ADJUSTING THE FLAME
1. After lighting, wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature. This will take ten-fifteen minutes, after
which the flame will be visible through the mica window.
2. CHECK THE FLAME LENGTH
Look at the flame and check its length. Flame length is not necessarily even or uniform around the circumference
of the center disk. Some areas may be lower than others, but on maximum wick height, flame length should
average between 10 mm (3/8 in.) to 25 mm (1 in.).
lf necessary, raise or lower the wick by turning the wick adjuster knob within ADJUSTMENT RANGE to produce
the proper flame condition.
NOTE: DO NOT operate your heater with wick set TOO LOW or TOO HIGH. Doing so will decrease combustion
efficiency and increase production of unwanted emissions.
NOTE: ALWAYS observe the heater closely for the first 15-20 minutes after it is lighted to be sure it is properly
adjusted.
3. ADJUSTMENT OF WICK HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER
Normal use of the wick and heat chamber over a period of time may make it impossible to achieve a
satisfactorily high flame level. Usually this occurs because the wick develops deposits on it that retard fuel flow
and evaporation. When this happens, the wick should be cleaned by “burning dry” as described in item 2, page
11 “INSPECTION OF THE WICK”.
When the “burning dry” cleaning procedure is no longer effective in restoring proper
flame height, adjust the wick life extender mechanism to the next higher position.
NOTE: DO NOT move the wick life extender to a higher position unless the wick
has been cleaned by “burning dry”.
To adjust the wick height rising the wick life extender, first release the automatic
extinguisher by pushing down on the MANUAL SHUTOFF.
Then pull the wick adjuster knob from its shaft by pulling outward.
