INSTRUCTIONS
for operating your
ALADDIN BLUE FLAME HEATER
This heater is manufactured in accordance with British Oil Heater Regulations
1966, British Standard 3300:1974 and other national and international safety
standards and regulations where relevant. Additionally and in accordance with
the amendments to the British Standard effective from May 1st 1969, the
heater is fitted with an extinguisher which puts out the flame if the heater is
accidentally knocked over. However heat is produced, carelessness and
ignorance can cause accidents, so for your own comfort and safety, please
read and understand these instructions before lighting your heater. The
numbers in brackets in the text will help you to identify the parts on the
illustrations. The illustrations are on the last page and are identified by
symbols in the margins of the text.
UN PACKING
We have been generous with the packing to make sure that your heater gets
to you without damage; make sure you remove all the packing before lighting.
EXTINGUISHER DEVICE
Before filling the tank the extinguishing device should be checked as follows:
Stand the heater on the floor as shown on the front cover of this leaflet. Set
the mechanism by pressing down the resetting lever sticking out of the
chimney. The lever will move easily until near the end of its travel and then
some resistance will be felt as the sensing weight on the mechanism is pulled
up to its set (vertical) position. To check the mechanism, remove the top cover
and rock the heater over on two feet. Look inside the top of the chimney and
you will see the sensing weight falling over releasing the extinguisher which
will slide down over the top of the burner.
Reset the extinguisher and repeat the operation to ensure that the mechanism
is working freely.
Note: Leave the carrying handle down when the heater is in use or it will
overheat.
FILLING
The tank (P.169917) will hold one Imperial gallon (1.2 U.S. gallons or4•5
litres). Use only premium grade paraffin (domestic kerosene) conforming to
British Standard 2869C1. It is very dangerous to use any other fuel such as
petrol or power kerosene. Remember, put absolutely nothing but best quality
paraffin in your tank or storage container and make sure it cannot become
contaminated in any way. The filler cap/air valve (P.169902) unscrews. This
part is extremely important in the functioning of the heater so please handle it
carefully. If the small air hole in the top of the cap becomes blocked with dirt
or fluff it must be cleared by blowing through from the top of the cap. Don’t
use wire or pins etc., as you may damage the diaphragm underneath Wipe
dry any paraffin which may occasionally seep through the air hole.
As a precaution against over-filling, the oil gauge (P.199916) is designed to
register full when the tank is approximately 80% full. To obtain the maximum
burning time quoted for your heater, it will be necessary to disregard the oil
