Step #2: level the burner in the north/south direction.
5- The burner is dirty. A burner that has not been cleaned on a regular basis will accumulate residues, which
will end up clogging the burner holes. This causes instability in the combustion process, resulting in sooth
deposits on the stove's glass.
Solution: Visually inspect the burner on a weekly basis. Remove residues by scrubbing the burner with a
steel wool. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner (ex: "Shop Vac") to collect the remaining dirt.
6- The oil flow has been increased to rapidly.
Solution: Decrease the oil flow back to position #1. Allow a few minutes for the combustion to become
stable. Increase the oil flow by one position every 10 minutes until you reach the desired intensity.
7- The draft regulator at the back of the stove needs lubrication. If the draft regulator does not open freely,
the stove may not get the air it needs to complete the combustion process and reach the appropriate draft,
causing sooth deposits on the glass.
Solution : Make sure that the draft regulator at back of the stove opens and closes freely. Apply a
lubricant (ex: WD40) on moving parts.
8- The chimney draft is too weak. As a result, combustion residues are not properly evacuated, causing
sooth deposits on the glass.
Solution #1 : The lack of adequate draft may simply be caused by a lack of heat inside the chimney. Start
the fire by pouring 2 onzes (50ml) of fire-lighting gel into the burner. Do not turn the oil on right away (leave
the oil flow control knob at zero). The burning gel will allow the chimney to heat up until it reaches a
temperature that will generate an adequate draft. When the burning gel's intensity starts to diminish, turn
the oil flow control knob to position #1. Increase the oil flow by one position every 10 minutes until you
reach the desired intensity.
