If  the appliance is  fired up at full  output it will run on full flame until it achieves the target 
water temperature, set by rotating the stat knob to the desired position, (clockwise to reduce 
temperature, anti clockwise to increase temperature) 
The flame then drops to its low fire position, from there on it will automatically modulate the 
flame from high to low in line with the heating load demand. 
ADJUSTMENT OF THE OPERATING STAT 
Set point of the operating stat can be adjusted as follows. 
The thermostat drive knob has a plastic push on cover which slips over it and grips it acting as 
an adjustable driver. 
The  plastic  driver  has  a  dead  stop  which  acts  against  a  small  brass  screw  so  restricting  the 
rotational  movement  to  one  full  turn,  thus  allowing  adjustment  of  water  temperature  from 
mini to maxi through one full turn. 
If  the  water  temperature  settings  are  not  as  required  remove  the  plastic  push  on  cover  and 
rotate  the  aluminium  knob  anticlockwise  until  the  weight  comes  off,  allow  the  appliance  to 
come up to the required temperature (say 65 deg c) and then rotate the aluminium knob until 
the fire starts to reduce, refit the plastic push on cover with the scale set as required. 
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SAFETY STAT 
The safety stat can also be adjusted if it does not trip off at the desired temperature of 90 deg 
C. 
To adjust the  set  point on the safety stat the  aluminium top  cover of the oil  valve has to be 
removed. It is held in place by the three slotted screws and the base casting of the thermostat 
stand. 
Undo the three slotted screws and slacken the other two, lift the cover up and work it out from 
under the aluminium thermostat casting. 
When the cover is removed it will reveal the operating bellows of the safety stat, on the left 
hand  end  of  the  bellows  is  a  straight  knurled  nut  which  if  screwed  in  will  decrease  the 
temperature set point and if screwed out will increase the temperature set point. 
(The Oil Controls International oil control valve has a second safety float chamber designed 
as a safety back up to the first one. 
It is possible during installation to accidentally flood the second chamber, if this occurs it will 
not  be  possible  to  trip  the  safety  cut  off  knob  as  the  flooded  safety  float  disarms  the  trip 
mechanism.  To  re  establish  the  action  of  the  safety  cut  off  knob  the  second  float  has  to  be 
depressed a few times to remove some of the excess oil. This can be done using a small screw 
driver, access to the float is obtained by removing the lOmm dia plastic cap pressed into the 
top of the O.C.V.) 
 
SYSTEM CONTROLS 
The  circulating  pump  may  be  controlled  by  means  of  time  switches,  or  room  thermostats. 
Radiators  may  be  either  manually  or  thermostatically  controlled  except  for  the  heat  leak 
radiators. 
These controls will all work in conjunction with the thermostat on the appliance and the low 
limit pipe thermostat. 
We recommend fitting a pipe thermostat onto the gravity return to act as low limit thermostat. 
This  should  be  wired  into  the  mains  supply  to  the  pump  so  that  if  the  gravity  return 
temperature drops below 45 deg C, the pump will cut out. 
This will help to prevent condensation forming on the boiler faces and will thereby increase 
the life of the boiler. It will also ensure that priority is given to the domestic hot water. These 
thermostats are available from ourselves if you are unable to obtain them locally. 
THE APPLIANCE 
The appliance has the oil valve situated behind the front door.
