CARE AND MAINTENANCE
As with any good appliance, preventive as well as corrective maintenance is occasionally required. Please read the
following section carefully in order to enjoy the greatest benefits from your heater.
INSPECTlON OF THE WlCK
NOTE: One of the simplest but also the most important components of your heater is the wick.
With proper attention, the wick will last at least one heating season and, depending on the quality of the
fuel used, possibly longer, it helps to perform routine maintenance operations on the wick.
1. lndications that the wick may need attention are:
●
low flame
●
tar deposit on the top edge of the wick
●
difficulty in turning the wick adjuster knob
●
a flickering or dying flame
2. Clean the wick by burning dry as follows:
1) Lift out the removable fuel tank before turning heater on. Raise the wick to its highest position, ignite heater as
usual, and allow the flame to consume the ramaining fuel in the fuel sub tank.
NOTE: Burning the wick dry can at times create odors. For the burning dry procedure, remove your heater from
the living area of your house into a well-ventilated area such as a garage or even a sheltered area
outside. If you burn the wick dry outside, be sure that the heater is not exposed to strong drafts during
the procedure.
2) After the heater has cooled completely, remove the cabinet as described in items 1 through 4 of the next section.
3) Remove any residue from the wick with a small brush such as an old toothbrush. Cinders or soot in the burner
around the wick may be vacuumed away. Be careful when removing such material from the wick with a brush,
to do so gently so as not to tear the top surface of the wick.
4) Remove any tar deposits on the top of wick holder and primary air tube using a scraper.
NOTE: When good wick performance is no longer achieved by the burning dry process, it may be necessary to
replace the burned wick with a new one.
5) Before reassembling the heater, take a few minutes to wipe the parts with a soft cotton cloth or paper towels.
6) Reassemble the heater, following directions in item 15 of the next section.
NOTE: If the flame is still low after cleaning the wick, the wick may contain some water. It is then necessary to
replace the wick and empty all kerosene from the removable fuel tank and the fuel sub tank. Dry the tank
thoroughly and refill with fresh, pure kerosene.
