1.5.Operating principle

Heatis mainlydiffusedby radiation, through thewindow
and body of the appliance. The speed control is
obtained by control the oil flow into the burner.

The stove is fitted with a vaporizing burner (fig. 3).
Furnace oil is fed to the burner floor where is it ignited
by means of a firestarter (or with an optional electrical
igniter). The heat produced by this flame brings the
burner temperatureto the required level to vaporize the
oil. Oil will only burn as a vapour not a liquid.

Combustion air enters the burner through the air holes
(# 1, fig. 3). In the center of the burner is the catalyser
(# 2), which aids the the good combustion.

On the feed-line there is a de-scaling lever (# 5). The
de-scaling lever can be operated to keep the inlet pipe
clear of carbon buildup.

The stove float regulator (fig.4) contains a filter(# G)to
trap impurities. A safety lever controls oil flow (# B). A
float in the chamber raises the oil level available to the
burner.

Oil can only enter the float chamber when the safety
lever is depressed.

The carburetor is alsocontrolled by a control knob (# 2,
fig. 14, p. 8) which turns from “off" to ”high setting".

A draftregulator (# 1, fig. 9, p. 6) ensures a constantair
intake to the burner regardless of external factors.

2.Installation instructions

2.1.Warning to the user

An inc orrectly installed heating appliance can
cause serious accidents (chimney fires, burning of

plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.).
The installation must be carried out according to local

building regulations.
The manufacturers responsibility shall be limited to the

supply of the equipment.

2.2.Position of the unit

Ventilation :

For s atisfac tory operation with a na tu ral draught,
check that sufficient air for combustion is available in
the room.

In houses equipped with mechanical ventilation, an
outside air intake must be installed for the chimney.

Chimney position :

For new chimney installations, select a central position

within the building, to provide a good heat distribution
around the building.

Position the unit to comply with the minimum
clearances to combustible material (fig. 1, p. 3).

2.3. Chimney

•The flue must be in good condition and must provide

sufficient draught. (refer to technical details p. 3).

•The flue must be suitable for the installation of fuel

burning appliances and comply with Current Building
Regulations.

•The flu e must be clean. It should be swept to remove

soot and dislodge tar deposits.

•Thefluemustbe well insulate d, 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 watertight.

•The chimney must have a constant cross section.

p. 8). Pull the rod, then push the rod in rotating 360
degrees two or three times.

(CAUTION : The rod is HOT).

•Every3or4months: Clean the burner completely.

- Remove and brush off the parts of the catalyser, using

a soft bristle brush.

- Loosen any carbon soot from the burner with a putty

knife, and vacuum clean. Ensure that the small air
holes are free of carbon.

- When replacingtheburner,tightenthe nuts evenly and

connect the pipe so as to be airtight.

•At least once a year / Endof heatingseason : Clean

or replace the oil filters of the oil supply line (# 5,
fig. 14, p. 8).
