This indicates that the fuel air ratio
is disturbed and the burner is running
fuel rich. There are two main
possibilities when fault finding, either
too much fuel or not enough air.
• Air is leaking into the
combustion chamber.
• Check out seal of pot to closure
plate.
• Check out door seal.
• Check out chimney vacuum
• Check for downdraft.
• Check out prevailing wind
conditions
• Check for correct grade of fuel.
• Check out oil flow rate.
• Check for chimney blockage or
partial blockage
• Burner air inlet holes have
become blocked due to lack of
service.
• Oil control valve is faulty.

Generally slight oil leaks in the
appliance may only be noticed when
the appliance is turned off, as the oil
vapour will normally be drawn into the
appliance and vented off through the
chimney.
Do not attempt to light the appliance
if there is any trace of oil smell near
or around the appliance.
If the appliance is running and there
is an oil smell, turn the appliance off
and investigate or call a service
engineer.
The descaling device has adjustable
packing, which may need to be
tightened up after first undoing the
lock nut
If this does not work then you will
need to replace the gland packing,
which is available as a service item
from your supplier.

Running costs are based on oil at
20pence per litre and are shown in
pence per hour.
If your oil costs more or less than 20
pence, work out the difference as a
percentage and apply it to the 20
pence for a corrected figure.
