Ignition - PASECO WKH-2310 Owner's Manual

IGNITION

The procedure is as follows:
–Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until the wick has been raised to its maximum height.
–Lift the burner assembly by using the burner knob.
–Touch a lighted match to the exposed top edge of the wick.
–Once you see that the wick has been lit, lower the burn chamber back down over the wick.
–Rotate the burner knob from side to side a few times to make sure that the burner is positioned
properly on the wick adjuster.
–Then begin following the steps outined in "Adjusting the wick"
CAUTION : Make sure that you do not leave the match, or any portion of it (match head, etc.) in the burner
area. Debris left from the match can cause an uneven alignment of the burner and may result in
smoke, incomplete combustion, odor, or fire.
ADJUSTING THE WICK
After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation.
During the first 5 minutes after ignition, the burner chamber warms up and flames will become visible at the top
of burner. These flames will gradually build up. After 5-7 minutes of operation, you should use the wick
adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height. The proper flame height is a 13mm flame above the center
flame spreader disk, with even distribution of flame around the flame spreader disk visible through the glass
cylinder of the heater. See pictures below for reference.
As you continue to operate the heater, the temperature of the heater and the temperature of the room will
continue to change. As the heater warms up, the kerosene in the tank will vaporize faster, and this could
require adjusting the wick adjuster down in order to maintain the desired 13mm flame height. Therefore, it is
necessary to continue to monitor the flame height, and to make adjustments using the wick adjuster knob to
keep the proper flame height. It is recommended that the heater be checked every 30 minutes in order to keep
the proper adjustment because periodic adjustment is required.
