Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner Pre-installation checklist ❏ Combustion air supply ❏ Vent system • The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air for reliable operation. Assure that the building and/or combustion air openings comply with National Fire Protection Standard for Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31.
Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner ❏ Verify firing rate Figure 2 – Air tube mounting dimensions • Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions (if available) for firing rate and nozzle selection. Otherwise, the maximum recommended firing rate for the burner depends on the length of the firing chamber and the distance from the burner center to the chamber floor. Verify that the chamber dimensions are at least as large as the minimum values given in Figure 1.
Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner Mount the burner Figure 4 – Nozzle and nozzle line assembly S ❏ Mount flange(s) on air tube • This section does not apply to burners with welded flanges. • Do not install air tube on burner. • For non-pressure firing flange, refer to Figure 3: Install gasket (item a ) and flange (item d ).

Do not attach fuel lines to the appliance or to floor joists if possible. This reduces vibration and noise transmission problems. • Install an oil filter sized to handle the fuel unit gearset flow capacity (Table 3) for two-pipe systems.
Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner Wire the burner Do not by-pass any safety control. By-passing a safety control could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
