3. CHECK THE WICK LIFE EXTENDER
On your first use of new heater or after replacing the wick, check if the WICK
LIFE EXTENDER if it on position 1. If not, relocate the WICK LIFE EXTENDER to
position 1 by following the instructions on page 9, ADJUSTMENT OF WICK
HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER.
4. ENGAGE THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER
The automatic extinguisher is engaged automatically by turning the wick
adjuster knob clockwise. Check the operation of the automatic extinguisher
before lighting your heater. After turning the wick adjuster knob clockwise until
it stops, turn the manual shutoff counterclockwise to be sure the wick moves
smoothly down.
LIGHTING
NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in a garage
or an outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the
protective oil present on the burner parts. lf this 15 minutes ”burn-in” is done inside, some
objectionable odor will be observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite
your heater.
NOTE: lf you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it
after it has been out of fuel for a long time, you will need to wait about
thirty (30) minutes for the wick to become fully saturated before Iighting.
Failure to allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may
cause permanent damage to the wick when it is lighted.
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. This raises the wick to its
maximum height. As the wick rises within the heater, the wick adjuster knob
turns with some resistance and makes a sound like the winding of a clock.
Once the wick has reached its proper height, the automatic extinguisher is fully
engaged. The wick adjuster knob will now move freely left or right to adjust
the flame.
2. AUTOMATIC LIGHTNG
Gently push down the igniter lever. The igniter coil should glow and touch the
wick. When flame appears, release the igniter lever.
NOTE: If you have diffculty igniter wick, let up on the igniter lever very slightly
to remove the igniter coil from direct contact with the wick.
3. LIGHTING WITH A MATCH
Tilt the heat chamber and touch the match to the top of the wick. Do not allow
burned parts of the match to fall or remain on the wick.
4. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire heat chamber
handle left and right.
NOTE: An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame, smoke, and
potential damage to the heater itself. Proper seating of the heat chamber
is essential for good performance. Do not leave the heater until you have
determined that the flame is burning normally, as described in the
following section.
