OIL CONTROL VALVE (O.C.V.), which is situated at
the right hand side of the stove, behind the right
hand side panel.
On dry stoves the oil flow is controlled by turning the
knob anti clockwise from its off position.
The knob is located at the top right hand side of the
stove and is calibrated from off position (fully
clockwise) through 6 graduations to maximum.
It is possible to fit different makes of oil control
valves to Bubble Stoves, make sure that you have the
relevant separate valve document and that you are
fully familiar with the operation of the particular valve
which is fitted to your stove.

On the first light up you may find the first option
easier, as you can see the oil trickle in to the pot more
easily.
You must use a heatproof glove when putting the
catalysers back into the pot and it is important to
replace them quickly whilst the flame is small.
Make sure that the oil is turned off and make sure
that the oil safety cut off knob is lifted (tripped on)
