TEST IGNITION
Using the wick adjuster knob, raise the wick to its maximum height.
Push the ignition lever.
The igniter plug should be within 1~2mm of the wick when the ignition
lever is fully engaged. (Fig. 13)
ADJUSTING THE WICK
After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation.
During the first 5 minutes after ignition, the burner chamber warms up and flames will become visible at the top
of burner. These flames will gradually build up. After 5-7 minutes of operation, you should use the wick
adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height. The proper flame height is a 1/2” flame above the center flame
spreader disk, with even distribution of flame around the flame spreader disk visible through the glass cylinder
of the heater. See pictures below for reference.
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 adjuster down in order to maintain the desired 1/2" flame height. Therefore, it is
necessary to continue to monitor the flame height, 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.
CORRECT FLAME
Proper combustion
