5) Push wick carrier over new wick as shown here: Make sure that the stud on
the wick carrier is placed between the slits of the new wick and protrudes freely.
6) Replace flame spreader on central tube and place new wick and wick carrier
over the central tube in such a way, that the stud of wick carrier will be above
the groove in the central tube.
This pressed-in groove is directly visible from the direction of the filler cap. First
push wick carrier stud over the edge of the central tube and pull down wick at
the opposite split end until the wick carrier stud slides into the groove in the
central tube.
Take care, that the yellow tape inside the wick is not damaged. Replacing the
flame spreader before the new wick is inserted, will minimize this risk.
7) Check by pushing wick up and down that the wick carrier stud engages the
groove in the central tube. This is imperative because otherwise the wick will
turn. In this position the wick should be pushed freely upwards by the pressure
of the spiral spring round the central tube. If because of the newness of the wick
there is too much friction. press the wick carrier all-round against the central
tube until wick and wick carrier shoot upwards by the spring pressure.
8) Replace the chimney assembly with wick gallery over the wick and push
downwards until the fastening ring slides on the screwed studs and screw on
nuts firmly.
9) After turning up the wick, the heater is ready for use again but the tank should
be filled an hour before relighting.
This operation is simple and when attention is paid to the above instructions,
need only take a few minutes.
