MAINTENANCE
Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you
remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these may
cause stains that are hard to remove. Under normal conditions, only three
components are subject to wear:
1. THE BATTERIES
You may replace the batteries yourself. Do not dispose of old batteries along with
the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable regulations regarding the
disposal of domestic chemical waste.
2. THE WICK
To extend the glass fibre wick life, you must occasionally let the heater burn until
the tank is completely emptied and the heater extinguishes by itself. Do this when
you notice that the flame is weakening. The burn-out will cause some smells, so it
is recommended that you take the heater outside of the living room.
3. THE IGNITION COIL
The ignition coil will last longer if you ignite in the right way. Replace the
batteries on time and make sure you do not push the ignition button too
forcefully. If the filament is broken, you should replace the coil.
THE FUEL FILTER
Check the fuel filter regularly as well.
Remove the removable tank
I
from the heater and take out the fuel filter (Fig.
M). Some drops of fuel may spill from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Turn the fuel
filter upside down and clean it from all dirt deposits by tapping it on a hard sur-
face.
(Never clean it with water!)
Reposition the fuel filter in the heater.
Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for
repairs.
Let the heater cool down first, before you start any maintenance or service work.
