Apollo Greenhouse Small Assembly Instructions

1. Fit Lugs on spreader cover (slotted Top) into the slots in heat spreader, then twist tabs to secure using a pair of pliers
2. Insert burner(s) into the fuel tank
3. To assemble the chimney(s) and top spreader, lay on a flat surface and push chimney(s) onto the fixing clips. The
chimney(s) may then be fitted onto the burner(s)
1. Fill the tank with 4.5 litres (1 gallon) maximum of premium grade paraffin to BS 2869 Class 1, Leave 10mm (1/2") air
space in the top of the tank.
2. Allow at least on hour for the wicks to absorb the paraffin. DO NOT LIGHT A DRY WICK
3. Light Wicks in a low position
4. Fit Chimney(s) and assembled heat spreader with guard, adjust the flame height as illustrated
a. the heat spreader clips to the top of the chimney(s)
5. Check the height of the flame after approximately 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes, adjust as necessary to make sure
you have a smokeless flame.
6. To extinguish flames, turn the Wicks down by turning the control knobs anti-clockwise and blow through the hole in the
heat spreader.
7. Surplus charring on the Wicks should be removed with a light brush or duster
8. When operating, the tip of the flame must not be above the centre bridge of the burner. If used on a higher flame
setting the wicks will dry out and smoking will occur.
9. It is important, even on cold days & nights, to have ventilation otherwise the burners can be starved of oxygen and the
flame will die down. Allow a minimum of 38cmsq (6"sq) of opening for adequate ventilation. Draughts should of course
be avoided.
10. Before refilling the heater, extinguish the flame by turning the control knobs anti clockwise and blow through the hole
in the heat spreader.
11. Always use a clean dry container and funnel to store a transfer paraffin.
12. Before lighting new wicks or old wicks after a period of disuse, remove wicks from the burner and allow to dry. If the
wicks are damp the siphoning action will not commence. Once dry refit the wicks and allow them to absorb the
paraffin. (See 2)
13. With the large Heater, one burner may be used in mild conditions, but both wicks in that burner should be lit.
14. Always keep the tank well supplied with paraffin to ensure the wicks are well immersed, otherwise the wicks can be
starved of paraffin, the flame will die down and smoking may occur.
15. When the heater is not in the summer months, empty the fuel tank and store the heater in a dry environment.
