1. Isolate the electrical supply to the stove and
ensure that the control valve is at setting O.
2. Clean the inlet pipe using the scrubber (See
Weekly Servicing Section).
3. Fully clean the burner, burner compartment and
viewing glass (See every two - three months
Servicing Section).
4. Check the flue for soot and clean if necessary.
Check all flue joints seals and reseal if required.
5. Check for oil leaks at all fittings.
6. Light the stove (checking the ignition system).
Check that the flue stabiliser is operating cor-
rectly and that the flame pattern is acceptable.
CONTROL VALVE RATING
NOTE:
GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE FLOW RATE
IS CORRECT, AS IT GREATLY AFFECTS THE
STOVE'S PERFORMANCE.
Apparatus Required:
Collection Vessel
Stopwatch
Graduated Cylinder (capable of measuring
150ml & graduated to the nearest ml)
Small Flat Screwdriver
1. Loosen the scrubber rod fixing nut & remove the
scrubber rod (See Fig.21).
2. Place the collection vessel beneath the scrub-
ber to catch the oil. Turn the control valve to 6
and start the stopwatch when the first drop of oil
falls into the vessel.
3. Measure the oil flow for 5 minutes (Consult the
Technical Data section for the correct rate).
4. Turn the control valve to 1 and repeat the above
procedure.
5. If either of the above input rates are not correct,
the control valve can be adjusted to give the
required rate. The high fire screw is to the right
of the knob when looking at the valve from
behind, while the low fire knob is to the left of
the knob (see Fig.23). They should only require
slight adjustment and the measurement proce-
dure described in 2, 3 & 4 above should be fol-
lowed to check each adjustment.
6. When the required input rate is achieved,
reassemble the compression fitting ensuring
that there are no leaks and that the burner is
level.

NOTE:
It is imperative that the stove is not
rated above the maximum flow rate as to do so
will raise the operating temperature of the stove
which could damage the control equipment or
the stove itself.
VITREOUS ENAMEL CLEANING
General cleaning must be carried out when the
stove is cool.
If the stove is finished in a high gloss vitreous enam-
el, to keep the enamel in the best condition observe
the following tips:
1. Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth,
followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.
2. For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated pad
can be carefully used on the vitreous enamel.
3. Use only products recommended by the Vitreous
Enamel Association, these products carry the
vitramel label.
4. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN
CLEANSERS CONTAINING CITRIC ACID ON
ENAMELLED SURFACES. ENSURE THAT
THE CLEANSER MANUFACTURERS
INSTRUCTIONS ARE ADHERED TO.
