LOCATION
When choosing a location for this appliance you
must have the following:
A.
Sufficient room for installation and servicing.
B.
Adequate clearance to combustibles (see
Clearance to Combustibles Section).
C.
A satisfactory flue system (See Flues).
D.
Fixed fuel supply line and shut off valve (See
Fuel Supply).
E.
Adequate air supply to support combustion
(See Ventilation & Combustion Air
Requirements).
F.
Solid floor or base of non-combustible mate-
rial which is capable of supporting the total
weight of the stove. (See Hearth
Construction).
Note: When passing through walls or ceilings with
the flue system:
G.
Always check for obstructions, for example
electrical fittings, wiring, ducting, plumbing
and fixed furnishings.
HEARTH CONSTRUCTION
When a properly constructed hearth is not available
we recommend that the cooker be placed on a slab
of framed concrete of 75mm (3") deep or a slab of
other insulating material. The hearth should be a
minimum size of 1205mm (47") wide, 775mm (30
1 /2
") length with the cooker located as shown in fig.3
FUEL SUPPLY / INSTALLATION
OIL STORAGE TANKS
In order to enable sediment and water to be
removed from steel tanks a drain valve must be fit-
ted.Oil storage tanks made of steel and all connect-
ing equipment (e.g. filling pipes, and vent pipes)
should comply with B.S. 799 Part 5. Galvanised
steel must not be used. Polyethylene (Plastic) tanks
should comply with OFTEC standard OFS T100 and
or equivalent. Oil should never be stored in transu-
lent plastic containers.
An isolating valve should be fitted at the tank outlet,
in an accessible position so that the oil supply to the
appliance can be shut off if required. This isolating
valve must be of a type suitable for use with oil. (see
fig.4)
Oil storage tanks support must be carried out in
accordance with the tank manufacture recommen-
dations. Tanks should be located in the most un-
obstructive position possible having taken safety, fill-
ing, maintenance and the need, to provide a head of
oil for the burner into consideration.
FUELS
Use only 28 second viscosity kerosene fuel oil to
B.S. 2869 Part 2 class C2 and or equivalent.
FUEL SUPPLY LINE
The oil supply line from the oil storage tank to the
appliance should be of an approved and suitable
pipe with a minimum internal diameter of 8mm
(5/16") and connected to the oil control valve.
Supply pipes are normally run in annealed copper
tube complying to EN 1057. It can be obtained in
coil or half hard form for use with bending machines.
This pipe can also be obtained with protective plas-

should be compression of the flared manipulative
type to B.S. 864: Part 2. Steel pipes complying with
B.S. 1387: 1985, if used, must be protected from
corrosion. Galvanised pipe and fittings must not be
used.
Screwed joints must only be made with taper
threads complying to B.S. 1740 : Part 1.
Jointing materials must be of types intended for use
with oil fuel.
pounds and PTFE tape are suitable. External pipes
should preferably be run with a continuous rise
towards the direction of flow, so that air can be vent-
ed off. It is important to avoid high points which
could cause air locks.
Exposed lengths of oil supply pipe must be properly
supported by purpose made clips securely fixed in
place. Metal clips formed so as to hold the pipe on
to a saddle are preferred. Consideration should be
given to avoiding routes which expose the pipe to
severe chilling which could cause freezing of the oil.
Where pipes are buried, they must be protected
from accidental damage. The use of joints under-
ground should be avoided if at all possible. If joints
have to be fitted in pipes laid below ground, access
to them must be provided.
