Always handle a new wick carefully so that you do not damage the top edge.
Holding the carrier (P.379935) in one hand with the flanged end at the top,
and the new wick in the other, insert the tails through the top of the wick
carrier until the two teeth on each side of the wick are immediately above the
slots on either side of the carrier. Gently squeeze the wick above the teeth
and ease it down until they engage with the lowest set of slots in the carrier as
shown at “A”. Grasp the ends of the tails together with the bottom of the
carrier and gently draw the assembly over the centre tube of the tank “B”. Line
up rack on wick carrier with the winder cog “C” and gently push the assembly
down until the rack engages with the winder cog. Then turn the wick down
with the winder—ensuring at the same time that the tape on the inside of the
wick does not catch on top of the centre tube.
Replace burner basket and lock firmly in position by turning clockwise.
Replace the flame spreader. Refill the tank and allow the wick to soak for at
least an hour before lighting. As the wick is consumed during normal use it
will be found that it cannot be turned up high enough to give a full height
flame. When this happens, withdraw the wick and carrier as described above
and re-position the wick in the next higher set of slots in the carrier. This may
be done several times until a full height flame becomes impossible even with
the wick in the highest slots, at which stage a new Aladdin wick must be fitted.
The capital letters, A, B and C in the text will guide you to the various Wick
Fitting illustrations on the last page.
MAINTENANCE
Replace any damaged or worn out part immediately with a genuine Aladdin
spare—we cannot accept any responsibility if substitutes are used.
Once a year rinse out the tank with clean paraffin (kerosene) and fit a new
wick.
If you cannot get the SAFE BLUE FLAME or are in any difficulty take the
heater to your nearest Aladdin stockist. Never use a heater which is not
working properly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Always ensure that the heater is placed on a level surface and the handle is
in the down position when the heater is alight.
2. Use only premium grade paraffin conforming to BS 2869 grade C1. We
recommend ‘Pink” paraffin available in U.K. and Eire only; NEVER USE petrol
or any other fuel.
3. Make sure the flame is Blue.
4. Keep all parts of the heater clean, particularly the burner and chimney.
5. Ensure the room is well ventilated—fresh air must have access, but do not
put the heater in a draught.
6. Do not fill when alight. Do not carry while alight.
Do not allow clothes or any article on or near the heater. Do not place the
heater where it can be knocked over.
7. Replace damaged parts immediately.
8. Use only Aladdin spares—others can be dangerous.
9. Make sure the heater is guarded if children are in the room alone.
10. Do not add salt or anything else to the fuel—it’s useless and harmful.
11. Provision for fixing. There are screw holes in the feet of the heater.
