AUTOMATIC IGNITION SYSTEM
For safety and convenience, this heater features an automatic ignition system.
2 "C" cell batteries, included with the heater, provide the power for the igniter which
lights the wick once it has been raised to its maximum height.
To use the automatic ignition system:
Make sure the batteries have been installed.
Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until the wick has been raised to its maximum height. (Fig. 9)
Push the ignition lever (Fig. 10) to bring the glowing igniter into contact with the wick.
This will cause ignition to occur.
As soon as you see that the wick has been lit, release the ignition lever. This will automatically lower
the burn chamber back down over the wick.
Rotate the burner knob from side to side a few times to make sure that the burner is positioned
properly on the wick adjuster. (Fig. 11)
Then begin following the steps outlined in "Adjusting the wick" (page. 8)
IGNITION VIA MATCH
If you encounter a problem with the ignition mechanism, or if you have
dead batteries, it is possible to light the heater with a match. (Fig.12)
The procedure is as follows:
Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until the
wick has been raised to its maximum height.
Lift the burn chamber by using the burner knob.
Touch a lighted match to the exposed top edge of the wick.
Once you see that the wick has been lit, lower the burn chamber back down over the wick.
Rotate the burner knob from side to side a few times to make sure that the burner is positioned
properly on the wick adjuster.
Then begin following the steps outined in "Adjusting the wick" (page. 7)
CAUTION : Make sure that you do not leave the match, or any portion of it (match head, etc.) in the burner
area. Debris left from the match can cause an uneven alignment of the burner and may result in
smoke, incomplete combustion, odor, or fire.
CHECKING THE IGNITION SYSTEM
If the automatic ignition system fails to operate properly,
perform the following checks:
BATTERIES -2 "C" cell batteries are located at the rear of the heater. Replace with new batteries. (Fig. 14)
IGNITER PLUG - If the automatic ignition system still doesn't work after replacing the batteries,
check the igniter plug. If the glow coil filament is broken, bent, or doesn't glow when engaged via the
ignition lever, it must be replaced.
CAUTION: Be sure igniter plug is Type "B", 2.5V DC, 1A only.
