If
the
heater does not extinguish after pressing
the
"Shut-off" button,
the
wick
may be lowered by press-
ing
the
"Shut-off" button
while
simultaneously raising
the
wick
control lever.
These
two
operations must be done simultaneously
to
avoid damage
to
the
heater.
IMPORTANT: If
this
method must be used
to
extinguish
the
heater,
take
it
to
the
nearest authorized
service
center
for servicing before attempting
to
use
the
heater.
IMPORTANT: After depressing
the
"Shut-off" button, always make sure
the
wick
control lever
is
in
the
"OFF" position and
the
flame is completely out.
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
REIGNITING
YOUR
HEATER
AFTER
BEING
PUT
OUT
If
the
heater is reignited immediately after
it
has been extinguished,
the
burner chimney will become
hot and give off an odor.
It
is advisable
to
wait
for about 5 minutes after extinguishing
the
heater in
order
to
allow
the
burner chimney
to
cool down before reigniting it.
DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: LET THE EXTINGUISHED HEATER
COOL
SATISFACTORILY
BEFORE
MAKING INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE
WORK.
1.
Checking Heater
and
Its
Periphery
--
Each
time
before
use
1)
Check
the
base plate and
the
fuel
tank
from time
to
time
to
see
if
there are any oil leakages,
spills
or blots.
2)
Always keep the heater combustion surfaces including the glass burner cylinder clean using a soft
cloth
to avoid the damage.
If
the glass cylinder
is
cracked or broken, replace with a new one
(see page
13)
.
3)
Always keep
the
heater clean. Especially wipe heater clean
of
kerosene smudges
to
avoid
unpleasant odors.
4) Do
not
leave combustibles near
the
heater.
2.
Wick Guide
Assembly
--
Check once a
month
Cinders will accumulate over time
at
the
part
of
the
wick
guide assembly where the burner
chimney is
placed. These accumulated cinders may preclude
the
burner chimney from being seated
properly, having adverse
effects
on combustion.
If
this
is
the
case, remove
the
burner chimney and
clean cinders
off
the
assembly.
Take
care not to let cinders drop
into
the
wick
guide grooves.
Scrape
off
cinders with
the
tip
of
a "Minus" (flat blade) screwdriver.
3.
Wick
--
Check once a week
Carbon and
tar
will
attach
over time
to
the
upper part
of
the
wick
, causing a
delay
in
the
spread
of
the
flame or making
the
heater burn poorly.
