TROUBLESHOOTING *Always be sure your heater is turned off, unplugged and cool to the touch before continuing
 with troubleshooting.

Is the heater lighting (burner glowing red)?
Does the wick easily raise and spring down when the extinguish button is pressed?

  1. Fuel tank empty. Fill with fresh K-1 kerosene, lower wick to lowest position and soak for 60 mins before starting lighting procedure.
  2. Water present in fuel. Draing all fuel, allow to air dry for 24 hours, replace wick. Be sure to soak new wick @ lowest position in fresh fuel for 60 mins before lighting.
  3. Ignitor plug is not glowing. Replace batteries if needed and check ignitor plug for damaged coil (refer to INSTRUCTION MANUAL in TECHNICAL INFORMATION) replace if needed.
  4. Wick is not saturated. If new wick/heater, make sure you left the wick in the lowest position in a FULL tank of fuel for a MINIMUM of 60 mins.
  1. Carbon build-up on your wick. Perform dry burn/carbon removal(refer to INSTRUCTION MANUAL in TECHNICAL INFORMATION) replace if necessary (WICK VIDEO).
  2. Mechanical mechanism is damaged. Replace Wick Adjuster Assembly.
NOTE: Once raised to the highest position, the wick knob will only allow a very small adjustable range back down. This is intended to help keep a correct minimum flame height and protect against damaging your wick and the possibility of carbon monoxide.
  1. Verify tilt switch is properly positioned and secured. The bottom edge of rectangle must be parallel to the floor.
  2. Loose wire connection or damaged tilt switch (refer to WIRING DIAGRAM in TECHNICAL INFORMATION), replace if necessary.
