Contents

Thank you for purchasing a Beckett burner for use with your heating appliance.

Please pay attention to the Safety Warnings contained within this instruction manual. Keep this manual for your records and provide it to your qualiﬁ ed service agency for use in professionally setting up and maintaining your oil burner.

Your Beckett burner will provide years of efﬁ cient operation if it is professionally installed and maintained by a qualiﬁ ed service technician. If at any time the burner does not appear to be operating properly,

immediately contact your qualiﬁ ed service agency for consultation.

We recommend annual inspection/ service of your oil heating system by a qualiﬁ ed service agency.

Daily – Check the room in which your

burner/appliance is installed. Make sure:

Air ventilation openings are clean and

unobstructed

Nothing is blocking burner inlet air

openings

No combustible materials are stored

near the heating appliance

There are no signs of oil or water

leaking around the burner or appliance

Weekly

Check your oil tank level. Always

keep your oil tank full, especially during the summer, in order to prevent condensation of moisture on the inside surface of the tank.

Intended to bring special attention to information, but not related to

personal injury or property damage.

Professional Service Required

Incorrect installation, adjustment, and use of this burner could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage from ﬁ re, carbon monoxide poisoning, soot or explosion.

Please read and understand the manual supplied with this equipment. This equipment must be installed, adjusted and put into operation only by a qualiﬁ ed individual or service agency that is:

Licensed or certiﬁ ed to install and provide technical

Fire, Smoke & Asphyxiation Hazard

Carefully inspect the chimney or exhaust vent

system.

Make sure it is properly sized and in good working

condition.

Follow the instructions supplied by the appliance

manufacturer.

The installation must strictly comply with all

applicable codes, authorities having jurisdiction and the latest revision of the National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 31 for the installation of chimneys and vent sizing, (or CSA-B139 and CSAB140 in Canada).

Regulation by these authorities take precedence

over the general instructions provided in this installation manual.

The new designs of high efﬁ ciency oil furnaces and boilers in conjunction with ﬂ ame retention oil burners are more efﬁ cient. One result of increased efﬁ ciency is lower ﬂ ue gas temperatures. As ﬂ ue gases rise in the chimney, they will cool and condense when they reach the dew point. The condensation will mix with the sulphur in the ﬂ ue gases creating sulphuric acid. The acid will attack the chimney mortar, brick and clay liners causing corrosion, deterioration and blockage of the chimney.
