Hearth
The stove must stand on a fireproof hearth made of non-combustible material
and be of sufficient size to accommodate the stove (Fig:1).
Fire Surround
It is recommended that a fire surround should not be closer than 610mm from
the stove if manufactured from combustible material.
b. CHIMNEY / INSTALLATION
The stove is supplied with a collar for 5” internal diameter flue pipe. 4”
diameter flue pipe may be used with a suitable adaptor.
The stove should be connected to a chimney/flue of not less than 4” internal
diameter. A continuous stainless steel liner (min 4” diameter), suitable for oil,
should be used to line an existing chimney. The minimum flue height should
be 15ft. In all cases the chimney should conform to relevant Building
Regulations. Alternatively a clay liner to BS1181 may be used.
1) The fabric of the chimney must be sound and free from
obstructions. Any air leaks and bad joints must be rectified.
2) The chimney should be terminated in such a manner to prevent
ingress of rain.
3) The chimney must serve the stove alone and not be shared with
any other appliance.

5
4) External flues of asbestos or cast iron pipe should not be used.
Excessive exposure will result in heat loss and poor
performance.
5) Means of sweeping should be included.
IMPORTANT
For the burner to function correctly at maximum efficiency a steady flue draft
not exceeding 0.12” w.c. and not less than 0.04” w.c. is required. The draft
should be assessed with a reliable manometer as described in “6
Commissioning”. Down draft cannot be tolerated and arrangements must
be made to overcome this condition when it occurs. Flue pipe connection
should be made with good quality fire cement to make sure of an airtight seal
between the stove and flue pipe. Any soot door, register plate etc, must also
be sealed to form an airtight joint. No air should enter the chimney except
through the inlets through the stove.
c. VENTILATION
Ventilation should be in accordance with national regulations.
d. OIL SUPPLY (FIG 2)
Each stove is factory set for use on either Kerosene or Diesel. Incoming oil
supply should not be of less than 8mm diameter copper. Make the oil
connection to the stove. The oil connection is ¼” NPT on the oil valve at the
rear of the stove.
The data plate on the back of the stove is marked either Kerosene or Diesel.
Additionally check the label on the oil valve (fig 5). Use only the correct fuel
oil.

Position log No: 8 as shown. Close the stove door.
6. INSTALLING THE STOVE
The installation should be inspected to ensure that the work is complete and
the workmanship satisfactory. No stove should be installed if any part of the
installation does not comply with relevant standards and regulations.
It is recommended that the following procedure is carried out to ensure that
the oil is free of contaminates (e.g. water).
Ensure that the fire valve is closed. Temporarily uncouple the inlet pipe at the
oil valve on the stove, open the fire valve and collect approximately one litre of
oil into a suitable receptacle. If dirt or water is present in this sample,
additional oil should be run off until it is free of contaminates.
Close the fire valve, reconnect the inlet pipe and re-open the fire valve.
Inspect the pipe work and ensure there are no leaks.
Level the stove using the four adjustable feet provided. Check that the Toby
oil valve is level. Connect a suitable draught gauge to the flue.
Push the flue baffle handle fully forwards towards the wall. Check that the
control knob will only go to setting No.l. If another setting, i.e. No.2 is
possible, adjust the CAM so that only setting No.1 is possible (Fig.2).
Flue Stabiliser (Fig: 2)
Check the setting of the stabiliser. This should be adjusted if necessary to
start to open at a flue draught of approximately 0.06”w.c.

9
Operating the Stove
Pull the flue baffle handle fully forwards to the open position (Fig: 2). Lift up
the oil valve arming lever and release (Fig:2 and Fig:5).
Remove the burner chamber door and remove the burner lighting plug (Fig:
3). Insert the end of the kindler supplied into the lighting port and push the
kindler down to the bottom of the pot. Turn the oil control knob to the highest
setting (No: 3) and allow a few seconds for the kindler to absorb fuel then turn
the control knob to the OFF position. Remove the kindler, light and re-insert
into the pot. Turn the control knob to setting No: 2.
After about five minutes, remove the kindler, check the fuel is alight, replace
the lighting plug and close the chamber door. Allow the kindler to cool, then
store in the tray below the control valve.
After approximately 10 minutes, turn the control knob to the maximum (No.3)
setting, and push the flue baffle handle fully towards the wall. If necessary
adjust the stabiliser at the back of the stove to give a good flame picture
without 'excessive soot. Check the flue draught is not exceeding 0.12"
w.c. and not less than 0,04" w.c. Inspect all pipe work and ensure there are
no leaks.
The maximum and minimum oil consumption is factory set and should not
need adjustment (Fig: 5).
If the flame is too blue, check stove is level back to front and left to right. If
flame is still too blue, the flue draught may be too strong – adjust the
stabiliser.
If the flame is too yellow, flue draught is too low or 'the stabiliser is open too
much.
Turn the stove off by turning the control knob fully clockwise to the OFF
position.

7. CUSTOMER BRIEFING
Hand these instructions and the User Instructions to the Customer. Advise
the Customer how to use the stove. Do not attempt to re-light the stove
until it is cold. Point out that the operating procedure is in the User
Instructions. Advise that if the stove goes out for any reason, wait until the
stove is cold before re-lighting. Advise the Customer that due to the new
material the stove may give off a slight smell for a period of time after
commissioning. This is quite normal and odours should dispense after a few
hours operation. Stress that no extra coals or logs must be added over and
above those supplied with the stoves, and that any replacements must only
be authorised Ouzledale spares.
Advise that the stove is designed for continuous use between minimum (No:
1) and maximum (No: 3) settings and should only be turned off in summer.
It is recommended that the stove be annually serviced during the summer
months, and the flue system checked by qualified persons.
8. SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
A qualified person (OFTEC) should carry out the following procedures
annually. Ensure that the stove is turned off and cold.
a. Examine the flue for evidence of heavy sooting and where this is
evident, the flue should be swept.
b. Examine all flue joints and reseal where necessary.
c. Open the stove door. Remove the ceramic logs and clean
carefully with a soft brush.
d. Remove the burner catalyser and support plate and assess it’s
suitability for a further 12-months operation (Fig: 4).
Deterioration or heavy black carbon deposits indicate poor flue
draft. Red oxidation should not be cleaned off, as this aids
efficient burning on LOW rate.
e. Examine the inside faces of the burner pot for deposits and
clean as necessary.
f. Slacken the brass nut on the de-coking lever by a ¼ of a turn,
and rotate the lever whilst withdrawing approximately 30mm.
Insert the lever fully back in whilst continuing to rotate. Re-
tighten the brass nut (Fig: 3).
g. Remove any soot or debris from the stove and drip tray.
h. Examine the glass for damage and replace if necessary.
i. Clean the glass with a proprietary glass cleaner. DO NOT USE
AN ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENT.
j. Examine the door rope seal and replace if necessary.
k. Examine the oil valve and control knob extension for damage.
l. Examine all pipe work for signs of leaks.
m. Re-assemble the catalyser and support plate (Fig: 4).
n. Re-assemble the ceramic logs.
o. Close the stove door.
p. Install the stove as described in Section: 6 “Installing the Stove”.
