NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
13
TESTING THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE : At least once a week during the heating season, it is important to test
the safety shut-off device to be sure that it is operating properly. WITH THE HEATER TURNED OFF, raise the wick
using the wick adjuster knob to the fully raised position. Grabbing the protective grille, give the heater a firm shake. If
the safety shut-off device is working properly, you will hear a loud noise as the ratchet is disengaged and the torsion
spring drops the wick into the body of the heater. To verify that the wick has been completely lowered, turn the wick
adjuster knob in a counterclockwise direction. If the safety shut-off device is functioning properly, the wick will have
been completely lowered. If you are able to lower the wick further using the wick adjuster knob, this means that it is
time to perform the "Carbon Removal Dry Burning" procedure described on page 8 again.

LONG TERM STORAGE OF YOUR HEATER
Carefully following the instructions for storage given below will insure that your heater will operate efficiently
and safely next season (Fig. 19/ Fig. 20).
¡'
Using a small amount of kerosene, swirl and rinse the inside of the tank. NEVER mix water with the
kerosene as it will cause rust inside the tank. Pour the kerosene out making sure that you remove it all.
¡'
With the fuel tank empty, ignite the heater. With the wick at its maximum height, keep the wick
burning until it burns out completely (about 1 hour). It is a good idea to do this outside or in an
extremely well- ventilated area.
¡'
Remove the batteries. Remove the 2 cabinet screws and lift off the the cabinet and grille assembly.
Remove the burner. Remove the wick adjuster from the fuel reservoir. Throughly dry the inside of the
fuel tank. Using a screwdriver and/or a brush, remove any carbon, tar or soot that might have
accumulated on the wick adjuster, wick guide or burner.
¡'
After a thorough cleaning, reassemble the heater. It is important when reassembling the wick adjuster
to be sure to maintain an equal gap between the wick adjuster and the wick guide cylnder all around.
See "Wick Replacement" on page7 for reference.
¡'
Remove the batteries from the battery case before storing the heater to prevent leakage and
corrosion.
¡'
Store the heater with the wick in the fully lowered position and the safety shut-off device deactivated.
¡'
Store the heater in the original box with the original packing material and keep the OWNER'S
MANUAL
with the heater. Store in an area that is well- ventilated.
