1.5. Operating principle

Furnace oil is fed to the burner floor (fig. 2) where is it
ignited by means of a firestarter. The heat produced by
this flame brings the burner temperature to the required
level to vaporize the fuel. Oil will only burn as a vapour
not a liquid.

Room combustion air enters the burner through the air
inlet holes (# 1).

In the center of the burner is the catalyser (# 2) which
aids in vaporizing the fuel. When the stove is operation,
the catalyser glows red. The stove should not be used
with out both the catalyser (# 2c), catalyser top (# 2b)
and ring (# 2a).

A de-scaling lever (# 5) can be pushed and pulled in and
out as well as turning slightly at the same time to keep
the inlet pipe clear of carbon buildup.

The stove float regulator (fig. 3) contains a filter (# G) to
trap impurities.

A safety lever (# B) controls fuel flow. Oil can only enter
the float chamber when the safety lever is depressed.

Oil temperature variations will affect the oil flow into the
float chamber. A float in the chamber raises the fuel
level available to the burner.

The carburetor is also controlled by a control knob
which turns from “0" (off) to ”6" (high setting).

A draft regulator (# 1, fig. 11) ensures a constant air
intake to the burner regardless of external factors.

“Le Beffroi” ref. 174 10 54 Installation instructions

2. Installation instructions

SAFETY NOTICE : Read carefully all instructions

before starting the installation. If the stove is not
properly installed, a house fire may result. For your
safety, follow the installation directions. Contact local
building or fire officials about restrictions and
installation inspection in your area.

2.1. Position of the unit

The position of the appliance must be chosen very

-

carefully in order to obtain the best possible results for
heat distribution.

Position the unit to comply with the minimum

-

clearances to combustible material. Minimum
clearances are shown from the vertical portion of the
chimney connector. Check that no overhead cross
members in the ceiling will be cut. Reposition unit if
necessary, being careful not to move closer than the
minimum clearances.

Outside air : For the oil stove to function properly, an

-

adequate supply of combustion air is required.

2.2. Chimney

Ensure that the flue has sufficient draught (refer to

-

technical details).
Minimum flue diameter, 10 cm (4" I.D).

-

The chimney must be at least 4.5 m (15 ft high).

-

- The flue must not be shared with any other appliance.

-

Downdraughts caused by obstacles close to the
chimney top may sometimes be prevented by fitting an
anti-downdraught cap to the top of the chimney.

-

The chimney must have a constant cross section. Too
large a flue could affect the chimney draught.

-

The chimney must be soundly constructed, in order to
prevent cold air infiltration.

-

The flue must be well insulated, water and air tight. A
chimney with a cold internal surface can prevent a
good chimney draught and condensation will occur.

-

The flue must be swept at least once a year.

2.3. External tank

A barometric fuel tank should not be positionned where
it will be in the direct rays of the sun or adjacent to a
source of intense heat.

If the tank is more than 8 ft (2,5 m) higher than the stove
a pressure reducer must be installed on the oil line.

If the tank is lower than the stove a lift pump will have to
be utilized.

A clearance of 6 “ (15 cm) must be maintained between
the external/remote tank and the stove.
