Leveling the fireplace
Figure 11 :Levelling the burner
•Now that your fireplace is installed into place, you have to level the burner.
•Put the level in the middle of the burner parallel to the door. (See figure 11-a). Screw or unscrew the
adjustable legs until perfect level has been reached. Use a 7/16’’ (10 mm) key.
•Then put the level in the middle of the burner so that it is parallel to the sides (See figure 11-b). Screw
or unscrew the adjustable legs until perfect level has been reached. Use a 7/16’’ (10 mm) key.
IMPORTANT :
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LEVEL THE BURNER TO ALLOW A PROPER OIL VAPOR
DISTRIBUTION THROUGHT THE RING AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

Page 8of 23
Chimney installation
•ONLY (‘’A’’ TYPE) FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY CAN BE USED for the installation of your GRIZZLY
fireplace. Use only 30 O or 45Oelbows. NO 90OELBOWS ARE ALLOWED.
•The use of BLACK PIPE CONNECTORS (SINGLE OR DOUBLE WALL PIPES) IS STRICTLY
PROHIBITED.
•Many configurations are possible, the most frequent ones are illustrated in figures 12, 13, and 14.
•Respect clearances indicated in table 1. These clearances have been tested and verified in the
course of certification and homologation sessions. Also respect factory built chimney required
clearances. See your dealer to know the specifications of the chimney manufacturer.
Figure 12 :Direct installation Figure 13 :Inside deviation installation
•NOTE: It is essential to ensure yourself that
the room where the fireplace is located
sufficiently ventilated to provide an adequate
air supply.
•If your home is well insulated, it is possible that
you will have to install an fresh air intake
directly from outside and routed to the unit.
•Drolet Stoves & Fireplaces do not recommend
that you connect a factory built chimney to a
masonry chimney.
Figure 14 :Exterior deviation installation
THE BURNING OF ONE LITRE OF FUEL (OIL) REQUIRES APPROXIMATLY 30 m3
OF AIR AND WILL PRODUCE ABOUT 0,8 kg OF WATER VAPOR AND 9 m
3OF
CARBONE DIOXIDE AND ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN. A SOURCE OF AIR FROM
THE OUTSIDE IS NEEDED TO REPLACE COMBUSTION AIR.

Page 9of 23
Chimney installation (cont’d)
•DROLET STOVES & FIREPLACES requires the use of an (A TYPE) factory built chimney having a
constant 5’’diameter. Using a larger flue tends to make combustion gas expand and cools them off
witch have for result of lowering the draught effects. Gas expansion reduces the speed of the draught
and have the same effects.
•Low gas temperature will tend to condense and freeze or leak in your chimney.
•Refer to technical data in (table 1) in order to know the required minimum draught needed for your
fireplace. Follow this specification for proper operation.
•The chimney has to reach a minimum of 15’ high. It has to extend not less than 3’ above the point it
exits the roof and 2’ higher than any roof, building or other obstacles within a horizontal distance of 10’.
•CHIMNEY MINIMUM HEIGHT:
Chimney height must not be less than 15’.
(4.6 m).
•CLEARANCES WITH ROOF SUMMIT AND
BUILDING NEARBY :
The chimney flue shall extend at least 2’
(0.6m) above the highest roof surface or
structure within 10’ (3 m) horizontally of the
chimney.
Figure 15 :Minimum chimney height. Figure 16 :Chimney clearances.
•CLEARANCE FROM ROOFING INTERSECTION :
The chimney flue shall extend at least 3’ (0,9 m) above the highest point at witch it comes in contact
with the roof.
YOUR APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY HAVING SUFFICIENT DRAUGHT AT ALL
TIME TO ASSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE BURNER.

Connecting fireplace to oil tank
•Make sure that the tank outlet is 12" (305 mm) higher than the inlet of the carburetor. (Gravity fed)
•Use only copper piping to connect tank to stove.
•Make sure that there is a small slope on the connection from the tank toward the stove.
•A 3" (75 mm) down slope is needed on the tank itself, from the outlet towards the other end of the
tank.
•When the tank is installed outdoors, it is preferable to use oil #1, to avoid viscosity problems.
NOTE :THE BAROMETRIC TANK SHALL BE LOCATED SO THAT THE TANK WILL NOT BE
EXPOSED TO THE DIRECT RAYS OF THE SUN OR BE ADJACENT TO ANY SOURCE OF
INTENSE HEAT.
Figure 17 :Fireplace and oil tank connection

Page 11 of 23
Preliminary test
Before inserting the fireplace, it is suggested to verify the items listed below and correct if necessary;
•Leaks on copper connections; inlet and outlet of the valve as well as the inlet of the burner;
•The chimney is properly in place and well secured with approved parts;
•The burner has been levelled;
•The fireplace is permanently attached to hearth;
•Enough draught is available and has been adjusted according to the following procedures.
Adjustment of the draught
•Your stove operates with natural draught, created by the ascension of combustion gases in the
chimney. This movement creates a siphon effect in the stove and forces ambient air to go in the burner
by the holes in its surround. These orifices let air in for combustion.
•For the unit to function properly, it is essential to check the quality of the draught using a draught
gauge. The draught is usually measured in inches of water column.
•Check the minimum draught required of the unit on page 1. The draught mentioned has to be reached
rapidly at a minimum settling (position #1).
•Depending on the model, the draught can be taken by the orifice on the cooking surface. The measure
can also be taken by the orifice on the draught regulator usually plugged by a rubber cap. The orifice
on the cooking surface is still the best area.
IMPORTANT : ALWAYS MEASURE THE DRAUGHT WITH ALL VENTILATION EQUIPMENT
INSTALLED IN THE HOUSE (RANGE HOOD, BATHROOM FAN, AIR EXCHANGER, DRYER, ETC IN
OPERATION.) ref. : standard CAN/CSA B-139 art. 4.1.5.
Measuring the draught:
•For a proper operation of the fireplace, it is
essential to check the chimney draught
with a draught gauge. Since natural
draught is low, inches or millimetres of
Water Column are used for the draught
measurements.
•Chimney’s minimum draught required is
0,06’’ of W.C. Draught should be reached
rapidly at the minimum flow setting,
(position «1»).
•Measure the draught by using the hole
made in the burst disc plate designed for
this purpose. (see figure 18).
Figure 18 :Draught test

