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 effciency 

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 bottom.

3. ADJUSTMENT OF MAXIMUM WICK HEIGHT.

After using the heater over a long period of time, you may observe that flame length in the heat chamber does 
not reach its normal level several minutes after lighting. When this conditin is observed, it means that the wick 
height needs adjusting using 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.

Pull the wick adjuster knob out completely. (It can be removed completely from 
its shaft.)
