Q: Is it normal to see a flame after a few minutes of heating with the PVG SENDAI 250?

Yes, it is completely normal to see a flame after a few minutes of heating with the PVG SENDAI 250. This device is a kerosene auxiliary heater that operates with a visible flame, ignited electrically. A small flame must appear in the burner during startup. Heating time: After ignition, wait 10 to 15 minutes before getting closer or fully assessing the heating quality. This is the time needed for the heater to stabilize its operation and for the ambient temperature to gradually rise. Flame height: The flame should be at a correct height, adjustable with the central button of the device. A flame that is too high can produce smoke and soot, while a flame that is too low causes odors and premature wear of the wick. Check that the height of your flame corresponds to the indications in the diagram of the manual (figure O). Essential points to check: Ensure that the burner (element D) is correctly positioned in place, sliding easily to the right (figure E). Incorrect positioning of the burner causes smoke and soot. Also, make sure you are using only pure kerosene without water to ensure proper combustion. Upon ignition of the heater, the device may emit a slight odor, which is normal for a new kerosene heater. If you notice an unstable flame, abnormal smoke, or a strong persistent odor beyond a few ignitions, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual or contact an authorized technical service to check the condition of the burner and wick.
