operation. After filling, clean up any spilt kerosene and 

close the tank securely.

stored separately from the wick holder and the tank.

Filling with Kerosene:

Open the filler neck’s lid and use the supplied funnel 

to fill the tank. Pay attention to the tank status display. 

Once the display shows “F”, the tank is full. Close the lid 

and clean up any spilt kerosene.

Ignition:

1. Wait 30 min. after filling, so that the wick can absorb 

a sufficient amount of kerosene. 
2. Turn the wick adjuster in a clockwise direction to its 

max. height. Then, pull up the 3 set screws on the ou-

ter mesh screen to be able to light 2-3 sections with a 

match.
3. Push the mesh screen back down and secure the set 

screws

carrying handle, then check the flame once more time.

• If the burner head’s mesh is bright red, the flame is set 

 correctly.

• If the flame is flaring out of the burner head’s mesh, 

  the wick is set too high.

• If the burner head’s mesh isn’t bright red, the wick is  

  set too low or the fuel tank is empty.

and remove the cover.

take the wick out of its

Maintenance and Care:

The wick is made out of fiberglass and has a very long 

service life. If the wick is too dirty, it cannot be adjusted 

properly. For this reason, it should be cleaned once per 

month (with a screwdriver, etc.).

Loosen the wick 

adjuster by turning it 

in a counter-clockwise 

direction, then pull it 

out towards yourself.
