ADJUSTING THE WICK

After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation. After 5-7
minutes of operation, you should use the wick adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height (see Fig 8). IF THE
FLAME IS TOO YELLOW, TURN THE WICK ADJUSTER KNOB DOWN SLIGHTLY UNTIL YOU GET THE YELLOW
FLAME INDICATED IN FIG.8. IF THERE IS NO FLAME, OR A VERY LOW FLAME, TURN THE WICK
ADJUSTER KNOB UP SLIGHTLY UNTIL YOU GET THE YELLOW FLAME INDICATED IN FIG.8.
VERY FINE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FLAME CAN BE MADE BY GRABBING THE BURNER KNOB AND
MOVING THE BURNER FROM SIDE TO SIDE UNTIL THE YELLOW FLAME IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED.
CAUTION : Do not grab the burner knob once the heater has reached normal operating
temperature and the flame has stabilized. The burner knob is very hot during operation.
As you continue to operate the heater, the temperature of the heater and the temperature of the room will continue
to change. As the heater warms up, the kerosene in the tank will vaporize faster, and this could require adjusting
the wick down in order to maintain the proper flame. THE FLAME MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED DURING THE
TIME THE HEATER IS BEING OPERATED. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to monitor the flame , and to
make adjustments using the wick adjuster knob to keep the proper flame height. It is recommended that the heater
be checked every 30 minutes in order to keep the proper adjustment because periodic adjustment is required.
FAILURE TO KEEP THE WICK ADJUSTED PROPERLY WILL RESULT IN SMOKE, ODOR, IMPROPER
COMBUSTION, CARBON BUILD-UP, AND A SHORTER WICK LIFE.
NOTE : Occasionally during normal operation you will hear the sound of fuel draining from the cartridge tank to fill
the fuel reservoir area. This is normal for a cartridge tank kerosene heater.
WARNING
NEVER turn the wick adjuster knob lower than the "LOW" setting of the wick adjustment. If you
operate the heater below the position where the wick stop engages (the "LOW" setting), smoke, odor, excess
emissions, CO (carbon monoxide), and flare-ups can result.

EXTINGUISHING THE HEATER

To extinguish the heater, push the extinguish button. This should lower the wick to its lowest level. If the
wick is not completely lowered, continue to push the extinguish button and turn the wick adjuster knob in a
counterclockwise direction (towards "OFF") as far as it will go. After 2 or 3 minutes, lift up the burner
assembly using the burner knob and confirm that the heater has extinguished.(see Fig.9.)
