INITIAL INSTALLATION AND START-UP TIPS
WALLAS 85 DU & DP COOKTOP
The 85 series Wallas cook-top is the third generation of cooking devices
from this Finnish company. Starting in 1995, Wallas introduced a #2 diesel
fueled cook-top called the Model 95D, designed primarily for the North
American market. This model was manufactured through 2005.
Though primarily intended for "recreational" use, many 95Ds were placed
into "commercial" use, with reasonable success, and most units,
recreational and commercial, are still in service today. Most 95Ds sold
here in North America were fitted with the model 25 blower lid, that
combination of stove and lid was marketed as the 125D. Early 25 lids had
a wood veneer top, while the later 25E models had a tooled metal top.

85DP w/270 Lid
In 2006, the current Model 85 started into production. This model grew out
of the information received from nearly 10,000 Model 95D's sold
throughout the world. Some of the major improvements in the model 85D
over the model 95D include a dramatically strengthened "case" with a
"bonded" ceramic surface, a highly refined PC board with internal hour
meter, and super long life "brushless" motors for combustion and heating.
As of 2011, over 8,000 of these 85D units have been sold and have proven
to have a very robust design and a significantly longer service interval
than the Model 95D. Blower and combustion fan life is many times that of
the 95D.

In most cases the 85D has been sold in North America fitted with the 270 blower lid, a significant improvement over the 25 lid, with variable blower speed to match combustion power level. Both the 95 and 85 have been made available in DU (flush mounted) and DP (countertop mounted) versions. - Page 3 3. VERY IMPORTANT! The fuel line to fuel pump connection under the cook-top is critical for proper starting and running of the Wallas 85. The fuel line fitting is a well designed part and must be assembled and installed correctly.
- Page 4 I. Pushing the start switch to “on” will trigger an alternating red and yellow flashing, changing to a “steady” yellow in a few seconds. During this initial flashing the unit is doing a self test to insure all critical components are in working order. The steady yellow means that voltage at the unit is sufficient for the unit to start and the glow plug is “on”.

begun the fuel pump will start pulsing (making a subtly “clicking” sound) and fuel will start to travel from the fuel tank towards the cook-top. The start cycle is timed to about 5 minutes. If the fuel does not reach the inside of the combustion chamber in that time period, the red light will start flashing telling you the unit did not start. - Page 6 3. Make sure that the fuel pump is ACTUALLY “clicking” starting at the 35 to 90 second point after starting. If you can’t hear the clicking, put your thumb and forefinger on the fuel line to fuel pump connection, You should feel a “pulse”, much like a human pulse at about 30 beats per minute.
- Page 7 Wallas devices require more voltage/amperage to start than they do to run. If you continue running your Wallas, take care not to run your battery(s) so low you can’t start your engine!
