Drolet ALASKA 2000, Installation And Operating Manual

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 or a BBQ lighter 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.

Note :  Do not leave matches or other materials in the burner in order to keep it 

clean.  It allows a better combustion. 

IF YOU MISS THE STOVE’S LIGHTING, ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE 
BURNER  TO COOL DOWN TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE 
USING BURNING ALCOHOL AGAIN OR ELSE, USE COMMERCIAL 
LIGHTING MATERIAL (SOLID) OR A PIECE OF COTTON DAMPED 
IN OIL. 

IF, FURTHER TO SOME MISOPERATION, THE BURNER IS FILLED 
WITH IMPORTANT QUANTITIES OF OIL, ALL OF THE OIL MUST 
FIRST BE REMOVED BEFORE LIGHTING THE STOVE AGAIN.

CHANGING INTENSITY 

• 

Always wait 10 minutes minimum before increasing the flow (between each position).  This allows 
flames to stabilize and avoid suiting up.  No waiting is needed to decrease the flow.

• 

Cette précaution n’est cependant pas nécessaire pour diminuer le débit de carburant.
