CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COMBUSTION 
CHAMBER AND OIL BURNER BEFORE FIRING. IT 
IS POSSIBLE FOR THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER 
TO SHIFT IF SUBJECTED TO ROUGH HANDLING 
DURING TRANSIT
 
The cerafelt combustion chamber is quite soft initially. 
After firing, it becomes very brittle. Be sure to do all 
alignment and positioning adjustments before the first 
firing. 
 
The combustion chamber should be inspected for 
damage or carbon build up whenever the oil burner is 
removed for repairs or routine maintenance. 
 
 
BEFORE OPERATING THE FURNACE CHECK 
BURNER ALIGNMENT WITH COMBUSTION 
CHAMBER. THE END CONE OF THE AIR TUBE 
MUST BE CENTRED TO THE ACCOMODATING 
RING PROVIDED IN THE DESIGN OF THE 
COMBUSTION CHAMBER. ADJUST ALIGNMENT 
AND AMULET POSITION (RIELLO BURNER) AS 
NECESSARY BEFORE FIRST FIRING. 
16.  BURNER ELECTRODES 
Correct positioning of the electrode tips with respect to 
each other, to the fuel oil nozzle, and to the rest of the 
burners is essential for smooth light ups and proper 
operation. 
Beckett Oil Burner: 
The electrode tips should be adjusted to a gap of 5/32”, 
1/16” ahead of the nozzle, 5/16” above the centerline of 
the nozzle. The “Z” dimension (front edge of the burner 
head to the front face of the nozzle is 1-1/8 inches. 
Riello Oil Burner: 
The electrode tips should be adjusted to a gap of 5/32”, 
3/32” ahead of the nozzle, 13/64” above the centerline of 
the nozzle. 
The electrode porcelains should be free of cracks, the 
electrode tips should be tapered and free of burrs, and 
the contact rods must be clean and be in firm contact 
with the ignition transformer contact springs. The 
electrodes must not come into contact with the burner 
head. 
 
17.  OIL BURNER SET UP 
The burner air supply is adjusted to maintain the fuel to 
air
  ratio to obtain ideal combustion conditions. A lack of 
air causes "soft" and "sooty" flames, resulting in soot 
build-up throughout the heat exchanger passages. 
Excess combustion air causes a bright roaring fire and 
high stack temperatures resulting in poor fuel efficiency.  
 
PREPARATIONS: 
Drill a ¼” test port in the venting, ideally at least 2 flue 
pipe diameters away from the furnace breeching, if 
venting horizontally from the furnace, or from the flue 
pipe elbow if venting vertically before reaching the 
furnace. (see Figures 5 and 6). 
The test port will allow flue gas samples to be taken and 
stack temperatures to be measured. 
 
Before starting the burner, check the burner alignment 
with the combustion chamber (fire pot), check that the 
correct nozzle is tightened into place, and that the burner 
electrodes are properly positioned. The Beckett burner 
bulk air band is should be closed, and the air shutter 
initial setting should be approximately 7.00. 
 
Refer to Table A-2, page 18, for Riello oil burner air 
damper and turbulator settings.

horizontal. 
 
 
 
Note A: Locate hole at least 6 inches on the furnace side 
of the draft control. 
 
Note B: Ideally, hole should be at least 12 inches from 
breeching or elbow.
