stabilize. The catalyser should glow red before adjusting
the control knob to a higher setting,

• Allow 10 to 15 minutes after lighting to adjust the control
knob to a higher setting, usually between a "2" and "4"
setting.
When adjusting the heat output, move the control knob
only 1 number in either direction, allowing 5 minutes
between moves for the flame to re-adjust to new setting.

front door, or on top directly over the burner - keep
children away - Do not use for drying wet clothing.
CAUTION

there is too much oil in the pot burner and/or a lack
adequate draught.
- turn off oil supply and set the control knob in closed
position -0-, until fire has decreased to proper burn rate.

or replace all the oil filters in the oil supply line. To clean
the filter of the regulator :
- set the regulation knob in position "0",
- turn off the tankvalve or the valve of the oil supply line, -
raise the safety lever of the float regulator,
- place a small container (or a small rag) under the
regulator filter opening in order to collect the oil
contained in the regulator,
- remove the filter cover plate located under the

- replace the filter in the regulator, install the cover plate
and secure with the screw.
• Clean all the enamelled panels of the stove with a dry or
slighly damp soft cloth.
• Use a soft clean cloth to wipe the front glass when the
unit is running at a low burning rate. When the main door
is opened for cleaning, the flame will be disturb, and
turn to a yellow flame. Clean quickly, but gently. Close
the door, the flame will return to a normal burning
position.
Note : The appearance of cracks when burning the
enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear
when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be
considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the
enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service
ability.
