2. Lift the chimney slightly from the burner.
3. Light the wick with a match and reposition the chimney properly on the burner.

Adjusting the Flame

Extinguishing the Flame

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.

5. Care and Maintenance

WARNING

Make sure to empty the tank before transporting or shipping the device.

Storing

• 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.
• The wick should be kept apart from the wick holder and fuel tank.
• Store the heater in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• In the unlikely event of technical problems or should you need spare parts, please contact your dealer.

Taking Care of the Wick

With use, a tar-like substance may be deposited on the top of the wick. The glass fibre wick does not need to be cut. To remove this substance, burn the wick idle as follows:

1. Do not fill the tank with lighting kerosene.
2. Light the wick and let it burn until the flame dies. By this time, the tar-like substance will have been consumed.

Do this every time you feel the wick does not suck up enough lighting kerosene.
