SERVICING
NOTE:
ALL WORK SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT
WHEN THE STOVE IS COOL AND THE OIL
SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF.
USER SERVICING
Every two or three months (depending on use):
1. Remove the flame spreader and the catalyser.
Clean out all carbon deposits in the burner and
on the catalyser (See Fig. 22).
2. Clean the internals of the burner compartment
using a damp cloth.
3. Clean any marks or stains on the viewing glass.
4. Replace the flame spreader and catalyser.
(Flame spreader should be fitted with concave
side facing down).

glass may only become evident when the flame is
viewed through the glass.
In certain circumstances it may be necessary to
prime the flue see previous sections on “flue
draught” and” priming the flue”.
Turn the oil control valve to setting 2, press and
hold the ignition button for a duration of 90 sec-
onds. Within the 90 seconds a small flame should
appear in the base of the burn pot where the
kerosene enters. After the 90 seconds if there is
no flame present turn the control valve to the off
position, leave the stove for 10 minutes to evac-
uate vapours within the combustion chamber and
attempt the lighting process only once more.
When the flame is established for 10 minutes on
setting no 2 the control lever can be adjusted to
setting no 4 . The flame should be allowed to sta-
bilise at setting no 4 for another 10 minutes prior
to adjusting the control to setting No.6 ( Max).
When the control setting is adjusted a period of
stabilisation is required for the flue draught, ad-
justing the control too fast can lead to a situation
where the fuel proportion in relation to air is much
too high leading to poor combustion and a sooty
flame.
TURNING THE STOVE OFF
When the control knob is turned to 0 from any posi-
tion, the oil feed to the stove is closed and the stove
goes out.
NOTE:
DO NOT RELIGHT THE STOVE WHEN IT
IS HOT.
POWER FAILURE
A break in the electrical supply while the stove is light-
ing will have no effect on the stove. However an elec-
trical supply is necessary for lighting the stove.
