5 Let the remaining fuel in the pump flow back into the jerry can and carefully
remove the pump. Carefully screw the fuel cap back on the tank. Clean off
any spilled fuel.
6 Check whether the fuel cap is straight and tightened properly. Reinstall the
removable tank in the heater (cap down). Close the lid.
C
IGNITING THE HEATER
A new heater may give off some smells for a short while, when it is used for the
first time. You should therefore provide extra ventilation or ignite the heater out-
side the living room.
When you use the heater for the first time, first put the filled removable tank into
place, and then wait approximately 180 minutes before you ignite the heater. This
allows the glass fibre wick to soak up the fuel. Follow the same procedure when you
have completely burnt up all fuel from the tank, and after the glass fibre wick has
been replaced.
K
Before igniting the heater, always check the fuel indicator F to see whether the
removable tank needs filling up.
Always ignite the heater with the ignition mechanism. Never use matches or a
cigarette lighter.
L
Follow the procedure below:
1 Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob 2 clockwise to its stop (Fig. K).
2
Press the ignition button down 3 (Fig. L), but do not apply too much force.
F
Release the ignition button as soon as a flame is visible in the combustion
chamber D.
After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion
chamber D is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle E
(Fig. F). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not
level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

BURNING OF THE HEATER
After you have ignited the heater, it will take 10 to 15 minutes before you can check
whether the heater is burning well. Too high a flame may cause smoke and soot,
whereas too low a flame causes smells. Fig. Q shows the minimum and maximum
permissible burning heights of the flame. The flame can be slightly adjusted with
the knurled wick adjustment knob B (Fig. M).
Burning that is too low may be caused by:
E
insufficient fuel
N
E
poor fuel quality
E
insufficient ventilation
E
wastage of the wick
