Furnace oil is fed from the tank to the burner floor (A) where
is it ignited by means of a firestarter. The heat produced by
this flame brings the burner temperature to the required level
to vaporize the fuel. Oil will only burn as a vapour not a
liquid. Room combustion air enters the burner through the
air inlet holes (B).
The stove carburetor contains a filter to trap impurities. This
filter must be cleaned periodically with the frequency de-
pending on the fuel purity. A safety lever controls fuel flow.
Oil can only enter the float chamber when the safety lever is
depressed. Oil temperature variations will affect the oil flow
into the float chamber. A float in the chamber raises the fuel
level available to the burner. The carburetor is also controlled by a control knob which turns from 0 (off) to 6
(high setting).
In the center of the burner is the catalyser (C) which aids in vaporizing the fuel. When the stove is operation, the
catalyser glows red. The stove should not be used without both the catalyser, catalyser top (D) and ring (E).
To the right of the unit, just below the side panel is a small push rod called a de-scaling lever, (item 13, figure 9),
that should be pushed and pulled in and out as well as turning slightly at the same time to keep the inlet pipe
clear of carbon buildup. This should be done on a weekly basis.
Because the draft from the chimney is never uniform, a draft regulator has been added to ensure a constant air
intake to the burner regardless of external factors.
The burner pot must be cleaned thoroughly prior to lighting or relighting.
Keep the door of the oil stove closed when it is in operation except during lighting procedures.
