Instructions For Reigniting Your Heater After Being Put Out; Daily Inspection And Maintenance; Checking Heater And Its Periphery; Wick Guide Assembly - CORONA SX-2E Owner's Manual

If the heater does not extinguish after pressing the "Shut-off" button, the wick may be lowered by press-
ing the "Shut-off" button while simultaneously raising the wick control lever.
These two operations must be done simultaneously to avoid damage to the heater.
IMPORTANT: If this method must be used to extinguish the heater, take it to the nearest authorized
service center for servicing before attempting to use the heater.
IMPORTANT: After depressing the "Shut-off" button, always make sure the wick control lever is in the
"OFF" position and the flame is completely out.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REIGNITING YOUR HEATER AFTER BEING PUT OUT
If the heater is reignited immediately after it has been extinguished, the burner chimney will become
hot and give off an odor. It is advisable to wait for about 5 minutes after extinguishing the heater in
order to allow the burner chimney to cool down before reigniting it.
DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: LET THE EXTINGUISHED HEATER COOL SATISFACTORILY BEFORE MAKING INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE WORK.
1. Checking Heater and Its Periphery - -
Each time before use
1) Check the base plate and the fuel tank from time to time to see if there are any oil leakages,
spills or blots.
2) Always keep the heater combustion surfaces including the glass burner cylinder clean using a soft
cloth to avoid the damage. If the glass cylinder is cracked or broken, replace with a new one
(see page 13).
3) Always keep the heater clean . Especially wipe heater clean of kerosene smudges to avoid
unpleasant odors.
4) Do not leave combustibles near the heater.
2. Wick Guide Assembly - -
Check once a month
Cinders will accumulate over time at the part of the wick guide assembly where the burner
chimney is placed . These accumulated cinders may preclude the burner chimney from being seated
properly, having adverse effects on combustion. If this is the case, remove the burner chimney and
clean cinders off the assembly.
Take care not t o let cinders drop into the wick guide grooves.
Scrape off cinders with the tip of a "Minus" (flat blade) screwdriver.
3. Wick - -
Check once a week
Carbon and tar will attach over time to the upper part of the wick, causing a delay in the spread
of the flame or making the heater burn poorly.
