Wick Replacement Procedure

Replacing the wick is a critical maintenance task. Follow these steps carefully for proper installation:

1. తయారీ: Ensure the heater is completely cool and empty of kerosene. Remove the top grill and any other components necessary to access the wick assembly.
2. Remove Old Wick: Carefully detach the old wick from its holder. Note its orientation and how it was secured.
3. Clean Heater: Clean any carbon buildup or debris from the wick housing and burner assembly. This is crucial for efficient operation and to prevent future issues.
4. Install New Wick: Insert the new #5 wick into the wick holder. Ensure it is seated evenly and securely. The orange band on the wick should align with the top of the wick sleeve or guide.
5. మళ్లీ కలపండి: Reattach the wick holder to the heater. Ensure all components are securely fastened.
6. Saturate Wick: Refill the kerosene tank with 1-K grade kerosene. Allow at least 60 minutes for the new wick to fully absorb the fuel before attempting to light the heater. This saturation period is essential to prevent damage to the wick.

Initial Heater Operation After Wick Replacement

After replacing the wick and allowing it to saturate with kerosene for at least one hour:

1. Ensure the wick is fully extended to its highest position.
2. Light the wick according to your heater's specific instructions.
3. Allow the heater to burn for approximately 30 minutes at its highest setting to properly break in the new wick. This helps to stabilize the flame and optimize performance.
4. Adjust the flame height as needed for comfortable heating.

Wick Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance extends the life of your wick and ensures safe heater operation:

• Wick Cleaning: Periodically clean the top of the wick to remove carbon buildup. This can be done by turning the wick up to its highest point and gently scraping off any hardened carbon with a non-metallic tool.
• Dry Burn: Perform a 'dry burn' every few weeks or as recommended by your heater's manufacturer. This involves allowing the heater to run until it completely runs out of fuel, burning off any remaining impurities in the wick.
• Red Dye Alert: Kerosene containing red dye can indicate impurities or additives that may affect wick performance and longevity. If you notice excessive carbon buildup or a change in flame quality, consider switching to a purer 1-K grade kerosene.
• నిల్వ: When storing the heater for an extended period, remove all kerosene and perform a dry burn to prevent the wick from hardening or becoming clogged.

Troubleshooting Common Wick Issues

• Uneven Flame: Ensure the wick is seated evenly in the holder. Carbon buildup can also cause an uneven flame; clean the wick as described in the maintenance section.
• Low Flame/Poor Heat Output: Check if the wick is fully saturated with kerosene. A clogged wick or low fuel level can reduce flame height. Perform a dry burn if necessary.
• Excessive Smoke/Odor: This often indicates improper fuel, a dirty wick, or incorrect wick height. Ensure you are using 1-K kerosene and clean the wick. Adjust the wick height to achieve a clean-burning flame.
• Wick Won't Light: Verify the wick is fully saturated. Check for any obstructions in the burner assembly.
