Trouble-shooting guide, Every TWO Weeks

EVERY TWO WEEKS:

*The de-coking rod must be operated at least twice a month to eliminate carbon deposits that build up where oil enters the burner bottom:

1.Open access door on side of stove.

2.Twist and pull de-coking rod out until it stops (angle bend on the end of the rod will be outside the stove body). It may be necessary to use a pair of pliers to move de-coking rod in and out as the packing nut is tight around rod to prevent leakage. Be careful as packing nut and rod may be hot. Use a glove.

3.Rotate handle 360 degrees 4 or 5 times and then push handle in until handle is just inside the stove body.

4.Close access door.

*Note: If flame is burning lower than expected, you probably have carbon build-up in the line or burner bottom.
