Igniting the Heater

When igniting the heater for the first time, wait about 10 minutes until the wick is soaked with fuel. If you ignite the wick when it is not soaked, you will burn it and cause heavy smoke. The warranty will not be valid.
- Lift the wick by turning the wick adjusting handle to the right.
- Lift the chimney slightly from the burner.
- Light the wick with a match and reposition the chimney properly on the burner.
Adjusting the Flame
TC84100N
If the wire net on top of the chimney turns red hot, the combustion is correct.
If the flames flare up over the wire net, the wick is too high. Lower the wick.
If the wire net stays dark, the wick or fuel level is too low. Raise the wick or refill with fuel.
Extinguishing the Flame To extinguish the heater, turn the wick adjusting handle to the left. The flame will stop after 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the wick adjusting handle gently. Too excessive a handling can sometimes cause a blow flame. Take care the flame is completely extinct when you fill or replace the heater. Be sure the flame is completely out when the heater is left alone.
5. Care and Maintenance
WARNING Make sure to empty the tank before transporting or shipping the device.
Storing
-
Disassemble and clean the kerosene heater before storing. Empty the tank, turn the tank
upside down and clean with cloth imbibed with a lighting kerosene. -

-
Store the heater in a dry and well-ventilated place.

Taking Care of the Wick
With use, a tar-like substance may be deposited on the top of the wick. The
glass fibre wick does not need to be cut. To remove this substance, burn the
wick idle as follows:
1. Do not fill the tank with lighting kerosene.
2. Light the wick and let it burn until the flame dies. By this time, the
tar-like substance will
have been consumed. Do this every time you feel the wick does not suck up
enough lighting kerosene.
