Flooding Burner
A vaporizing oil burner of this type can be flooded if care is not taken to prevent excess oil
entering the burner when lighting. By following the lighting instructions flooding will be
avoided. A flooded burner that is still burning should be turned off and the heater monitored
until the oil has burned off. Use the combustion assist fan to add air to fully combust the
excess fuel.
Causes of burner flooding:
Fuel entering the burner faster than it is burning.
Increasing the fuel supply too quickly without use of the combustion assist fan.
Poor draft and/or ventilation.
If the flame has extinguished, the oil metering will continue to deliver fuel to the burner
causing it to accumulate fuel to a level of 5/8”. Never relight this amount of fuel.
The suggested method is to sacrifice a toilet paper roll as a perfectly fitted sponge and
then dispose the roll. For this reason always monitor the heater closely when lighting.
Hot Water Coil Option
The heater can be equipped with a one or two turn hot water heating coil. This optional item
should be installed at time of manufacture but can be retrofitted later.
