If
these substances are left uncleaned,
the
heater will. be unable
to
perform fully as
it
develops
th
e
following troubles:
• The
wick
will not light readily;
•
The heater wi ll give
off
an offensive smell ;
•
The heater will suffer from a decline in thermal output ;
• The
wick
won't move up and down easily ;
• It will
take
a lot
of
time from the ignition of the heater
to
the
state
of
complete combustion.
In the event
of
any
of
these probl
ems,
clean the
wick
in accordance with the following procedure.
Once a week is recommended during seasons
of
heavy use. We recommend
that
you replace the
wick
with a new one each season.
How
to clean the wick:
1)
Take the heater outdoors on a windless day.
2)
Remove the cartridge
tank
from
the
heater.
3)
Ignite the heater letting
it
burn at full capacity.
4)
Keep the heater burning until the fuel runs out and the flame dies
out
naturally.
5)
If the
wick
is hardened due
to
the presence of degenerated or contaminated fuel, cleaning
it
once
is not enough
to
eliminate its carbon content entirely. So clean the
wick
two or three times.
6)
After you have cleaned the wick, put the cartridge tank back
in
the heater. Wait 30 minutes or
longer
to
allow the wick
to
absorb fuel fully, and then ignite the heater.
7)
If
cleaning does not work an improvement in the
wick
and remains hard
at
its
upper part,
then
replace
it
with a new one as described in "How
to
Replace Parts" on page
10
.
