Installation Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to replace the wick in your kerosene heater. Always ensure the heater is turned off and completely cool before beginning any maintenance or installation.

Wick Replacement & Installation Video Guide

1. Prepare the Heater: Ensure the kerosene heater is turned off and completely cool before beginning the installation. Disconnect it from any power source if applicable.
2. Remove the Wick Housing: Carefully detach the wick housing according to your heater's manufacturer's instructions. This usually involves unscrewing or unlatching components.
3. Remove the Old Wick: Gently pull out the old wick from the burner assembly. Dispose of the old wick properly.
4. Clean up Residue: Use a towel or brush to wipe away any residue left on the burner or surrounding areas. Ensure the area is clean before installing the new wick.
5. Insert the New Wick: Place the new Kero World 32225 replacement wick into the burner, ensuring it fits snugly and evenly. The wick should be properly seated.
6. Adjust the Wick Height: Use the adjustment knob on your heater to set the wick height to the recommended level for optimal flame. Refer to your heater's manual for specific height recommendations.
7. Reassemble the Heater: Securely reattach the wick housing and any other components that were removed. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned and fastened.
8. Test the Heater: Fill the fuel tank with kerosene, light the heater, and observe the flame for proper operation. Allow the wick to saturate with fuel for at least 30 minutes before lighting for the first time.

Operating Your Kerosene Heater

After successful wick installation, follow your heater's specific operating instructions. Generally, ensure proper ventilation, use only 1-K kerosene, and monitor the flame for consistent and clean burning. Adjust the wick height as needed to maintain an optimal flame, typically a blue flame with yellow tips.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your kerosene heater and wick. Beyond wick replacement, periodically inspect the burner for any carbon buildup and clean as necessary. Keep the fuel tank clean and free of debris. Store kerosene in a cool, dry place in an approved container.

Troubleshooting

• Uneven Flame or Poor Heating: This often indicates a worn-out wick or carbon buildup. Replace the wick following the installation steps, or clean the burner assembly.
• Difficulty Lighting: Ensure the wick is properly saturated with kerosene. If the igniter is faulty, it may need replacement.
• Excessive Smoke or Odor: This can be caused by using incorrect fuel (not 1-K kerosene), an improperly adjusted wick, or a dirty burner. Adjust the wick height, ensure proper fuel, and clean the heater.
• Wick Not Moving Up/Down: Check for obstructions or damage to the wick adjustment mechanism. Ensure the wick is installed correctly and not jammed.
