Switching Off The Heater - Toyotomi KS-53 Operating Manual

D
ADJUSTING THE FLAME
After you have ignited the heater, it will take 30 minutes for the flame to become
visible in the combustion chamber. Only then can you check whether the flame
is correct. Too high a flame may cause smoke and soot, whereas too low a flame
causes smells. The page opposite the folding page shows the minimum and
maximum permissible burning heights of the flame (Fig. K). The flame can be
adjusted with the wick adjuster knob · (Fig. I).
!
If the flame remains low after the adjustment, the wick height must be adjusted
(refer to Section F).
Burning that is too low may be caused by:
¼ insufficient fuel
¼ poor fuel quality
¼ insufficient ventilation
¼ wastage of the wick

SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER

Let the heater burn at its lowest setting (Fig. L) for approximately one minute.
Then slowly turn the wick adjuster knob · counter-clockwise to its stop. The
flame will extinguish after a little while.
For routine turn-off, DO NOT use the "Safety button" or activate the
!
"Automatic Extinguisher" by jarring the heater. These methods may cause
unwanted odour, soot and smoke. Only the wick adjuster knob should be used
for normal shutoff.
!
In case of an emergency, switch off the heater by pushing down the safety button
(Fig. M).
F
ADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT
After a period of time the combustion may no longer be high enough (Section D). In
that case you can adjust the wick height to improve the flame. To do this, the heater
must have been switched off. Follow the procedure below:
1
Release the automatic extinguisher by pushing down the safety button (Fig.
M).
2
Pull the wick adjuster knob · off the heater, so the wick height lock
visible.
3
Take the plastic collar between your thumb and index finger and pull it out.
Turn the collar up one step, to either position 2 or 3 (Fig. N). Carefully push
the collar back, so the pin engages in the recess.
