NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER

UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING

CHECKING THE IGNITION SYSTEM

If the automatic ignition system fails to operate properly,

perform the following checks:

BATTERIES -2 "C" cell batteries are located at the rear of the heater.

Replace with new batteries.

IGNITER PLUG - If the automatic ignition system still doesn't work

after replacing the batteries, check the igniter plug. If the glow coil

filament is broken, bent, or doesn't glow when engaged via the ignition lever, it must be replaced.

CAUTION: Be sure igniter plug is Type "B", 2.5V DC, 1A only.

To replace the igniter plug (Fig.15);

Remove the batteries.

Remove the 2 cabinet screws and lift off the cabinet and grill assembly.

Pull the ignition lever to raise the igniter plug.

Push the igniter plug in and turn in a clockwise direction to remove.

Install a new igniter plug (Type "B", 2.5V DC, 1A only) by pushing it in and turning it in a

counter-clockwise direction.

Reassemble the heater and replace the batteries.

TEST IGNITION Using the wick adjuster knob, raise the wick to its maximum height.

Pull the ignition lever.

The igniter plug should be within 1~2mm of the wick when the ignition lever is

fully engaged.

ADJUSTING THE WICK

After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation.

During the first 5 minutes after ignition, the burner chamber warms up and flames will become visible at the top

of burner. These flames will gradually build up. After 5-7 minutes of operation, you should use the wick

adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height. The proper flame height is a flame of no more than 1/2" at the

top of the burner, with an even distribution of flame around the flame spreader disk which is positioned in the

center of the top portion of the burner. See pictures below for reference.

As you continue to operate the heater, the temperature of the heater and the temperature of the room will

continue to change. As the heater warms up, the kerosene in the tank will vaporize faster, and this could

require adjusting the wick adjuster down in order to maintain the desired 1/2" flame height. Therefore, it is

necessary to continue to monitor the flame height, and to make adjustments using the wick adjuster knob to

keep the proper flame height. It is recommended that the heater be checked every 30 minutes in order to keep

the proper adjustment because periodic adjustment is required.

CORRECT FLAME

Proper combustion

IMPORTANT NOTE : NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING.

Always make sure to turn the heater off and inspect it to insure that it is completely

extinguished prior to going to bed.

FLAME TOO HIGH

Can Produce smoke

and soot

FLAME TOO LOW

Can produce odor

and carbon monoxide

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! CHECKING THE IGNITION SYSTEM If the automatic ignition system fails to operate properly, perform the following checks: Igniter BATTERIES -2 "C" cell batteries are located at the rear of the heater. Replace with new batteries. Fig.15 IGNITER PLUG - If the automatic ignition system still doesn't work after replacing the batteries, check the igniter plug.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! NOTE : During start-up, small adjustments to the flame can be performed by using the burner knob on the front of the burner and MOVING THE BURNER FROM SIDE TO SIDE until the flame at the top of burner is as even as possible. DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER KNOB ONCE THE HEATER HAS REACHED NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE FLAME HAS STABILIZED. THE BURNER KNOB IS VERY HOT DURING OPERATION. Fig.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! http://worldmkting.com/wick-installation-instructions WICK ASSEMBLY- Check at least once a month!! The burner assembly sits on top of the wick guide. Over time, tar deposits can accumulate on the wick guide, and this can prevent the burner assembly from seating properly. This can result in poor combustion, smoke, odor, etc..

Replace the wick adjustment knob temporarily. Turn the knob CLOCKWISE to raise the wick. 9. Hold the wick assembly up-side- down, using caution, grasp the wick cover firmly PULL it off with a sharp tug. If you have difficulty doing so, try loosening the wick cover with a flat blade screwdriver.

Align the tabs on the wick cover with the four screw holes on the bottom of the assembly, as shown, and snap it into place. Be certain of firm contact at all points. 17. Be sure the rubber seal on tank is properly seated. Fig.A Fig.B Fig.C 18. (1) Turn the wick adjustment knob to the fully raised position. (2) Pull lightly on the skirt of the wick to remove any slack.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! EXTINGUISHING THE HEATER To extinguish the heater, push down on the manual shut-off knob (Fig.18) with one hand while holding the wick adjuster knob in the other hand. You will feel the pressure of spring action attempting to turn the wick adjuster knob in a counterclockwise direction in your hand. By slowly relaxing your grip on the wick adjuster knob, you will allow the spring to gradually lower the wick and extinguish the flame.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 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 grill, give the heater a firm shake.

7 CONTROLAR EL SISTEMA DE IGNICION Si la ignición automática no funciona correctamente, realice las pruebas siguientes: - PILAS - 2 "C" las pilas se localizan atrás en el calentador. Reemplace con pilas nuevas. - EL TAPÓN DEL MECHERO - Si el sistema de la ignición automático todavía no funciona después de reemplazar las pilas, mire al tapón del mechero. Si el filamento de la bobina caliente está roto, torcido, o no brilla cuando se junta con la palanca de ignición, debe reemplazarse.

NOTA: Cuando primero encienda al calentador, pequeños ajustes a la llama pueden ser realizados por usar el bulto del quemador en el frente del quemador y MOVER EL QUEMADOR DE UN LADO AL OTRO hasta que la llama encima del quemador está igualado tanto como posible. No TOQUE EL BULTO del QUEMADOR UNA VEZ QUE EL CALENTADOR ha ALCANZADO TEMPERTURA NORMAL EN QUE FUNCIONA Y LA LLAMA se ha ESTABILIZADO. EL BULTO del QUEMADOR ESTA MUY CALIENTE DURANTE el FUNCIONAMIENTO.

http://worldmkting.com/wick-installation-instructions 11 ¡MONTAJE DE LA MECHA - Inspeccione por lo menos una vez al mes!! El montaje del quemador se sienta encima de la guía de la mecha. Con el tiempo, los depósitos de alquitrán pueden acumularse en la guía de la mecha, y esto puede impedir que el montaje del quemador se siente correctamente. Esto puede producir combustión pobre, humo, olor, etc.

7. Quite las cuatro tuercas de mariposa que mantiene el montaje de la mecha junto al calentador y cuidadosamente levante el montaje de la mecha del calentador. 8. Vuelva a poner el bulto del ajustador de mecha temporalmente. Gire el bulto EN EL SENTIDO DE LAS AGUJAS DEL RELOJ para subir la mecha. 9. Mientras sostiene el conjunto de la El dentro de la tapa mecha boca abajo, ponga la cubierta de la mecha en posición de apertura y SÁQUELA. CUATELA: Dentro de la tapa de la mecha hay dientes afilados.

15. Ponga el montaje de la mecha al revés para re poner la tapa de la mecha. 16. Alinee las etiquetas en de la tapa de la mecha con los cuatro agujeros de tornillo en el fondo del montaje, como se muestra, presionela en su lugar. Asegurese que hay contacto firme en todos los puntos. CONSEJO PARA LA INSTALACIÓN DE LA MECHA 1.
