IGNITING THE HEATER
NOTE1: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your
house, either in a garage or an outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it
for about 15 minutes to remove all of the protective oil present on the burner
parts. If this 15 minute "burn-in" is done inside, some objectionable odour will be
observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite your heater.
NOTE2: If you have fuelled your heater for the first time, or if you are refuelling
it after it has been out of fuel for a long time, you will need to wait about thirty
(30) minutes for the wick to become fully saturated before lighting. Failure to

allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may cause permanent
damage to the wick when it is lighted.
Always ignite the heater with the igniter slide. Never use matches or cigarette lighters.
Follow the procedure below:

NOTE: If you have difficulty igniting the wick, push back the igniter lever very
slightly to remove the igniter coil form direct contact with the wick.

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. L) ´. This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is
not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME
After you have ignited the heater, it will take 10 to 15 minutes for the flame to
become visible in the combustion chamber. Only then can you check whether the
flame is correct. 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. Q). The flame can be
adjusted with the wick adjuster knob · (Fig. J).
Too low a flame may also be caused by:

Engage the automatic extinguisher by turning the safety button clockwise
into vertical position (Fig. I). Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops
(Fig. J). This raises the wick to its maximum height. As the wick rises within the
heater, the wick adjuster knob turns with some resistance and makes a sound like
the winding of a clock. Once the wick has reached its proper height, the automa-
tic extinguisher is fully engaged. Gently push down the igniter lever
The igniter coil should glow and touch the wick. When flame appears, release
the igniter lever. The wick adjuster knob will now move freely left or right to
adjust the flame.
