ADJUSTING THE WICK

After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation.
During the first 5 minutes after ignition, the burner chamber warms up and flames will become visible at the top
of burner. These flames will gradually build up. After 5-7 minutes of operation, you should use the wick
adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height. The proper flame height is a flame of no more than 1/2" at the
top of the burner, with an even distribution of flame around the flame spreader disk which is positioned in the
center of the top portion of the burner. See pictures below for reference.
As you continue to operate the heater, the temperature of the heater and the temperature of the room will
continue to change. As the heater warms up, the kerosene in the tank will vaporize faster, and this could
require adjusting the wick adjuster down in order to maintain the desired 1/2" flame height. Therefore, it is
necessary to continue to monitor the flame height, and to make adjustments using the wick adjuster knob to
keep the proper flame height. It is recommended that the heater be checked every 30 minutes in order to keep
the proper adjustment because periodic adjustment is required.
