MAINTENANCE
Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you
remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these
may cause stains that are hard to remove. Under normal conditions, only three
components are subject to wear:
1. THE BATTERIES
You may replace the batteries yourself. Do not dispose of old batteries along with
the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable regulations regarding the
disposal of domestic chemical waste. Do not throw batteries into the fire, where
they can explode or release dangerous liquids.
2. THE WICK
To extend the glass fibre wick life, you must occasionally let the heater burn until
the tank is completely emptied and the heater extinguishes by itself. Do this when
you notice that the flame is weakening. The burn-out will cause some smells, so it
is recommended that you take the heater outside of the living room.
Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for
repairs.
Let the heater cool down first, before you start any maintenance or service work.
STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON)
We recommend that you burn up all the fuel in the fuel tank at the end of the heating
season and store the heater properly. Follow the procedure on the next page:
1 Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burn until all fuel is used.
2 Let the heater cool down.
3 Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth.
4 Remove the batteries from the holder K and store them in a dry place.
5 Clean the fuel filter.
6 Store the heater in a dust-free place, if possible in its original packaging. Unused
fuel cannot be used for the next heating season. If there is still some fuel left, do
not throw it away, but dispose of it in accordance with the local regulations for
the disposal of domestic chemical waste. Always start the new heating season
with fresh fuel. When you start re-using the heater, follow the instructions again
(starting from Section A and as specified).
TRANSPORTATION
Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of
the heater:
1 Let the heater cool down.
2 Remove the removable tank I from the heater and remove the fuel filter.
Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel fil-
ter and the removable tank outside the heater.
