ADJUSTING THE FLAME
1. After lighting, wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature. This will take ten-fifteen minutes, after
which the flame will be visible through the glass cylinder.
2. CHECK THE FLAME LENGTH
Look at the flame and check its length. Flame length is not necessarily even or uniform around the circumference
of the center disk. Some areas may be lower than others, but on maximum wick height, flame length should
average between 1 cm (3/8 in.) to 2.5 cm (1 in.).
lf 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.)
