
The oil flow setting is done by the manufacturer and
normally should not require any adjustments. These
adjustments if required must be done by a qualified
technician.
Always burn the stove on low for at least 15 minutes before
attempting to adjust the flow.
Turn the screw only a quarter turn at a time. Wait 10 to 15
minutes between adjustments to allow the fire to stabilize.
If the burner fails to respond to the control knob settings, other
possible causes should be checked (chimney draft, dirty filter
or the oil supply line) prior to attempting to adjust the
carburetor.
Adjustment at minimum speed :
Turn the control knob 'A' to the (1) dial setting and allow the
burner to run for a few minutes. The flame must completely cover the bottom of the burner pot and the catalyser should
glow red. If the flame is too small, the oil stove will quickly soot up. Turn the set screw 'B' (figure 18), located on the top
of the carburetor, clockwise with a screwdriver to increase the flow of oil.
If the flame is too high, reduce the oil flow by turning the set screw counter-clockwise. The flames should be blue with
occasional yellow tips. The catalyser should glow red.
Adjustment at maximum speed :
Gradually turn the control knob 'A' to dial setting (6) and allow the burner to run for a few minutes. The flame should be
in a cone form with the top level with the upper part of the door. If the flame is too low, the oil flow rate should be increased
by turning the set screw 'C' (figure 18), on the carburetor counter-clockwise. If the flame is too high, turn the screw
clockwise.
The flames should have only occasional contact with the burner ring. The bottom 2" (50 mm) of the flames should be blue
in colour with the remaining portion yellow.
Overheating
Adjusting the control knob to a high setting prematurely allows too much oil to enter the burning pot. This and/ or the lack
of sufficient draft creates a fire intensity which in turn creates vibrations. Similarly, if the oil stove or the chimney connector
start to glow red, the appliance is being overheated. Turn off the oil supply until the fire has decreased to a normal steady
burn. Adjust draft to specifications.
Adjustments, if any, to your oil stove have been made by your installer. Do not attempt any further adjustments yourselves
but report any failures or shortcomings in the stove's performance to your authorized dealer.
