the mains plug or switch off the

connection.
Unscrew the burner nozzle. Change
the nozzle for a new one. Do not
attempt to clean the nozzle! Keep
changing the nozzle, opened,
cleaned nozzles never burn
flawlessly.

wipe off using clean cloth. This
cleaning should be frequently
repeated in very dusty rooms.

filter, pump filter, nozzle filter.
Seal off the oil suctioning pipe,
tighten all screws. Let the oil in the
reverse flow pipe flow into a pot of
