People are passionate about their oil-fired Agas and Rayburns. They exude quality and make the house feel wonderfully cosy and warm but it is important to ensure that they are kept in tip-top condition to keep them efficiently.
A number of oil fired cooker users are reporting that burners are cutting out. The Daily Telegraph has attributed this to the European Union insistence on lower Sulphur levels in domestic kerosene. This type of oil produces more soot that can clog the burners inside the oven. When your Aga cuts every six to eight weeks, it is a great inconvenience and call out fees for engineers can be costly.
One thing you can do to make your oil fired cooker run at its best is to use Exocet fuel. This has been specifically developed for oil-fired cookers such as Agas and Rayburns with an oil addittive that makes it burn more cleanly producing less soot than normal oil. Exocet Plus also inhibits the build up of sludge in the oil tank.
