1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. This raises the wick to itsmaximum height. 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 engaged. The wick adjuster knob will now move freely left or right to adjust the
flame.
2. LIGHTING
Tilt the heat chamber 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.
3. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire heat chamberhandle left and
right.
NOTE: An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame, smoke, and
potential damage to the heater itself. Proper seating of the heat chamber is essential for
good performance. Do not leave the heater until you have determined that the flame is
burning normally, as described in the following section.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME
1. After lighting, wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature. This will take ten (10)
minutes,after which the flame will be visible through the glass cylinder.
2. CHECK THE FLAME LENGTH
After (5) minutes, the entire heat chamber should be glowing red.
Produces smoke and
lf necessary, raise or lower the wick by turning the wick adjuster knob to produce the proper flame condition.
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.
