INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS LOCATING THE STOVE • Install the stove as close to the chimney as possible. • Many configurations are possible, the most frequent are illustrated in figures 1, 2 and 3. • Respect clearances indicated on page 1. They have been tested according to approvals. • Always respect clearances of stove pipes manufacturers. Larger clearances always prevail.

CHIMNEY INFORMATIONS • Before the hook up of the stove, check if the chimney is in good condition and that the quality of the flue pipe will allow a sufficient draught. For a good combustion, refer to the technical data of the stove to know the minimum draught required. • Factory built ‘’A’’ type chimney or ‘’L’’ type chimney are approved for this unit. The chimney has to be well insulated. A chimney too cold can affect the gas temperature and lower draught effects. Low gas t

CONNECTING THE STOVE TO THE CHIMNEY • The gases are vented from the back of the unit. The female part of the black pipe connector has to be installed toward the flue connector of the stove. Secure all connections with the (3) self taping o screws, with 120 distance between each of them. • The connection between stove pipes and chimney has to be perfectly sealed. • A maximum horizontal length of 8' is allowed. Make sure to have a 1/4" slope per foot minimum. o • Do not use more

LEVELING THE UNIT • Now that the stove is in place and properly hooked up to the chimney, you have to adjust the level on the burner. • Put the level in the middle of the burner parallel to the door. (Figure 9A). Screw or unscrew the adjustable legs to level the burner with a 7/16" key (10 mm). • Put the level in the middle of the burner parallel to the sides. (Figure 9B). Screw or unscrew the adjustable legs to level the burner with a 7/16" key. Figure 9A: LEVELL

CONNECTING STOVE TO OIL TANK • Make sure that the tank outlet is 12" (305 mm) higher than the inlet of the carburetor. (Gravity fed) • Use only copper piping to connect tank to stove. • Make sure that there is a small slope on the connection from the tank toward the stove. • A 3" (75 mm) down slope is needed on the tank itself, from the outlet towards the other end of the tank. • When the tank is installed outdoors, it is preferable to use oil #1, to avoid viscosity problems. NO

ADJUSTING THE DRAUGHT • Your stove operated with natural draught, created by the ascension of combustion gases in the chimney. This movement creates a siphon effect in the stove and forces ambient air to go in the burner by the holes in its surround. These orifices let air in for combustion. • For the unit to function properly, it is essential to check the quality of the draught using a draught gauge. The draught is usually measured in inches of water column. • Check the minimum

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS COMBUSTIBLE • Your stove has been designed to work with oil #1 or #2. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE. The manufacturer declines all responsibility regarding damage cause by using other combustibles. • Make sure to use oil without impurities which may plug filters and valve’s orifice. Impurities only give an improper combustion. LIGHTING BEFORE LIGHTING • make sure that : The tank is full; The isolating valve

TURNING THE STOVE OFF • Set the flow regulating handle to position ‘’0’’. • If you plan to keep the stove off for a long while, it is recommended to disarm the valve’s lever and close the tap on the pipe between the stove and your oil tank. ALWAYS KEEP THE VALVE SHUT OFF WHEN THE BURNER IS NOT OPERATING MAINTENANCE ONCE A WEEK : • Clean the oil inlet tube of the burner with the cleaning tee : Push in the rod of the cleaning tee while turning it; Move back and forth ope
