Using a soft bristle brush (a small clean paint brush),
carefully brush off the catalyser. Loosen any carbon
soot from the bottom of the burner with a putty knife,
and vacuum clean. Ensure that the small air holes in
burner are free of carbon.
At least once a year / End of heating season

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
ligne,
-
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
regulator (ill. 9, # 4) with a screwdriver,
-
remove the tubular filter from the regulator. Clean, if
necessary, with oil using a soft brush, never a

•
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.
