Inserting new wick :
The effective burning length of the wick is approx. 2 3/4"(7cm) which ensures, if
treated correctly, a working life of two years under normal conditions. When a
replacement ultimately becomes necessary, it is recommended to allow the
container to burn dry. This will avoid spilling of paraffin and odour. It will be
found convenient to place the heater on a table when fitting a new wick.
Now adopt the following procedure.
1) Turn chimney assembly by means of carrying handle or regulating collar
counter-clockwise until the wick and wick carrier are free from the gallery. 5 of 6
complete twists will suffice.
2) Unscrew the two nuts from fastening ring.
3) Lift chimney assembly from container, leaving wick exposed. If by mistake the
wick and wick carrier have not been turned down far enough, these will remain
screwed on to the gallery when the chimney assembly is lifted. Simply screw off
wick and wick carrier by turning anti-clockwise.
4) Remove flame spreader and pull off worn out wick with wick carrier from
central tube.
