3.Operating instructions
3.1. Fuel
Warning : Your stove is fitted with a specific float
regulator for a specific oil.The fuel oil must be free from
any dirt and water which could disturb the stove in
operation.
Use only kerosene (28 seconds)
3.2. Lighting procedure
- Remove Catalyser from burner through front door
(# 4, 5 and 6 of ill. 3, p. 4) . Make sure the inside of pot
is cleaned thoroughly.
Be sure the control knob is to “0".
- Turn on oil supply,
- Push down gently on the safety lever (# 3 of ill. 11). This
will allow the oil to flow into the regulator.
- Open the front door, and remove the catalyser from bur-
ner. Make sure the inside of the pot is clean thoroughly,
and there is no oil accumulation.
- Place 2 tablespoons of methylated spirit or gelled alcohol
in the bottom of the pot. Light the starter gel or methylated
spirit with a fireplace match or long butane lighter. Place
the catalyser back into the burner, being sure it is centered
in the burner. Shut the main door.
- Allow the catalyser to heat approximately 30 to 45 sec..
Turn DAIL to “1" position.
- Allow 10 to 15 minutes for oil fire and draught to stabilize.
The catalyser should glow red before adjusting the control
knob to a higher setting,
3.3. Operating procedure
• Allow 10 to 15 minutes after lighting to adjust the control
knob to a higher setting, usually between a “2" and ”4"
setting.
When adjusting the heat output, move the control knob
only 1 number in either direction, allowing 5 minutes be-
tween moves for the flame to re-adjust to new setting.
• If the burner stops during operating, immediatly turn
off the control knob (position “0") and wait until the
burner is completely cool before repeating the lighting
procedure.
3.4. Shutting down
- Set dial to the"0" position,
- Raise the safety lever of the regulator.
- Allow the flame to burn out completely before opening
the door
3.5. Recommendation
- The adjustment of your unit has been carried out by
your installer. Do not attempt to further adjust. Any
anomaly of operation must be reported at once to your
installer.
- The appliance body does reach high temperatures
and it is recommended that a fire guard be used to
protect small children and elderly people from the risks
of burns and accidents.
- Do not overfire.If the unit or chimney connector starts
to glow you are overfiring.
Racing : Very important flame generating vibrations :
cause by too much oil in the pot due to the height of dial
setting and/or lack of draught.
- turn off oil supply until fire has decreased to a steady
burn rate.
3.6. Maintenance of the stove
Every week : operate the de scaling lever (# 2 of
ill. 11) :
- Pull the rod then push the rod in rotating completely
two or three times (Caution : the rod is hot).
Every 3 or 4 months : clean the burner completely.
- Remove all the internal parts (# 4, 5 & 6, ill. 3, p. 4)
and clean the burner pot.
At least once a year : clean the filters of the oil supply.
To clean the filter of the regulator :
- set the regulation knob in position “0",
- turn off the tank valve or the valve of the oil supply,
- raise the safety lever of the regulator,
- place a small container under the aperture of the filter
in order to collect the oil contained in the regulator,
- remove the plug of the filter located under the
regulator (# 4, ill. 11) with a screwdriver,
