5- The carburator's filter is clogged.
Solution : Clean the carburetor's filter. Start by closing all taps. Remove the two screws on the small
silver plate on the side of the carburetor. Then, remove the rubber joint and the nylon filter. Clean the filter
with hot water. Put everything back into place.
6- The chimney draft is too weak. This causes the fire to slowly go out.
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.
Solution#2 : The lack of adequate draft may be due to an improper adjustment of the draft regulator
located at the back of the stove. The draft regulator should have been adjusted by a qualified technician
when the stove was installed. If this has not been done, have a qualified technician take a draft reading
and adjust the draft regulator. Your qualified technician must use a manometer to obtain a draft reading.
During this procedure, the oil flow control knob must be set at position #1 and all air-moving equipment
inside the house (range hood, heat exchanger, bathroom fan, etc.) must be in operation. The reading on
the manometer must correspond to the minimum prescribed draft indicated on the certification plate located
at the back of the stove. The prescribed draft is set at 0,05 INWC for most oil stoves. If the adjustment of
the draft regulator does not increase the chimney draft, go to solutions #3 to #6.
Solution #3: Your stove may be located in an area where the volume of oxygen is not sufficient to allow
for a complete combustion. If there is a window in the room where the stove is located, open it by at least 2
inches. If this solves the problem, it may indicate that your house is over-insulated or the room is too small.
Without an additional supply of oxygen, your stove will not function normally. The ideal solution is to install
a permanent fresh air intake located at a distance of 6 to 12 inches from the stove.
