Solution #3: The negative pressure effect may be caused by the wind blowing into your chimney. This is
often caused by the interference of nearby structures. In order to avoid such interference, your chimney
should be higher (by at least two feet) than any structure located in a horizontal distance of 10 feet. Most
houses located in residential areas do not have structures located within a 10 foot distance of the chimney,
other that the house's own roof top. It this is your case, you must make sure that the chimney exceeds the
highest roof point by at least 2 feet.
WHY DID THE FIRE GO OUT?
Possible causes and solutions :
1- The oil tank is empty and/or the taps are closed.
Solution: Verify that there is oil in the tank and that the taps are open. If the tank is empty, fill-it up. Then,
verify that the oil reaches the burner by leaving the stove's oil flow control knob at position #1 for a few
seconds. You should be able to see and touch a thin layer of oil inside the burner.
2- The carburetor's small float compartment is full of oil and activates the safety mechanism. This generally
occurs when the oil is injected too rapidly in a new or empty carburetor. If this situation has occurred, you
will not be able to operate the stove properly until all the oil is removed from the small float compartment.
Solution : Remove the 4 screws on the silver data plate located on top pf the carburetor. Then, remove
the 3 screws that retain the top portion of the carburetor. With a needle, grab the little float located in the
small compartment. Remove the oil with a sponge. BE CAREFULL: if you are not sure about what you
are doing, consult a qualified technician.
carburetor, which will need to be replaced.
3- The oil tank is located outside the house and you are burning oil #2. When the outside temperature is very
cold, the flow of oil #2 can be greatly reduced. Therefore, your stove may not have the oil flow necessary
to operate at its full capacity.
Solution : Always use oil #1 when your oil tank is located outside. Furthermore, we recommend that you
use a copper pipe with a 1" diameter to link the oil tank to the house. The copper pipe must however keep
a 3/8" diameter when it is inside the house.
4- The oil tank filter is clogged. This can occur when the filter is not periodically replaced.
Solution: Ideally, replace the oil tank filter at the beginning of each heating season. Furthermore, in order
to avoid the risk of blocking the filter with oil tank residues, it is recommended that your oil tank be installed
with a horizontal slope of at least ¼" per foot. This will help concentrate the accumulation of residues at the
back of the oil tank instead of near the tap entry.
If you remove the wrong screws, you may disarrange the
