ALADDIN BLUE FLAME HEATER

Before using the heater you should remove all
cardboard packing pieces, etc. which have beenused to protect the heater during transit. Releasespring clip (H.208) so that the whole of the top of
the heater can be lowered to expose the bumer.
Remove the packing. Close the top of the heaterand make sure that the spring clip engages fully
with the catch before carrying.
Unscrew filler cap (H.216) which will be found on
the top of the tank (H.213) exactly opposite thewick winder 'W' and fill the tank, which will hold
one gallon (4.5 litres), with best quality kerosine(paraffin). We recommend ALADDIN PINKPARAFFIN (available in U.K. and Eire). Don't
use vaporising oil or power kerosine. NEVER
USE motor fuel (Gasolene, Benzine, Essence,etc.) or other dangerous fuel s. Replace filler capand wipe the top of the tank clean. When lighting
for the first time, or when a new wick (H.210) has
been fitted, leave the heater unlit for an hour sothat the wick can become thoroughly soaked.
This heater will run for at least 16 hours on afilling. Do not bum the heater dry. The oilgauge (H.21 7) will show when the tank is approximately (a) full , (b) ~ full , (c) t full, (d) tfull, (e) empty (see fig. 2).

Release spring clip and lower top of heater.
Make sure flame spreader (H.212) is in position
the correct way up and pushed fully home. Turnwick winder 'W' clockwise until about l inch ofwick is visible above the burner basket flange 'A'and light wick. Close top of heater and make ~urethat the spring clip is properly fastened. Theflame can now be adjusted, within the limits ofthe burner, to give the heat required.
At no time should force be used on the wickwinder. If difficulty is experienced in raising thewick the burner basket (H.209) should be removed
and the trouble corrected. (See " To fit newwick"). The colour of the flame will tell you when
it is set within the safe
limits of the burner andit should ALWAYS be•I•

COMPLETELY BLUE as in fig. 4(slightly reddish glow above flame proper is normal and intermittent red flecks
may appear in dusty atmosphere). If it
is too low it will be wholly or partly
yellow as in fig. 5. If it is too high distinct yellow spikes will develop as in fig.
6. Operating the burner within theselimits is of the utmost importance since,
although there is no immediate danger,
the presence of yellow flame means thatthe heater is not being used correctly andsmoking or overheating of the burner
may result. When using the heater for
the first time turn the wick right up andright down a few times and compare theflame with the illustrations until you can
immediately recognise a good or badflame. If maximum heat is required itwill be found convenient to turn the
wick up until the yellow spikes appear
and then turn it down again until acompletely blue flame is obtained. Oncethe heater has been set with a completely
blue flame it can be left with absoluteconfidence without any attention whatever until refilling is required, provided
that reasonable ventilation is allowed.
If it is impossible to obtain a completely
blue flame either (a) the wick needs
cleaning or replacing or (b) some part ofthe burner has been left off or incorrectly
replaced or (c) some part of the burner isdamaged or (d) inferior or dirty oil has
been used.

Turn wick down, lower top of heater and blow
out. Turn wick up again and make sure it is out.

IITO CLEAN
WICK(Fig. 7)5I\~

The frequency of wick cleaning will vary with thequality of oil and the height of flame used.
Cleaning is necessary whenever the flame deteriorates and at least once a week when theheater is used continuously. Lower top of heaterand remove flame spreader. Turn wick down
below the burner basket flange. Place the wickcleaner (H.211) on the burner in place of the flame
spreader where it will rest on the burner basket
flange. With one hand turn the wick cleaner in aclockwise direction KEEPING IT PRESSEDDOWN ON TO THE BURNER BASKET
FLANGE and with the other hand turn the wickup slowly. As soon as the wick touches thecleaner, black carbon will appear through thegaps. ~ontinue turning the cleaner and turnin g
the wick up GENTLY until no more carbon
comes through the gaps and, provided the cleaner
has been kept pressed on to the burner basket
flange, a perfectly cleaned and shaped wick willresult. Tum wick down and remove cleaner. Takeout burner basket by turning anti-clockwise andlifting. Clean burner basket with a cloth, particularly the flange at the top. When replacing makesure it is correctly in position. Always clean wickwith the wick cleaner provided NEYER USE
SCISSORS, RAZOR BLADES, ETC.

•.'. Having cleaned the wick, check that there is no· fluff or dirt in the burner basket, the flame
spreader, or in the gap at the bottom of thechimney. Clean these parts when necessary ; if
the holes become blocked the burner may not
function properly. As with all oil burners it must
be kept CLEAN. The flame spreader and burnerbasket are rustproof and may be washed in warm
soapy water, both being removed for this purpose. Neither the wick nor the tank must bewashed with water; the tank may be rinsed out
occasionally with CLEAN kerosine (paraffin).
On no account should any parts of the heater bestood on a hot stove to dry.

This is only necessary if the wick has become very
uneven due to partial starvation resulting froma badly fitted wick (see "To fit new wick") or
incorrect or infrequent wick cleaning. Emptytank as far as possible. Lower top of heater andadjust wick so that the LOWEST part of theburning edge is level with the burner basket
flange. Light the wick, close the top of the heaterand allow it to bum dry. Do not blow it out.
The wick must now be reshaped exactly as incleaning. After tllis operation the tank must be
filled and the wick allowed to soak for an hour
before lighting. An unpleasant smell may be
given off during re-charring.

When the wick eannot be raised any further
WITHOUT USING FORCE the wick needs
replacing. The wick is not intended to burndown to the yellow band which is used to maintainthe shape of the wick only. If force is exerted
on the wick winder it is liable to damage themechanism.
To avoid handling a wick fully soaked withkerosine (paraffin) it is better, though not essential, to allow the heater to burn dry, but as thewick itself will bum it is not advisable to leave
the heater in a room where this odour would be
unpleasant. By allowing the heater to burn dry
on normal flame the wick will be damaged, butsince in this case it is to be thrown away it will
not matter.
Lower top of heater and remove flame spreader
and burner basket. Raise the wick to its fullest extent. Detach the two wick carrier arms 'C', whichf,l..

will nQW be visible, from the brass studs on thewick by springing them outwards and then pulling
one towards you and pushing the other awayfrom you and remove old wick. Replace theflame spreader. This will avoid the yellow tapeon the inside of the wick catching on the top of
the wick tube. Fit the new wick over the inner
wick tube so that when lowered the brass studs'B' will engage with the wick carrier arms.
Handling the wick well down to avoid damaging
the charred top surface, ease gently down until
the brass studs are level with the wick carrierarms. Make sure that both tails reach thebottom of the tank; this necessitates pushing oneof the tails through the stirrup-like carrier arms.
Failure to do so will cause that side of the wick
to be starved resulting in a poor flame and very
uneven burning of the wick. Engage the wick
carrier arms with the brass studs 'B' on the wickand replace the burner basket. Allow the wick tosoak for an hour before lighting.
Remove the top cover (H.201) by turning anticlockwise and lifting.

I'.\This heater is constructed with a "floating"gallery (H.219) and chimney assembly whichallows free movement in the frame. This movement must not be mistaken for a defect and noattempt should be made to secure the gallery orto interfere with its free movement in any way.

FORCOOKING

IMPORTANTNOTEREMEMBER THESE
VITAL POINTS ..•..
