LIGHTING
NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in a garage or on area
outside protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the protective oil present
on the burner parts. If this 15 minutes “burn-in” is done inside, some objectionable odor will be observed.
This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME your ignite your heater.
NOTE: If you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it after it has been out of fuel
for a long time, you will need to wait about 30 minutes for the wick to become fully saturated.
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops.
It makes a spark discharge sound in the process of lighting procedure, but turn
the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops.
As the wick rises within the heater, the wick adjuster knob turns with some
resistance and makes a sound like the winding of a clock. Once the wick has
reached its proper height, the automatic extinguisher is fully engages.
The wick adjuster knob can now move freely left or right to adjust the flame.
2. LIGHTING WITH A MATCH
You should not have to light the heater with a match, but should it become
necessary, open the grille, lift the heat chamber up by holding the wire handle and
touch the match to the top of the wick.
DO NOT allow burned parts of the match to fall or remain on the wick.
NOTE: To restore the automatic igniter system to proper operation, replace worn out
batteries.
3. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire handle left and
right. If the movement is cough and jerky, it indicates that the heat chamber has
not seated properly.
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, which will be described in the following section.
