The burner assembly sits on top of the wick guide. Over time, tar deposits can
accumulate on the wick guide, and this can prevent the burner assembly from
seating properly. This can result in poor combustion, smoke, odor, etc.. To
prevent this from happening, tar deposits on the wick guide can be removed
as follows:
• Making sure that the heater is both cool and turned off, lower the wick to
the “off” position.
• Remove the batteries (located at the rear of the heater).
• Remove the 2 cabinet screws. Lift off the cabinet and grill assembly as
shown in illustration. (Fig.A)
• Using the wick adjuster knob, raise the top of the wick until it is even
with the top of the wick guide. Using a at-edge screwdriver, scrape off
the tar deposits. Be careful not to allow any of the tar deposits to
drop into the grooves of the wick guide. A small vacuum cleaner can be
used to remove the tar deposits that have been scraped off. (Fig.B)
• Reassemble the heater and replace the batteries.
1. Push down the manual shut-off knob and turn the wick adjustment
knob COUNTER CLOCKWISE in the direction of “OFF”.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove cabinet screws on
either side of the heater cabinet.
3. Use the carrying handle to lift the cabinet straight up and
away from the heater.
The wick in your heater needs replacing if, after repeated cleanings, any of the following conditions still exist:
slow to light, hard movement of the wick adjuster knob, kerosene odor while burning, low heat output, slow
warm up, damaged wick.
Use only a genuine replacement wick.

• If cleaning the Wick does not improve performance, you will need to replace the wick. Refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE”, see page 18, which outlines conditions under which the wick should be
replaced.
• DO NOT attempt to substitute any other type of wick device or a wick designed for another brand or
model heater. You could damage the heater and create a potential re hazard.
• Call customer service at 1-877-447-4768, to order a wick.
ATTENTION : The only tools needed to replace the Wick are :
