If these substances are left
uncleaned,
the heater
will.
be unable to perform fully as it develops
the
following troubles:
• The wick will not light
readily;
• The heater wi
ll
give off an offensive smell
;
• The heater will suffer from a decline in thermal output
;
• The wick won't move up and down easily
;
• It will take a lot of time from the ignition of the heater to the state of complete
combustion.
In the event of any of these problems, clean the wick in accordance with the following procedure.
Once a week is recommended during seasons of heavy
use.
We recommend that you replace the
wick with a new one each
season.
How to clean the wick:
1) Take the heater outdoors on a windless
day.
2) Remove the cartridge tank from the
heater.
3) Ignite the heater letting it burn at full capacity.
4) Keep the heater burning until the fuel runs out and the flame dies out
naturally.
5) If the wick is hardened due to the presence of degenerated or contaminated fuel, cleaning it once
is not enough to eliminate its carbon content
entirely.
So clean the wick two or three
times.
6) After you have cleaned the wick, put the cartridge tank back in the heater. Wait 30 minutes or
longer to allow the wick to absorb
fuel
fully, and then ignite the
heater.
7) If cleaning does not work an improvement in the wick
and remains hard at its upper
part,
then
replace it with a new one as described in "How to Replace
Parts"
on page
10.
