CHECK BEFORE LIGHTING
1. LEVEL THE HEATER
The heater should be operated on a firm, level floor.
NOTE: If your heater is not level, change locations.
Do not prop it with books or other objects.
2. ENGAGE THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER
The automatic extinguisher is engaged automatically by turning
the wick adjuster knob clockwise.
NOTE: When it is difficult to engage the automatic extinguisher, turn the wick adjuster knob
counterclockwise once until it stops. And then turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise.
LIGHTING
NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in
a garage or an area outside protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to
remove all of the protective oil present on the burner parts. If this 15 minutes "burn-in" is
done inside, some objectionable odor will be observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY
THE FIRST TIME you ignite your heater.
NOTE: If you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it after it has been
out of fuel for a long time, you will need to wait about thirty (30) minutes for the wick to
become fully saturated.
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops.
As the wick rises within the heater, the wick adjuster knob turns
with some resistance and makes a sound like the winding of a
clock. Once the wick has reached its proper height, the automatic
extinguisher is fully engages.
The wick adjuster knob can now move freely left or right to adjust
the flame.
2. AUTOMATIC LIGHTING
Gently push the igniter button, the igniter coil should glow and
touch the wick.
NOTE: If you have difficulty igniting wick, push back the igniter
button very slightly to remove the igniter coil from direct
contact with the wick.
3. LIGHTING WITH MATCH
You should not have to light the heater with a match, but should it
become necessary, open the grille, lift the heat chamber up by
holding the wire handle and touch the match to the top of the
wick. Do not allow burned parts of the match to fall or remain on
the wick.
NOTE: To restore the automatic igniter system to proper operation,
replace worn out batteries, or if the igniter coil defective,
replace it.
4. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire
handle left and right. If the movement is cough and jerky, it
indicates that the heat chamber has not seated properly.
