Never try and relight a hot cooker burner. Wait until it has cooled down.
The water system must be filled before lighting.
Cooker burner must be alight at all times before the boiler burner is operated.
To light cooker burner.
1. Turn On oil supply at storage tank and any other control valves.
2. On the Oil Control Valve (OCV) 'P' depress the trip lever 'D' until it clicks then release. Turn cooker control knob 'C' to the maximum setting.
3. Switch ON the external electrical supply and turn cooker thermostat 'A' to its maximum.
4. Wait approximately 15 minutes for the oil to enter the burner.
5. Open outer burner door 'E' and lift off the inner door 'F'
6. On early models slide the lighting port cover 'G' open and apply a taper to light all three exposed wicks, then carefully slide the cover closed.
7. On later models the lighting port flap 'G' should be swung open and a light applied through the single port, to the wick. Close flap carefully immediately.
8. Replace inner door and close the outer door.
9. Turn the cooker thermostat 'A' down to its lowest setting for about 30 minutes, to allow the burner to warm up. The thermostat can then be set to the desired temperature and will automatically control the burner firing rate to maintain that temperature. The control knob 'C' should be left at maximum.
10. In the event of a power failure the burner will return to a low fire rate. This can be overcome manually by operating the lever 'B' on the top of the OCV, from right to left and latching it in that position. The temperature can then be controlled manually by using the control knob 'C' Don't forget to reset lever 'B' to normal when the electricity is again available.
To operate the boiler burner.
1. Cooker burner must already be lit as described above.
2. On the Oil Control Valve 'P', the knob 'J' (where fitted) must be turned to maximum.
3. Switch ON, the electrical supply to the Rayburn and turn ON any external controls such as a time clock or room thermostat.
4. The boiler burner will ignite automatically when the boiler thermostat knob 'H' is turned On to an appropriate setting. Note that after turning it on, it will take several minutes before flames are visible through the viewing window 'M'
5. If the boiler burner fails to ignite automatically, after about 5 minutes the warning light at 'L' will illuminate. Wait 3 minutes then turn the thermostat 'H' Off then immediately ON again to restart the ignition sequence for a further attempt. If it continues to fail after 3 attempts, leave OFF and call an engineer for assistance.
WARNING. If either of the burner fails to ignite or operate properly; or there is a strong smell of oil or fumes; or you are unsure if the Rayburn has been serviced recently, --- DO NOT USE --- Have the appliance checked by a qualified engineer.
