Maintenance - HearthStone Nestor Martin S31 Owner's Manual

TIP: If your chimney is slow in establishing draft, excess oil may build up in the base of the burner
pot. This causes a flame larger than normally expected at the low setting. Turn the oil control
knob to the OFF position ("O"), allow the flame to reduce in height, then switch the knob back to
low setting.
Extinguishing
1. Turn the control knob to position 0.
2. If the stove is to remain off for a long period of time, shut the reservoir tap off.

MAINTENANCE

Always allow the stove to cool before performing any maintenance operation.
Weekly
De-coking should be done weekly and can be done when the stove is turned off or running at minimum setting.
Follow the instrustions below under Normal Annual Service.
Every Two or Three months (depending on use)
Remove the catalyser and clean out any carbon deposits in the base of the burner. Also scrape carbon
deposits from where the oil enters the burner. If necessary, use a glass cleaning solution to wash the glass.
Replace catalyser on its support in the burner.
Normal Annual Servicing
As with all mechanical devices it is necessary to clean the TOBY oil controls occasionally. As a rule, every 1-2
years meets normal requirements. If particularly dirty fuel oil is used, additional cleaning may prove necessary.
The following sequence should be carried out during the annual service:

The top of the flames is "white/yellow".
The base of the flames is blue.
Blue spears only on the top of the burner.
Base of catalyst is red.
MAXIMUM SETTING
A large, full-firebox flame reaching above the glass door
frame, though not touching the top plate of the stove.
A narrow flame, mainly white/yellow.
The base of the flames is blue.
The base of the catalyser is red.
