ADJUSTING THE FLAME
1. After lighting, wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature.
2. CHECK THE FLAME LENGTH
After ten to fifteen (10-15) minutes, the entire heat chamber should be glowing red.

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.
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.
