INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATING THE STOVE
• Install the stove as close to the chimney as possible.
• Many configurations are possible, the most frequent are illustrated in figures 1, 2 and 3.
• Respect clearances indicated on page 1. They have been tested according to approvals.
• Always respect clearances of stove pipes manufacturers. Larger clearances always prevail.

• IMPORTANT: It is essential to ensure that the room where the stove is located is sufficiently
ventilated to provide an adequate air supply.
• If your home is well insulated, it is possible that you will have to install an outside fresh air intake.
THE BURNING OF ONE LITRE OF FUEL (OIL) REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY 30 M3OF AIR AND
WILL PRODUCE ABOUT 0.8 KG OF WATER OF WATER VAPOR AND 9 M3OF CARBONE
DIOXIDE AND ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN. A SOURCE OF AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE IS NEEDED
TO REPLACE COMBUSTION AIR.
Page 2 of 15

CHIMNEY INFORMATIONS
• Before the hook up of the stove, check if the chimney is in good condition and that the quality of
the flue pipe will allow a sufficient draught. For a good combustion, refer to the technical data of
the stove to know the minimum draught required.
• Factory built ‘’A’’ type chimney or ‘’L’’ type chimney are approved for this unit. The chimney has to
be well insulated. A chimney too cold can affect the gas temperature and lower draught effects.
Low gas temperature will tend to condense and freeze or leak in your chimney.
• 5" factory built chimney is required. Using a larger flue tends to expand combustion gas and cools
them off witch has for result of lowering the draught effects. Gas expansion reduces the speed of
the draught and have the same effects.
• When the unit is installed on a masonry chimney which is often oversize, it’s required to use a
stainless steel liner of 5" diameter inside the existing chimney.
• The chimney has to reach a minimum of 15' high (including stove pipes). The chimney has to
extend not less than 3' above the point it exits the roof and 2' higher than any roof, building other
obstacle within a horizontal distance of 10'.
• CHIMNEY MINMUM HEIGHT :
Height of chimney should not be inferior
than 15’ (4.6 m).
Figure 4: CHIMNEY MINMUM HEIGHT
• CLEARANCES WITH ROOF SUMMIT AND
BUILDING NEARBY :
The chimney flue shall extend at least 2’ (0,6
m) above the highest roof surface or
structure within 10’ (3,0 m) horizontally of
the chimney.
Figure 5: 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 CHIMNEY HAVING SUFFICIENT
DRAUGHT AT ALL TIMES TO ASSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE
BURNER.
Page 3 of 15

CONNECTING THE STOVE TO THE CHIMNEY
• The gases are vented from the back of the unit. The female part of the black pipe connector has to
be installed toward the flue connector of the stove. Secure all connections with the (3) self taping
screws, with 120odistance between each of them.
• The connection between stove pipes and chimney has to be perfectly sealed.
• A maximum horizontal length of 8' is allowed. Make sure to have a 1/4" slope per foot minimum.
• Do not use more than two 90oElbows while connecting the stove to the chimney.
• It is strictly forbidden to pass through combustible materials walls, floors and ceilings with stove
pipe connectors.
• DIRECT HORIZONTAL CONNECTION :
You may choose to connect your stove to
the chimney with an horizontal flue pipe.
Figure 6: HORIZONTAL CONNECTION .
• CEILING CONNECTION :
In the case where your chimney starts from
the ceiling, use one 90º elbow and the
necessary straight sections.
Figure 7: CEILING CONNECTION .
• DO NOT CONNECT MORE THAN ONE
STOVE TO YOUR CHIMNEY.
• FIX FLUE PIPES TOGETHER WITH
METAL SCREWS.
• MAKE SURE YOU RESPECT A ¼’’ SLOPE
PER FOOT OF HORIZONTAL PIPE
LENGTH.
• RESPECT CAREFULLY CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES PRESCRIBED BY FLUE
PIPES MANUFACTURERS.
• FLUE PIPES CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES DEPEND ON FLUE
PIPES TYPE AND MANUFACTURERS
• VERTICAL CONNECTION :
It is recommended to not use more than two
(2) 90º elbows and the necessary straight
sections to connect your stove to the
chimney.
Figure 8: VERTICAL CONNECTION .

LEVELING THE UNIT
• Now that the stove is in place and properly
hooked up to the chimney, you have to adjust
the level on the burner.
• Put the level in the middle of the burner
parallel to the door. (Figure 9A). Screw or
unscrew the adjustable legs to level the
burner with a 7/16" key (10 mm).
• Put the level in the middle of the burner
parallel to the sides. (Figure 9B). Screw or
unscrew the adjustable legs to level the
burner with a 7/16" key.
Figure 9A: LEVELLING THE BURNER
IMPORTANT :
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LEVEL THE
BURNER TO ALLOW A PROPER OIL VAPOR
DISTRIBUTION THROUGH THE RINGS, AND A
BETTER OIL INLET.
Figure 9B: LEVELLING THE BURNER
FIXATION OF STOVE TO FLOOR
• The unit has to be stabilized in its location
using the two fixation brackets. Install the
brackets on the two back adjustable legs.
(figure 11)
• If the flooring is made of combustible
material it would be preferable to install the
unit on an non combustible surface covering
at least the dimensions of the stove.
Figure 10: INSTALLATION OF FIXATION
BRACKETS
Page 5 of 15

CONNECTING STOVE 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 11 : STOVE AND OIL TANK CONNECTION
Page 6 of 15

ADJUSTING THE DRAUGHT
• Your stove operated 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.
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 exempla).
• If the draught exceeds 0.08 in of water
column, you will have to adjust the regulator.
• 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 12: DRAUGHT REGULATOR
THE ONLY RIGHT WAY OF MEASURING THE DRAUGHT IS TO USE A DRAUGHT GAUGE THAT
GIVES A 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..
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. The manufacturer 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 :
 The tank is full;
 The isolating valve is open;
• See that the (3) rings are in the right
position. Each of them are stamped A, B
and C (figure 13).
• Make sure that the flow regulating handle is
in the « 0 » position (figure 14b).
• If it’s not already done, arm down the valve’s
lever located behind the stove (figure 14A).
• 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.

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 FOR 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
flame to stabilize and avoid suiting up.
• No waiting is needed to decrease the flow.
Page 9 of 15

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
MAINTENANCE
ONCE A WEEK :
• Clean the oil inlet tube of the burner with the
cleaning tee :
 Push in the rod of the cleaning tee while
turning it;
 Move back and forth operation 2 or 3
times;
 Pull it back into place to finish the
operation.
Figure 15 : 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.
