NOTE:
An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame,
smoke, and potential damage to the heater itself. Do not
leave the heater until you have determined that the flame is
burning normally, will be described in the following section.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME
1. After lighting wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature. This will take several
minutes, then the flame will be visible.
2. CHECK THE FLAME HEIGHT
After five minutes, the entire heat chamber should be glowing red.
If necessary, raise or lower the wick by turning the wick adjuster knob to produce the proper
flame condition.
NOTE:
Do not operate your heater wick set TOO LOW or TOO HIGH. Doing so will decrease
combustion efficiency and increase production of unwanted emissions. When operating
heater, be sure wick is high enough to keep the primary heat chamber heated to a
uniform red glow from its top to bottom.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF MAXIMUM WICK HEIGHT
After using the heater over a long period of time, you may observe that the flame length in heat
chamber does not reach its normal level in several minutes after lighting. When this condition is
observed, it means that the wick height needs adjusting the unique wick life extender.
To adjust the wick height using the wick life extender mechanism,
first release the automatic extinguisher by pushing the manual
shutoff button.
