LIGHTING THE HEATER
Move from side to side
Before you light the heater, check the
following points:
The combustion cylinder must be proprely positioned. Make
it rotate pushing the lever from left to right and make sure it
is correctly fitted.
When you use the heater for the first time, odours may
persist for a certain time after lighting. This is normal, as oil
and protective grease in the heater have to be burnt off.
Slowly push the ignition lever downwards until it stops and
keep the knob downwards. The wick will rise and the heater
ignites automatically. Check visually that the heater is alight.
After having carried out the ignition procedure, there may be
some white smoke coming out of the ignition zone, without
the heater being lit. In this case, move up the ignition lever
part way through its travel and the heater will start to
operate. This operation must be done slowly and gently.
Try several times if lighting is not carried out in the 2 or 3 se-
conds. In the event of insistence, you risk to roast the lighter
or the wick (spare parts non garanty).

Using simultaneously a fan, or a humidifier may cause the
flame to become slightly pink. This is normal. Never touch
the automatic ignition device when the heater is in use. By
lowering it you will make the flame rise if you push it too
strongly, you may damage the lighting filament or even
break it.
Adjusting the height of the flamme
Combustion can be optimized within a range of 10% by adjusting the height of the flame
(see hereafter).
Go up a little the button of adjustment to decrease the combustion.
Bad combustion Good combustion Bad combustion
Insufficient heating of the
upper part of the system.
Check the quality of the
fuel and the estate of the
wick
If despite the regulation, the flame is too high or if the heater unevenly (its colour is not
uniform), take the lever on the combustion cylinder and shake it gently once or twice, go
up the lever for the height of the wick. If the problem subsists, stop the heater and contact
your retailer.
If you continue using your heater with bad combustion, soot and/or CO emission will
result.

the combustion cylinder has not had time to cool down, lighting the heater again may
result in odours being given off.
