Lighting And Operating - HearthStone Nestor Martin S31 Owner's Manual

- a safety float valve will isolate the fuel should the levels within the valve body become too high.
The safety float will cause the arming lever to "trip" whenever the fuel levels become too high. Once "tripped ",
resetting the arming lever may need to be done several times before the fuel level within the valve falls
sufficiently to allow reliable operation. Severe vibration can cause ripples on the fuel surface and lift the float.
Because of this, it is possible for the vibration caused by heavy passing traffic to shut off the valve.
No attempt must be made to adjust the control float or its level. Adjustment of this control is impractical and
may even be dangerous.
As mentioned, the firing rate of the burner is regulated by carburator. Having set the extremes of low and high
firing as detailled in the Start Up section above, the firing rates are proportioned as indicated by the 1-6 settings
on the valve top.

LIGHTING AND OPERATING

-Due to High Surface Temperatures Keep Children, Clothing, and Furniture Away!
-DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE BURNER WHEN EXCESS OIL HAS
ACCUMULATED, OR WHEN THE BURNER IS HOT.
-ALWAYS KEEP THE VALVE SHUT OFF WHEN THE BURNER IS NOT OPERATION.
BEFORE LIGHTING
- Check that the valve on the tank is open,
- Check that the setting lever on the float chamber is in the upward position.
LIGHTING THE STOVE MANUALLY
1. The oil supply to the stove should be turned on and the oil metering valve control knob should
be turned off which is indicated as position "0".
2. Open the front door of the stove and lift out the catalyser, taking care not to disturb the catalyser support
ring. Examine the burner bottom for evidence of oil. If the burner is dry, lighting may proceed. If oil is
present, no attempt should be made to light the stove until this oil has been removed.
3. Turn the oil control knob turned to position "1". Oil will now enter the burner and should be allowed to pool
in the burner bottom unitl about the size of a soda can (65mm diameter).
4. Return the control knob is to the "0" position.
5. Place a small piece of twisted paper approximately 2" in diameter (or a small amount of alcohol-gel) on the
burner bottom in the center of the oil pool.
6. Light this paper (or alcohol-gel) with the extended lighter provided with the unit.
a. When finished using the extended lighter, store at least 2 feet away from the stove and the venting
system
7. Reinstal the catalyzer, as shown above and close the stove door. The oil metering valve should now be
turned to position number "2" and the stove left at this setting until the burner, stove and flue have warmed
sufficiently to allow stable burning at higher settings (½ to1 hour dependent upon flue construction).
