13. MAINTENANCE
A correctly installed oil stove requires a minimum of cleaning: 1-2 times per winter.
THE STOVE REQUIRES CLEANING WHEN:
1. The stove will not burn with a pure clean flame, and soot deposits occur in the burner.
2. The stove extinguishes itself without reason, possibly because of down draft in the flue or shortage of fuel oil.
CLEANING OF THE STOVE
Remove the burner rings from the top of the burner pot. This is possible on all models, but on model 62M and 62MS, the top ring should be bent a little oval so that it can pass through the opening.
The burner pot is cleaned with a wire brush. The top row of holes round the ring of the burner pot are clearly visible. Clean them carefully, but the many small holes in side wall of the burner pot should also be free from deposits.
All loose soot and slag should then be removed from the bottom of the burner pot, either with a vacuum cleaner or the special Refleks cleaning shovel. The burner pot should be removed from the stove every 2 years for a more thorough cleaning.
CLEANING THE FLUE PIPE
Remove the cowl from the top of the flue and clean the flue pipe thoroughly,
back to the oil stoves exhaust outlet. Dismantle the flue pipe if there are many bends making the cleaning difficult.
CLEANING THE FUEL OIL SUPPLY
Empty the fuel tank and clean it for removing any water or sediment.
Make sure the breather hole in the filler cap is not blocked. This causes the fuel supply to fail.
Clean the water trap filter. Change the filter gauze if badly fouled. Clean or change the filter in the bottom of the regulator. The filter can be cleaned in either clean diesel oil, paraffin or petrol, or blown clean with an air line.
Remove the lid from the regulator body. Rinse the regulator body thoroughly with diesel oil or paraffin. Remove the outlet valve, and blow clean with an air line.
Clean the copper pipe from the regulator to the burner pot. This pipe can collect water from the fuel, and possibly dirt particles from the burner pot, due to its being the lowest point in the fuel supply line and the relatively small amount of oil that flows through it.
