, it is time to clean and replace the wick. AFTER 

REPLACING THE WICK, CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE 
AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR HEATER.

NOTE: Never use positions

  or

  until position

  no linger 

gives adequate flame length.

EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME 

1. Turn the wick adjuster knob counterclockwise until it stops. This 

requires about a quarter turn. At this point, the flame is 
completely extinguished and the heater is off.

NOTE:

DO NOT use the automatic extinguisher to routinely turn off 
this heater. Automatic extinguishing should occur only when 
the heater is jarred or tipped. Using the automatic 
extinguisher to turn off the heater will cause odor, smoke and 
soot.

2. Make sure the flame is out completely.

3. Do not try to relight the heater for at least three (3) minutes 

extinguishing it off as this may cause smoke and odor.

MANUAL SHUTOFF 

When quick shutoff is necessary, push the manual shutoff button.

NOTE:

For routine turn-off, DO NOT use the Manual Shutoff or 
activate the Automatic Extinguisher by jarring the heater. 
These methods may cause unwanted odor, soot and smoke. 
Only the wick adjuster knob should be used for normal 
shutoff.
