How do you start a Efel oil burning stove?
..you make sure you have an UPDRAFT..by opening the door an inch and opening a window in the room a crack...then I trigger a butane lighter and stick the flame inside to make sure the flame is being drawn toward the chimney. If you do not establish an updraft...you can fill the room with smelly oil smoke within seconds of lighting the stove. You'll only do this ONCE..!
..With a good updraft..I turn the knob to between 1 and 2 and push the electric lighter button , WITH THE DOOR OPENED ABOUT A HALF INCH, and within a few seconds the oil ignites.
..I let it go this way for about three minutes....you are heating up the "catalizer" and the flame will now be mostly a yellow colour. (Close the window)
..after a few minutes you can close and lock the door and the yellow flame will turn blue and circle the catalizer which is gradually turning red.
Mine is ten years old and I'm very satisfied with it.
