Page 4: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS POSITIONING THE STOVE • Position the stove as close as possible to the chimney. • Many configurations are possible, the most frequent are illustrated in figures 1, 2 and 3. • Respect the clearances indicated on page 1. They reflect Canadian and American safety standards. •... -
Page 5: Chimney Informations
CHIMNEY INFORMATIONS • Before you hook up the stove, inspect the chimney to ensure that it is in good condition. • Your stove is approved on factory built type A or type L chimney. The chimney has to be well insulated; a chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a good draft and create condensation. -
Page 6: Connecting The Stove To The Chimney
CONNECTING THE STOVE TO THE CHIMNEY • The combustion residues are vented at the back of the stove. The female part of the black pipe connector has to be inserted in the flue outlet of the stove. Secure all connections with 3 metal screws, positioned at a 120 distance from one another. -
Page 7: Levelling The Stove
LEVELLING THE STOVE • Now that the stove is into place and properly hooked up to the chimney, you have to adjust the level of the burner. • Put the level on the burner’s rim, parallel to the door. (Figure 9A). Screw or unscrew the adjustable threaded legs to level the burner. -
Page 8: Connecting The Stove To The Oil Tank
CONNECTING THE STOVE TO THE OIL TANK • Make sure that the oil tank is 12" (305 mm) higher than the carburetor. This is very important, since the stove is gravity fed. • Use only copper piping to connect the tank to the stove. •... -
Page 9: Measuring And Adjusting The Draft
MEASURING AND ADJUSTING THE DRAFT • Your stove operates with a natural draft, created by the ascension of combustion gases in the chimney. This movement creates a suction effect in the stove and forces ambient air to pass through the perforations in the burner. -
Page 10: Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COMBUSTIBLE • Your stove has been designed to work with oil #1 or #2. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE. The manufacturer declines all responsibility regarding damages caused by the use of other combustibles. •... -
Page 11: Changing The Intensity
LIGHTING (CONT’D) • Set the oil flow control knob at "1". As soon as the oil starts flowing into the burner, set it back to "0". • Open the door and pour 2 to 3 ounces (app. 75 ml) of lighting gel or wood alcohol into the burner. NOTE : USING LIGHTING GEL IS BETTER AND SAFER. -
Page 12: Turning The Stove Off
Reinstall glass retainers and screws. • If the door gasket is damaged, replace it with an identical one. To get a new gasket, refer to your Drolet dealer. Page 11 of 30... -
Page 13: Frequently Asked Questions
WHY SHOULD I INSTALL A BLOWER? A blower can be installed at the back of your DROLET stove. This option enables you to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation power of your stove. - Page 14 DO I NEED A FLOOR PROTECTION? You do not need a floor protection if your stove already sits on a non-combustible surface. Furthermore, it is not necessary to install a floor protection if your stove sits on a wood floor. However, any floor that is made of combustible synthetic material (ex: carpet) needs to be covered with a floor protection.
- Page 15 Type A chimneys have insulation. Type L chimneys have a double wall. It is the air “cushion” that creates the insulation on a Type L chimney. Drolet recommends the use of a Type A chimney for its oil stoves. WHERE CAN I FIND AN INSTALLER FOR MY OIL STOVE? There are many companies specializing in the installation of heating equipment, including oil burning stoves.
- Page 16 DRAWING #1C DRAWING #1C shows a stove functioning under normal and adequate conditions. Heat rises to the upper floors and the room where the stove is located has an adequate supply of oxygen. The chimney draft is sufficient and the combustion gases are evacuated normally through the exhaust system. Page 15 of 30...
- Page 17 DRAWING #2C DRAWING #2C shows the effect of a cold chimney. Cold air creates a reverse draft (negative pressure), which causes smoking problems. This phenomenon is amplified by the fact that heat rises, which creates a draft from the basement of the house to the upper floors (“chimney stack effect”). Page 16 of 30...
- Page 18 DRAWING #3C DRAWING #3C shows the effect of negative pressure caused by an air-moving device inside the house. In the example above, the range hood draws air from inside the house, which is replaced by air coming from the chimney. The result is a smoking problem. Page 17 of 30...
- Page 19 DRAWING #4C DRAWING #4C shows the negative pressure effect caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a building. Page 18 of 30...
- Page 20 DRAWING #5C DRAWING #5C shows the negative pressure effect that can be caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a tree. Page 19 of 30...

Page 21: Trouble Shooting
To obtain the genuine gasket replacement kit for your stove, please consult our accessories section at www.drolet.ca WHY DID THE STAINLESS STEEL DEFLECTOR INSIDE MY STOVE TARNISH? The tarnishing of the stainless steel deflector is absolutely normal. The role of this deflector is to reflect heat, as well as protect the firebox. - Page 22 3- The catalytic rings are not in the right position, causing instability in the combustion process. Solution : Each ring is stamped with the letters “A”, “B”, or “C” . The location of each ring is very important. Ring “A” is always the top ring, “B” is the middle one, and “C” is the bottom one. 4- The burner is not level.
- Page 23 Step #2: level the burner in the north/south direction. 5- The burner is dirty. A burner that has not been cleaned on a regular basis will accumulate residues, which will end up clogging the burner holes. This causes instability in the combustion process, resulting in sooth deposits on the stove’s glass.
- Page 24 Solution#2 : The lack of adequate draft may be due to an improper adjustment of the draft regulator located at the back of the stove. The draft regulator should have been adjusted by a qualified technician when the stove was installed. If this has not been done, have a qualified technician take a draft reading and adjust the draft regulator.
- Page 25 Solution #3: The negative pressure effect may be caused by the wind blowing into your chimney. This is often caused by the interference of nearby structures. In order to avoid such interference, your chimney should be higher (by at least two feet) than any structure located in a horizontal distance of 10 feet. Most houses located in residential areas do not have structures located within a 10 foot distance of the chimney, other that the house’s own roof top.
- Page 26 The carburator’s filter is clogged. Solution : Clean the carburetor’s filter. Start by closing all taps. Remove the two screws on the small silver plate on the side of the carburetor. Then, remove the rubber joint and the nylon filter. Clean the filter with hot water.
- Page 27 Solutions #4: Your exhaust system may be toot short. In order to obtain a sufficient draft, your exhaust system must have a minimum height. A minimum height of 15 feet (from the connector at the back of the stove to the chimney cap outside the house) will be adequate in most cases. HOWEVER: remember that longer is not always better.
- Page 28 WHY DOESN’T MY STOVE PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAT? Possible causes and solutions : 1- The oil flow control knob is set too low. Solution #1: Increase the oil flow control knob by one position every 10 minutes until the desired intensity is reached.
- Page 29 Step #2: level the burner in the north/south direction.. 3- The oil tank is located outside the house and you are burning oil #2. When the outside temperature is very cold, the flow of oil #2 can be greatly reduced. Therefore, your stove may not have the oil flow necessary to operate at its full capacity.
- Page 30 4- The carburetor’s filter is clogged, which reduces the oil flow. Solution : Clean the carburetor’s filter. Start by closing all taps. Remove the two screws on the small silver plate on the side of the carburetor. Then, remove the rubber joint and the nylon filter. Clean the filter with hot water.
