INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATING THE APPLIANCE
• Position the appliance as close as possible to the chimney.
• Many configuration 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 appliance pipe manufacturers. Larger clearances always prevail.

• IMPORTANT: It is essential to ensure that the room in which the appliance is installed is sufficiently
ventilated to provide an adequate air supply.
• It is possible that if your home is well insulated, that you will have to install an outside fresh air intake.
THE BURNING OF ONE LITRE OF FUEL (OIL) REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY 30 M3 OF AIR AND WILL
PRODUCE ABOUT 0.8 KG OF WATER OF WATER VAPOR AND 9 M3 OF CARBONE DIOXIDE AND
ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN. A SOURCE OF AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE IS NEEDED TO REPLACE
COMBUSTION AIR.

Page 4 of 15
CHIMNEY INFORMATIONS
• Before the hook up of the appliance, inspect the chimney to ensure that it is in good condition and that the
quality of the flue will allow a sufficient draft. For a good combustion, refer to the technical data of the
appliance to know the minimum draft required.
• Factory built (A) or (L) type chimney is approved for this appliance. The chimney has to be well insulated;
a chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a good draft and condensation will occur.
• Chimney sections must be of constant diameter. 5" factory built chimney is required An excessively large
diameter will produce too great of a volume, which is more difficult to heat.
•
When the appliance is installed on a masonry chimney witch is often oversize, it’s required to use a
stainless steel liner of 5" diameter inside the existing chimney.
•
The chimney should be no less than 15' high (including appliance pipes). The chimney has to extend no
less than 3' above the point it exits the roof and 2' higher than any roof, or any other obstacles within a
horizontal distance of 10'.
• CHIMNEY MINMUM HEIGHT :
Height of chimney should 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 wich it comes in contact with
the roof. ref.: standard B-139 - 4.2.2.11.
YOUR APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN
ADEQUATE DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO ENSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF
THE BURNER
Page 6
Page 5 of 15
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CHIMNEY
• The gases are vented from the back of the appliance. The female part of the black pipe connector has to
be installed toward the flue connector of the appliance. Secure all connections with the (3) self taping
screws, with 120o distance between each of them.
• The connection between appliance pipes and chimney has to be perfectly airtight.
• A maximum horizontal lent of 8' is allowed. Make sure to have a 1/4" slope per foot minimum.
• Do not use more than two 90o Elbows while connecting the appliance to the chimney.
• It is strictly forbidden to pass through combustible materials walls, floors and ceilings with appliance pipe
connectors.
DIRECT HORIZONTAL CONNECTION :
You may choose to connect your appliance 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.
• THE CHIMNEY MUST NOT BE SHARED WITH
OTHER APPLIANCES
• 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 not to use more than two (2)
90º elbows and the necessary straight sections
to connect your appliance to the chimney.
Figure 8: VERTICAL CONNECTION.

LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE
• Now that the appliance is in place and properly
hooked up to the chimney, you have to adjust the
level of the burner.
• Put the level on the burner flange parallel to the
door. (Figure 9A). Screw or unscrew the
adjustable legs to level the burner with a 7/16" or
10 mm key.
• Put the level on the burner flange parallel to the
sides. (Figure 9B). Screw or unscrew the
adjustable legs to level the burner with a 7/16" or
10 mm key
Figure 9A: LEVELLING THE BURNER
IMPORTANT :
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE BURNER
ALWAYS STAND ON LEVEL TO ALLOW A
PROPER OIL VAPOR DISTRIBUTION THROUGH
THE RINGS, AND A BETTER OIL INLET.
Figure 9B: LEVELLING THE BURNER
FIXATION OF THE APPLIANCE TO FLOOR
• The appliance must be fixed 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 appliance on
an non combustible surface covering at least to
the dimensions of the appliance.
Figure 10: INSTALLATION OF FIXATION
BRACKETS
Page 8
Page 7 of 15
CONNECTING APPLIANCE 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 appliance.
• Make sure that there is a small slope on the connection from the tank toward the appliance.
• 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 ADJACENT TO ANY SOURCE OF
INTENSE HEAT.
Figure 11 : APPLIANCE AND OIL TANK CONNECTION
Page 9
Page 8 of 15
ADJUSTING THE DRAFT
• Your appliance operated with natural draft, created by the ascension of combustion gases in the chimney.
This movement creates a suction effect in the appliance and forces ambient air to go in the burner by the
holes in its surround. These orifices let air in for combustion.
• For the appliance to function properly, it is essential to check the quality of the draft using a draft gauge.
The draft is usually measured in inches of water column.
• Check the minimum draft required of the appliance on page 1. The draft mentioned has to be reached
rapidly at a minimum settling (position #1).
• Depending on the model, the draft can be taken by the orifice on the cooking surface. The measure can
also be taken by the orifice on the draft regulator usually plugged by a rubber cap. The orifice on the
cooking surface is still the best area.
IMPORTANT : ALWAYS MEASURE THE DRAFT 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.
DRAFT REGULATOR
• An excessive draft is as bad as a low one.
• The regulator controls the draft when it is
excessive (in high winds for example).
• If the draft exceeds 0.08 in of water column, you
will have to adjust the regulator.
To adjust the draft you have to screw or unscrew the
counterweight on the regulator. Opened regulator:
lowers the draft. Closed regulator: increases the draft
Figure 12: DRAFT REGULATOR
THE ONLY RIGHT WAY OF MEASURING THE DRAFT IS TO USE A DRAFT GAUGE THAT GIVES A
READING IN INCHES OF WATER COLUMN. ANY OTHER METHOD (CANDLE, MATCHES, ETC.) ARE
UNRELIABLE.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE SHALL 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 appliance has been design 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 will 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 appliance (figure
14A).
• Wait for the valve to fill up and let the level
stabilize.
• BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR
APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE THAT THE
FLOW REGULATING HANDLE IS IN THE
0 POSITION.

Page 10 of 15
LIGHTING (CONT’D)
• Place the flow regulating handle on the "1" position, as soon as the oil has started flowing into 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 : USING LIGHTING GEL IS BETTER FOR A SAFE IGNITION.
• With a long wood match or a BBQ lighter ignite carefully and close the door.
• After a couple of minutes (before alcohol goes out) the burner and the chimney are will have
warmed, 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 APPLIANCE’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 FINDS ITSELF
WITH AN EXCESS QUANTITY OF OIL, ALL OF THE OIL MUST FIRST BE
REMOVED BEFORE LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE AGAIN.
CHANGING INTENSITY
•
Always wait 10 minutes minimum before increasing the flow (between each position). This allows flame to
stabilize and prevents soot build-up.
•
No waiting is needed to decrease the flow.
Page 12
Page 11 of 15
TURNING THE APPLIANCE OFF
• Set the flow regulating handle to position 0.
• If you plan to keep the appliance off for a long while, it is recommended to disarm the valve’s lever and
close the tap on the pipe between the appliance 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 APPLIANCE 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 door glasses.
• Always clean the glasses when the appliance is cold. Use commercial product for this purpose, or a water
and vinegar solution.
