After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion
chamber ¿ is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle ´
(Fig. E). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not
level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.
D
BURNING OF THE HEATER
After you have ignited the heater, it will take 10 to 15 minutes before you can check
L
whether the heater is burning well. Too high a flame may cause smoke and soot,
whereas too low a flame causes smells. The page opposite the folding page shows
the minimum and maximum permissible burning heights of the flame (Fig. P). The
flame can be slightly adjusted with the knurled wick adjustment knob · (Fig. L).
Burning that is too low may be caused by:
insufficient fuel
poor fuel quality
insufficient ventilation
wastage of the wick
E
SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER
Let the heater burn at its lowest setting (Fig. L) for approximately one minute.
Then slowly turn the knurled wick adjustment knob · anti-clockwise to its stop.
The flame will extinguish after a little while.
In case of an emergency, switch off the heater by pushing in the safety button

ADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT
After a period of time the combustion may no longer be high enough (Section D). In
that case you can adjust the wick height to improve the flame. To do this, the heater
must have been switched off. Follow the procedure below:

If adjustment of the wick height does not have the required effect, let the
heater burn until all fuel has been used up (Section H).
