OIL BURNERS MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
General information
Keep the boiler room clean. Ensure that the boiler room has
permanent fresh air intake. Switch off before dismantling the oil
burner.
At hinged mounting, make sure that an automatic safety switch
is fi tted, so that the burner cannot start when theswing door is
open.
Don´t use the oil fi red boiler to burn paper or rubbish,unless
the boiler is especially fi tted with a hinged door tomake this
possible.
Don´t fi ll tank while burner is working.
Starting precautions
Make sure that the oil tank is not empty
Make sure that the valves on oil and water supply pipes
areopen.
Make sure that the boiler fl ue damper is open.
Make sure that the boiler thermostat is set at the correct
temperature.
Switch on the current. Most relay systems have a delayed action
so that the burner will not start for perhaps 20 seconds.
With heavy oil the delay will be longer as the burner will notstart
until the oil in the preheater reaches the requiredtemperature.
If the burner will not start
Press the reset button on the relay. Check that the thermostats
are correctly adjusted.
Don´t forget the room thermostat, check that any fusesare intact
and main switch is on.
If the burner starts but does not ignite
Make an attempt to start the burner.
Never make close repeated start attempts.
Don´t restart the burner until the boiler is free from oil gases.
If the burner still does not ignite send for the service engineer.
When switching off during summer
Always use the main switch to cut out the burner even when
adjusting the burner or cutting off the heating for ashort time.
For longer periods of shut down, close all valves and the oil
supply stop-cock.
Clean the fi lter and nozzle by washing in petrol or paraffi n.
Make sure the fi lter medium is not damaged or defective.
Protect electrical gear from damp.
Warning
Never stand too near or put your face to the inspection or fi re
door, when the burner is about to start.
Never use a naked fl ame to ignite oil if the electrical ignition fails.
Always wait for about 10 minutes for the unburnt gases to
disperse before restarting the oil burner if it has failed to ignite
previously.
