Lighting into the base of the Pot
On the first light up you may find this option better,
as it is possible to see the oil trickle in to the pot
more easily.
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.
Open the front door.
Remove the optional coal kit if fitted.
Remove the catalyser.
Turn the oil on and allow a small pool of oil to flow into
the pot about the size of a small biscuit,
then turn
the oil off.
Note that on first light up it may take a few
minutes for the oil to reach the pot as it has to fill
the pipework before reaching the pot, take care
not to allow excess oil to flow into the pot.
Light a small piece of firelighter and drop it into the
oil, allow a few seconds for it to get going and then
replace the catalyser and coal kit if fitted, and close
the door.
Wait for approx. 1 minute until the pool of oil is alight
and then
turn the oil on to minimum setting no 1.
Watch the appliance for a few minutes and you will see
the flame establish and settle down into blue flame
combustion.
Allow the burner to run for a further 10 minutes
before turning the appliance up to the higher settings.
If at any time during the ignition process large
amounts of flame can be seen, turn the oil off
immediately and wait until the flames die down before
putting the oil on again at minimum setting.
Manual Lighting through the Lighting Port B1 and
B2 appliances.
Check that the isolation valve is turned on.
Open the front door.
Remove the front apron on B1 Half Pod and B1 pie Pod.
Remove the lighting port plug by pulling it out of its
tubular socket.
Turn the oil on to the first position via the flow
control knob and allow a small pool of oil to flow into
the pot about the size of a small biscuit.
Turn the oil off.
Cut a small piece of firelighter and stab it onto the
spike.
Light it and push it into the lighting port tube, let the
firelighter drop off the spike into the bottom of the
pot.
Replace the lighting port plug back into the tube.
Close the front door.
Turn the fuel flow on again at the lowest setting
Watch the appliance for a few minutes until it settles
down into blue flame combustion.
Allow the burner to run for a further 10 minutes
before turning the appliance up to the higher settings.
If at any time during the ignition process large
amounts of flame cane be seen, turn the oil off
immediately and wait until they die down before
putting the oil on again.
Note there may be the occasional growl or audible
vibration whilst the burner settles down into blue
flame combustion.

SERIES
Used in B1 Half Pod, B1 Pie Pod and B2
When the burner has established good blue flame
combustion turn it up to half output. (Setting 3 on the
fuel flow control knob) and let it stabilize.
Allow at least half an hour for the chimney to
warm up thoroughly before making any adjustments
to the high or low fire screws.
Turn the stove down onto minimum firing rate and let
it stabilize.
After stabilization there should be a dull red glow in
the lower catalyser with wispy blue flames flicking into
and just over it.
If the flame falls into a dirty rolling yellow flame and
the catalyser is not dull red then the low fire will need
to be increased until it can support the required blue
flame combustion.
To increase the low fire oil flow, screw the adjusting
screw out by quarter turn increments.
When you are happy with the low fire, set the high
fire.
Turn the oil flow knob up to setting 4, let the flame
stabilize, and look at it, if it is stable and blue, turn it
up slowly using the control knob, letting it stabilize
after each movement, if the flame starts to go yellow
with long flame combustion, it is running fuel rich and
