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 outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the
protective oil present on the burner parts. lf this 15 minute "burn-in" is done inside, some
objectionable odor will be observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite
your heater.
NOTE: lf 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
before Iighting. Failure to allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may cause
permanent damage to the wick when it is lighted.
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. This raises the wick to its
maximum 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 chamber
handle 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.
