OIL FLOW ADJUSTMENTS
Always burn the stove on low for at least 15 minutes before
attempting to adjust the flow.
TURN THE SCREW ONLY A QUARTER TURN AT A
TIME. WAIT 10 TO 15 MINUTES BETWEEN ADJUST-
MENTS TO ALLOW THE FIRE TO STABILISE.
The oil flow setting is done by the manufacturer and nor-
mally should not require any adjustment. If the burner fails to
respond to the control knob settings, other possible causes
should be checked (chimney draft, dirty filter or the oil supply
line) prior to attempting to adjust the carburetor.
ADJUSTMENT AT MINIMUM SPEED:
Turn the control knob
‘
A
’ to the # 1 dial setting and allow the burner to run for a few
moments. The flame must completely cover the bottom of
the burner pot and the catalyser should glow red. If the flame
is too small, the oil stove will quickly soot up. Turn the set
screw

(item 16, Figure 9),
located on the top of
the carburetor, clockwise with a screwdriver to increase the flow
of oil.
If the flame is too high, reduce the oil flow by turning the set screw counter-clockwise. The flames should be
blue with occasional yellow tips. The catalyser should glow red.
ADJUSTMENT AT MAXIMUM SPEED:
Gradually turn the control knob ‘
A
’ to dial setting # 6 and allow the burner
to run for a few moments. The flame should be in a cone form with the top level with the upper part of the door.
If the flame is too low, the oil flow rate should be increased by turning the set screw ‘

on the carburetor counter-clockwise. If the flame is too high, turn the screw clockwise. The
flames should have only occasional contact with the burner ring. The bottom 2” (50 mm) of the flames should be
blue in colour with the rest yellow.
CHIMNEY DRAFT ADJUSTMENT
A volume of air, depending on height and diameter of the flue system, is contained in the chimney. This air starts
to rise as it is heated by the burning stove and begins the draft cycle. The amount of draft depends on the
volume of air within the chimney system and the temperature of that air. Too large a flue could cause cooling of
the flue gases, resulting in a poor draft and stove performance.
The stove is equipped with a draft regulator to ensure a constant and stable air intake despite external varia-
tions in wind strengths and other factors.
Adjustments to the draft with the regulator should be carried out when the chimney is hot (after a minimum 30
minutes of operations).
See Page 4, General Information, for chimney draft requirements.
OVERHEATING
Adjusting the control knob to a high setting prematurely allows too much oil to enter the burning pot. This and/
or the lack of sufficient draft creates a fire intensity which in turn creates vibrations. Similarly, if the oil stove or
the chimney connector start to glow red, the appliance is being overheated. Turn off the oil supply until the fire
has decreased to a normal steady burn.
Adjustments, if any, to your oil stove have been made by your installer. Do not attempt any further adjustments
yourselves but report any failures or shortcomings in the stove’s performance to your authorized dealer.
