Corner Stove, Corner Pod and Back Cabin Cooker.
Note that Back cabin Cookers are pre commissioned
at the factory
and do not need adjusting.
A relevant oil control valve catalogue is supplied with
each appliance and details of high and low fire
adjusting screws are illustrated.
On the Toby valve the low fire screw is clearly visible
as per TOBY MANUAL FIG 2
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 for a
minute. 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
again let it stabilize.
After stabilization there should be a dull red glow in
the catalyser with wispy blue flames flickering just
over the top of it, approximately level with the top of
the pot.
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 the burner can support the
required blue flame combustion.
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
the high fire screw needs adjusting to reduce the flow
of oil. (Screw the adjuster screw in to reduce the high
fire oil flow.)
Before adjusting the high fire screw, turn the flame
down and let it stabilize in blue flame combustion,
adjust the high fire screw by half a turn in and try
turning the fuel flow up, if it is still fuel rich repeat
the process until the hire fire flame is running blue
with flicks of yellow in the tips.
On the Socomef pot, the high fire flame will be set
approx. 40mm above the top of the pot.
NOTE THAT THIS PROCEDURE WILL NOT BE
POSSIBLE IF THE CHIMNEY RULES HAVE NOT
BEEN ADHERED TO.
THE HIGH FIRE SETTING WILL HAVE TO BE
ADJUSTED IN LINE WITH THE AVAILABLE
GENNERATED CHIMNEY VACUUM IE
THE FLUE PIPE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 1.8
METERS HIGH FOR LOW FIRE AND 2.1 METERS
FOR HIGH FIRE.
INSTALLING ENGINEERS SHOULD NOT LEAVE
THE APPLIANCE UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE
CUSTOMER UNLESS THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN
CORRECTLY COMMISSIONED.

This video shows a stove running from low to high fire
and back to low fire. Note that this video is filmed on
a normal house chimney and so it may not be possible
to get exactly the same conditions on a typical boat
flue as the fuel air ratio will not be exactly the same,
hence the need for fine tuning the oil flow to the
chimney air flow capability.

Unless one is built into the appliance, always fit
appliances on a suitable drip tray.
The possibility of oil drops leaking from the stove
must be considered; a suitable oil drip tray must be
fitted and designed in such a way, as it will contain any
oil leaks or drips.
Normally the tray will cover the footprint of the
stove, the oil valve and isolation device.
It will be oil tight and have a vertical up stand of at
least 30mm. This should give a minimum containment
volume of 2 litres.
It will be securely fastened down to the vessel and
the appliance must be securely fastened down to the
oil drip tray.
Make sure that drip trays are tested to ensure that
they do not leak when filled with oil.
The hearth must be-:
FLAT - SECURE - FIREPROOF AND LEVEL IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS.
Use materials, which are easy to keep clean and
fireproof such as tiles, asbestolux or vermiculite
boarding with a suitable weight resistant liner.
The vertical walls of the fireplace must also be made
from fireproof materials.
