THE HEATER SLOWLY EXTINGUISHES
 The removable tank is empty.
See Section B.
 The fuel filter is contaminated by water.
Dry the fuel filter (Section H, Fig. P).
 The lower reservoir is contaminated by water.
Contact your dealer.
 The wick has hardened on the upper side.
Burn the heater until all fuel is used (Section H). Use the right fuel.
 You are using fuel which is past its 'use by' date.
Start every heating season with fresh fuel.
THE HEATER REMAINS BURNING LOW
 Wick position too low.
Reinstall the wick height lock (Section F).
 Before you refilled the tank, the heater had burnt up almost all the fuel.
After having refilled and replaced the removable tank, wait for 30 minutes
before igniting the heater.
 You are using the incorrect type of fuel.
Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section 'What you need to know in advance').
 The room is insufficiently ventilated.
Leave a window or a door wide open for a while.
THE HEATER IS BURNING TOO HIGH
 The flame at the initial stage is tending to make higher flame due to the
brand new components. The flame will be lower after approximately 10 hours
combustion.
 You are using an incorrect, too volatile type of fuel.
Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section 'What you need to know in advance').
 Wick position too high.

MAINTENANCE
Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you
remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these
may cause stains that are hard to remove. Under normal conditions, only two
components are subject to wear:
1. THE BATTERIES
You may replace the batteries yourself. Check the spark discharge sound. If the
sound is cracked, the voltage of the battery is low. Please change the battery.
Check the ignition plug following the maintenance procedure 3 if the sound
does not change even after the replacement of the battery. Do not dispose of
old batteries along with the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable
regulations regarding the disposal of domestic chemical waste.
2. THE WICK
To extend the glass fibre wick life, you must occasionally let the heater burn until
the tank is completely emptied and the heater extinguishes by itself. Do this when
you notice that the flame is weakening. The burn-out will cause some smells, so it
is recommended that you take the heater outside of the living room.
3. Electrodes
When the electrodes gets dirty by carbon or tar, clean the electrodes following
"the cleaning procedure of electrodes". If the electrodes digs into the wick, it
may cause the ignition failure. Then fix the position of the electrodes following
"the fixing position procedure of the wick". Be sure not to spill the water on the
electrodes.
THE FUEL FILTER
Check the fuel filter regularly as well.
Remove the removable tank  from the heater and take out the fuel filter (Fig.
P). Some drops of fuel may spill from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Turn the
fuel filter upside down and clean it from all dirt deposits by tapping it on a hard
surface. (never clean it with water!) Reposition the fuel filter in the heater.
