Filling and Refilling the Tank

1. Remove the filter cap.

2. Fill with lighting kerosene (BS2869.C1) until the fuel gauge indicates [F]. Do not overfill.

Also, refill before the gauge indicates [0].

When igniting the heater for the first time, wait about 10 minutes until the wick is soaked with fuel. If you ignite the wick when it is not soaked, you will burn it and cause heavy smoke. The warranty will not be valid.

1. Lift the wick by turning the wick adjusting handle to the right.

2. Lift the chimney slightly from the burner.

3. Light the wick with a match and reposition the chimney properly on the burner.TC84100N

If the wire net on top of the chimney turns red hot, the combustion is correct.

If the flames flare up over the wire net, the wick is too high. Lower the wick.

If the wire net stays dark, the wick or fuel level is too low. Raise the wick or refill with fuel.

To extinguish the heater, turn the wick adjusting handle to the left. The flame will stop after 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the wick adjusting handle gently. Too excessive a handling can sometimes cause a blow flame. Take care the flame is completely extinct when you fill or replace the heater. Be sure the flame is completely out when the heater is left alone.

• Disassemble and clean the kerosene heater before storing. Empty the tank, turn the tank upside down and clean with cloth imbibed with a lighting kerosene.
