cleaner, black carbon
will
appear through the
gaps.
~ontinue
turning the cleaner and turning
the wick up GENTLY until no more carbon
comes through the gaps and, provided the cleaner
has been kept pre
ss
ed on to the burner basket
flange, a perfectly cleaned a
nd
shaped wick
will
result.
Tum
wick down and remove cleaner. Take
out burner basket by turning anti-clockwise and
lifting. Clean burner basket with a cloth, particu-
larly the flange at the top. When replacing make
sure it
is
correctly in position. Always
cle
an wick
with the wick cleaner provided NEYER
USE
SCISSORS, RAZOR BLADES, ETC.
. Having cleaned the wick, check that there is no
· fluff or dirt in the burner basket, the flame
spreader, or in the gap
at
the bottom
of
the
chimney. Clean these parts when necessary ;
if
the hol
es
become blocked the burner may
not
function properly.
As
with all oil burners
it
must
be kept CLEAN. The flame spreader
and
burner
basket are rustproof and may
be
washed in warm
soapy water, both being removed for this pur-
pose. Neither the wick nor the
tank
must be
washed with water; the tank may be rinsed out
occasionally with CLEAN kerosine (paraffin).
On no account should any parts
of
the heater
be
stood on a hot stove
to
dr
y.
This is only necessary
if
the wick has become very
uneven due
to
partial starvation resulting from
a badly fitted wick (see
"To
fit
new wick")
or
incorrect or infrequent wick cleaning. Empty
tank
as far as possible. Lower top
of
heater and
adjust wick so
that
the LOWEST
part
of
the
burning edge is level with the burner
ba
sket
flange. Light the wick, close the top
of
the heater
and allow
it
to
bum
dry. Do not blow
it
out.
The wick must now be reshaped exactly
as
in
cleaning. After
tllis operation the
tank
must be
filled
and the wick allowed
to
soak for an hour
before lighting.
An unpleasant s
mell
may be
given
off during re-charring.
