Taking Care of the Wick
With use, a tar-like substance may be deposited on the top of the wick. The glass fibre wick does not need to
be cut. To remove this substance, burn the wick idle as follows:
1. Do not fill the tank with lighting kerosene.
2. Light the wick and let it burn until the flame dies. By this time, the tar-like substance will have been
consumed.
Do this every time you feel the wick does not suck up enough lighting kerosene.

Exchanging Wicks
1. Loosen the three fixing nuts and remove the
guard frame. Remove the chimney.
3. Loosen the nut for the wick adjusting handle
by turning it to the left. Pull the wick adjusting
handle towards you.
5. Insert a new wick inside the wick holder and
fix it with the hooks on the inside of the wick
holder. Make sure to expose an even amount
of wick on both sides of the wick holder. Slide
the wick holder over the wick guide.

2. Loosen the four fixing nuts and remove the
wick cover. Make sure not to lose the packing.
4. Pull up the wick holder together with the wick.
Remove the old wick from the wick holder.
Clean the wick guide, burner cover, etc.
6. Get the wick holder in gear with the tip of the
wick adjusting handle. Turn the wick adjusting
handle to the right and lift the wick fully.
Make sure not to fasten too tightly. If the top
of the wick is not evenly exposed, even out
with a scissor. Put the wick cover on the
burner. Make sure the gap between the wick
cover and the wick guide is even. Test the
heater before actually using it.