Page 12 of 23
Preliminary Test (cont’d)
Draught regulator :
•An excessive draught is as bad as a draught
to low.
•The regulator controls the draught when it is
excessive (in high winds for example).
•If the draught exceeds 0.08 in of water
column, you will have to adjust the regulator
Figure 19 :Draught Regulator
Adjusting the draught:
•To adjust the draught you have to screw or
unscrew the court weight on the regulator.
Regulator open lowers the draught regulator
closed increases the draught.
Figure 20 :Regulator adjustment
THE ONLY RIGHT WAY OF MEASURING THE DRAUGHT IS TO USE A DRAUGHT GAUGE THAT
GIVES READING IN INCHES OF WATER COLUMN. ALL OTHER METHOD (CANDLE, MATCHES,
ETC.) ARE UNRELIABLE.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR STOVE HAS TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CAN/CSA B-139
INSTALLATION CODE FOR OIL-BURNING EQUIPMENT IN CANADA AND STANDARD NFPA 31
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARD FOR OIL-BURNING EQUIPMENT IN THE
U.S..
NOTE :
THE INSTALLATION SHALL BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED PERSON MEMBER OF THE CORPORATION
IN FORCE IN YOUR AREA.

OPERATION 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. Drolet Stoves & Fireplaces declines all responsibility
regarding damage cause by using other combustibles.
•Make sure to use oil without impurities which may plug filters and valve’s orifice. Impurities only give an
improper combustion.
Lighting
BEFORE LIGHTING
•make sure that :
ØThe tank is full;
ØThe isolating valve is open;
•See that the ring is in the right position.(figure
23).
•Make sure that the flow regulating handle is in
the « 0» position (figure 24).
•If it’s not already done, arm down the valve’s
lever located behind the stove (figure 25).
•Wait for the valve to fill up and let the level
stabilize.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR
STOVE, MAKE SURE THAT THE FLOW
REGULATING HANDLE IS IN THE 0 POSITION. Figure 23 :Burner, ring and catalyst
Figure 24 :Constant level flow control
valve (carburetor) Figure 25 :Arming / dearming flow control valve (carburetor)..
ATTENTION: DUE TO HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY

Page 17 of 23
Lighting (cont’d)
•Place the flow regulating handle on the "1" position, as soon as the oil enters the burner
return to "0" position.
•Open the door and pore into the burner 2 to 3 once (75 ml) of lighting gel or wood alcohol.
NOTE : USE OF LIGHTING GEL IS BETTER OF A SAFE IGNITION.
•With a long wood match, ignite carefully and close the door.
•After a couple of minutes (before alcohol goes out) the burner and the chimney are hot, place
the flow regulator handle on "1" position.
Note :Do not leave matches or other materials in the burner in order to keep it
clean. It allows a better combustion.
IF YOU MISS THE STOVE’S LIGHTING, ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE
BURNER TO COOL DOWN TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE USING
BURNING ALCOHOL AGAIN.
IF, FURTHER TO SOME MISOPERATION, THE BURNER IS FILLED
WITH IMPORTANT QUANTITIES OF OIL, ALL OF THE OIL MUST FIRST
BE REMOVED BEFORE LIGHTING THE STOVE AGAIN.
Changing intensity
•Always wait 10 minutes minimum before increasing the flow (between each position). This allows
flamme to stabilize and avoid suiting up.
•No waiting is needed to decrease the flow.
Turning the stove off
•Set the flow regulating handle to position ‘’0’’.
•If you plan to keep the stove off for a long while, it is recommended to disarm the valve’s lever and
close the tap on the pipe between the stove and your oil tank.
ALWAYS KEEP THE VALVE SHUT OFF WHEN THE BURNER IS NOT OPERATING

Page 18 of 23
MAINTENANCE
ONCE A WEEK :
•Clean the oil inlet tube of the burner with the
cleaning tee :
ØPush in the rod of the cleaning tee while
turning it;
Ømove back and forth operation 2 or 3
times;
ØPull it back into place to finish the
operation.
Figure 26 :Cleaning tee
WHEN YOUR STOVE IS RUNNING, ALWAYS KEEP THE CLEANING TEE LEVER PULLED BACK
INTO PLACE.
ONCE A MONTH OR TWO :
•Clean with a metallic brush :
•The burner’s shell;
•The burner’s rings;
•The burner’s catalyst (in blue flame model).
AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH HEATING SEASON :
•Clean the valve and tank filters;
•Inspect the smoke box through the opening of the rear flue outlet;
•Clean the chimney and flue pipe.
MAKE SURE THAT ALL HAND VALVES ARE CLOSED BEFORE CLEANING PROCEDURES.
WHEN NEEDED :
•Clean the glass door;
•The glasses have to be cleaned only when the stove is cold. Use commercial product for this purpose,
or a water and vinegar solution.
