NOTE: Do not operate your heater with wick set TOO LOW or TOO HIGH. Doing so will decrease combustion efficiency and
increase production of unwanted emissions. When operating heater, be sure wick is high enough to keep the primary
heat chamber heated to a uniform red glow from top to bottom.
NOTE: AIways observe the heater closely for the first 15-20 minutes after it is lighted to be sure it is properly adjusted.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF WICK HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER
Normal use of the wick and heat chamber over a period of time may it impossible to achieve a satisfactorily high flame level.
Usually this occurs because the wick develops deposits on it that retard fuel flow and evaporation.
When this happens, the wick should be cleaned by "burning dry" as described in item 2, page 11 "CARE AND MAINTENANCE".
When the "burning dry" cleaning procedure is no longer effective in restoring proper flame height,
adjust the wick life extender mechanism to the next higher position.
NOTE : Do not move the wick life extender to a higher position unless the wick has been cleaned
by "burning dry".
To adjust the wick height rising the wick life extender, first release the automatic extinguisher by
pushing down on the MANUAL SHUTOFF.
Then pull the wick adjuster knob from its shaft by pulling outward.
When the wick adjuster knob is removed, the wick life extender control can
be seen to contain 3 sequential holes marked 1 , 2 and 3. By pulling out and
turning the control dial counterclockwise, the stem pin of the adjuster can
be moved from 1 to 2 and to 3 position as required. Each step upward from
a lower to a higher number increases the maximum wick adjustment range
by 2 mm (approx. 1/13 in.).
After the wick life extender's dial has been set, be sure the MANUAL
in the "OFF" position. Replace the wick adjuster knob, making sure it is engaged securely on the wick adjuster shaft.
Repeat steps 1 through 3, as needed, in the section titled "ADJUSTING THE FLAME". When
suitable flame length can no longer be achieved even on pin position 3 , the wick should be
replaced.
NOTE : Do not move adjuster to higher position until lower position no longer gives adequate flame
length, even after "burning dry".
Before replacing wick, be sure to move the wick life extender dial back to its 1 position.
CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR HEATER.
