Pull the wick adjuster knob out completely. (It can be removed
completely from its shaft.)
The wick height adjuster knob, with three small holes marked 1,
2, and 3, can be seen. The stem pin is engaged in one of the
holes. Pull the control dial toward you and change the location of
the pin from 1 to 2, or from 2 to 3. Each step from pin 1 to 2
will raise the maximum wick height by 2 mm per step. After this
adjustment, replace the wick adjuster knob.
When suitable flame length can no longer be achieved even on
pin position 3, it is time to clean and replace the wick. AFTER
REPLACING THE WICK, CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE
AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR HEATER.
NOTE: Never use positions 2 or 3 until position 1 no linger
gives adequate flame length.

EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME

1. Turn the wick adjuster knob counterclockwise until it stops. This
requires about a quarter turn. At this point, the flame is
completely extinguished and the heater is off.
NOTE: DO NOT use the automatic extinguisher to routinely turn off
this heater. Automatic extinguishing should occur only when
the heater is jarred or tipped. Using the automatic
extinguisher to turn off the heater will cause odor, smoke and
soot.
2. Make sure the flame is out completely.
3. Do not try to relight the heater for at least three (3) minutes
extinguishing it off as this may cause smoke and odor.

MANUAL SHUTOFF

When quick shutoff is necessary, push the manual shutoff button.
NOTE: For routine turn-off, DO NOT use the Manual Shutoff or
activate the Automatic Extinguisher by jarring the heater.
These methods may cause unwanted odor, soot and smoke.
Only the wick adjuster knob should be used for normal
shutoff.
