Wick
The first time you use a wick, let it absorb liquid combustible for mobile heater for about one hour. Only use liquid combustible for mobile heater with the aromatics removed, with a flash-point above 61° and free of any impurities, in order to ensure that your wick lasts for a long time. If you find that the wick is abnormally hard, if it is blocked or burning is abnormal, have it replaced by a qualified specialist, for example, the supplier of your heater.

As the wick and replacement of the wick are not covered by the guarantee, follow the instructions for use, in order to obtain optimal performance from your wick. A non original wick that does not have the original adjustments causes damage to the combustion quality with risk of release of carbon monoxide. Your heater would not be anymore in compliance with the European standards Guarantee is not valid without the use of original or PETROWICK wicks

LIGHTING THE HEATER

Before you light the heater, check the following points

The combustion cylinder must be proprely positioned. Make it rotate pushing the lever from left to right and make sure it is correctly fitted. When you use the heater for the first time, odours may persist for a certain time after lighting. This is normal, as oil and protective grease in the heater have to be burnt off.

Slowly push the ignition lever downwards until the START position . (To await the “beep”)and maintain to it 1 to 2 seconds until the flame is visible. The wick will rise and the heater ignites automatically. Check visually through the glas burner cylinder that the heater is alight. After having carried out the ignition procedure, there may be some white smoke coming out of the ignition zone, without the heater being lit. In this case, move up the ignition lever part way through its travel and the heater will start to operate. This operation must be done slowly and gently. Try several times if lighting is not carried out in the 1 or 2 seconds. In the event of insistence, you risk to roast the lighter or the wick (spare parts non garanted ).

CAUTION: NEVER LIGHT YOUR HEATER WITH MATCHES OR A LIGHTER OR OTHER FIRES

Adjusting the height of the flamme

Combustion can be optimized within a range of 10% by adjusting the height of the flame (see hereafter).
Go up a little the button of adjustment to decrease the combustion . SONNENKONIG-TOSAI-241-FIG-14

If despite the regulation, the flame is too high or if the heater unevenly (its colour is not uniform), take the lever on the combustion cylinder and shake it gently once or twice, go up the lever for the height of the wick. If the problem subsists, stop the heater and contact your retailer. If you continue using your heater with bad combustion, soot and/or CO emission will result.

Using simultaneously a fan, or a humidifier may cause the flame to become slightly pink. This is normal. Never touch the automatic ignition device when the heater is in use. By lowering it you will make the flame rise if you push it too strongly, you may roast the wick

TURNING OFF YOUR HEATER

For a shut-off push the “STOP button”. The automatic shut-off device against knocks will automatically be activated, it will lower the wick very quickly and also put out the flame. It is possible that an excess accumulation of carbon and other deposits on the wick will prevent proper operation of the automatic shut-off device. Make always sure to visually check that the automatic shut-off device has operated properly.
