INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Here are the steps to follow while installing your new oil burning fireplace. Pay special attention to the instructions proposed to you such as clearances. In following the instructions of this manual, you will be assured of a simple and secure installation. INSTALLATION IN Canada HAS TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CAN/CSA B-139 : STANDARDS INSTALLATION CODE FOR OIL-BURNING EQUIPMENT. IN THE U.S.
Clearances Refer to technical data of your fireplace on page 2, in order to know its technical and physical characteristics. Respect required clearances to combustible materials while installing your fireplace. These clearances have been verified and approved according to CAN/CSA B 140.3 and UL 896 standards.
Fireplace Assembly For the assembly of your fireplace, you have received with this manual, all the hardware that you need. See bellow, the list of what should be included.
Fireplace assembly (cont’d) Sides and back spacers Use the drilled holes on each side and at the back of the fireplace structure to align and screw into place the spacers; The sides spacers provides a 4’’ clearance; (1 each side) The back spacers provides a clearance.
Leveling the fireplace Figure 11 : Levelling the burner • Now that your fireplace is installed into place, you have to level the burner. • Put the level in the middle of the burner parallel to the door. (See figure 11-a). Screw or unscrew the adjustable legs until perfect level has been reached. Use a 7/16’’ (10 mm) key. • Then put the level in the middle of the burner so that it is parallel to the sides (See figure 11-b). Screw or unscrew the adjustable legs until perfect level has been reached.
Chimney installation • ONLY (‘’A’’ TYPE) FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY CAN BE USED for the installation of your GRIZZLY fireplace. Use only 30 O or 45O elbows. NO 90O ELBOWS ARE ALLOWED. • The use of BLACK PIPE CONNECTORS (SINGLE OR DOUBLE WALL PIPES) IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. • Many configurations are possible, the most frequent ones are illustrated in figures 12, 13, and 14. • Respect clearances indicated in table 1.
Chimney installation (cont’d) • DROLET STOVES & FIREPLACES requires the use of an (A TYPE) factory built chimney having a constant 5’’diameter. Using a larger flue tends to make combustion gas expand and cools them off witch have for result of lowering the draught effects. Gas expansion reduces the speed of the draught and have the same effects. • Low gas temperature will tend to condense and freeze or leak in your chimney.
Connecting fireplace 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.
Preliminary test Before inserting the fireplace, it is suggested to verify the items listed below and correct if necessary; • • • • • Leaks on copper connections; inlet and outlet of the valve as well as the inlet of the burner; The chimney is properly in place and well secured with approved parts; The burner has been levelled; The fireplace is permanently attached to hearth; Enough draught is available and has been adjusted according to the following procedures.
Preliminary Test (cont’d) Draught regulator : • An excessive draught is as bad as a draught to low. • The regulator controls the draught when it is excessive (in high winds for example). • If the draught exceeds 0.08 in of water column, you will have to adjust the regulator Figure 19 : Draught Regulator Adjusting the draught : • To adjust the draught you have to screw or unscrew the court weight on the regulator. Regulator open lowers the draught regulator closed increases the draught.
Inserting the Fireplace Now that the unit is in place, the burner is levelled and all previous verifications are made. It is time to build the surrounding frame and walls. Always respect minimum clearances between, the fireplace as well as the factory built chimney, and combustible materials. Legend, figure 21 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Facing 1. Assemble the (3) parts of the facing using the (4) nuts and bolts received in the hardware package. 2. Place the assembled facing on the front part of the fireplace : Align bottom of the facing with the bottom of the fireplace structure; Align the flow regulating rod with the hole on the right side of the facing; Insert the inner edges of the facing in the clips located on the outside of the combustion chamber.
Facing (cont’d) 3. Push the facing towards the structure of the fireplace. (Push in aligned with clips). Install the control knob on the flow regulating rod. NOTE : The facing must lean evenly on the fireplace structure and finished front wall. 4. Hook up the top and bottom louvers: The top louver sits on (4) hooks. The bottom louver slides in (2) pins. The bottom louver is used as an access panel. Tip it towards you to have access to the fan rheostat, cleaning tee and the carburetor (valve). 5.
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. Drolet Stoves & Fireplaces 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 (cont’d) • Place the flow regulating handle on the "1" position, as soon as the oil enters the burner return to "0" position. • Open the door and pore into the burner 2 to 3 once (75 ml) of lighting gel or wood alcohol. NOTE : USE OF LIGHTING GEL IS BETTER OF A SAFE IGNITION. • With a long wood match, ignite carefully and close the door. • After a couple of minutes (before alcohol goes out) the burner and the chimney are hot, place the flow regulator handle on "1" position.
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 operation 2 or 3 times; Pull it back into place to finish the operation. Figure 26 : Cleaning tee WHEN YOUR STOVE IS RUNNING, ALWAYS KEEP THE CLEANING TEE LEVER PULLED BACK INTO PLACE. ONCE A MONTH OR TWO : • Clean with a metallic brush : • The burner’s shell; • The burner’s rings; • The burner’s catalyst (in blue flame model).
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTION ON POSITION 6 (MAXIMUM) THE FLAME IS LONG AND SMOKY, THERE IS SUIT BUILD UPON THE GLASS. Position 6 was reached too quickly. 1. Set flow regulating handle to position 1; 2. wait for combustion to stabilize; 3. Progressively increase flow to desired position. NOTE : SEE LIGHTING PROCEDURES. Maximum flow is too high. 1. Set flow to a lower position; 2. Call a qualified technician to adjust the valve. Cleaning tee and/or burner are dirty. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONT’D) PROBLEMS THE FLAME PRODUCES SMOKE, IN ANY POSITION. FLAME GOES OUT BY ITSELF. THE STOVE MAKES NOISE, GOES OUT AND LIGHT UP AGAIN. CAUSES Door gasket properly. is not SOLUTION selling 1. Tighten door by turning counter clockwise the door handle; 2. Check if gasket needs to be changed. The burner orifices are plugged up. 1. Clean the burner with a metallic brush. Draught is too low. 1. Make it checked technician. Oil level in the tank is too low. 1.
