[. . . ] Clean off any kerosene on the top of the tank. If kerosene overflows, the tank should be removed from the refrigerator and wiped clean. Do not let the tank run dry while the refrigerator is in use because refrigeration will be interrupted and a portion of the wick will be burned off, reducing the life of the wick. Always use best quality burning kerosene (Paraffin) and see that it is kept clean, dry and unadulterated. [. . . ] Allow the flame to travel round the wick, and replace the gallery complete with lamp glass and seal ring. Turn the gallery clockwise until locked securely in position. Should the flame be extinguished, relight, following the above procedure. Push the tank into the tank holder underneath the cabinet and at the rear of the refrigerator. Slide the tank carefully forwards against the guide pin. Carefully lift the tank by means of the lever arm and check that the guide pin enter the hole in the bracket on the left side of the burner. 2). Replacing the Wick Remove burner from tank. Remove outer wick tube (see Burner Parts) by turning it anti-clockwise to unlock, and lifting it off the burner. Pull the wick and the wick carrier out from the top of the burner. Disengage the wick from the wick carrier. A new wick should be free from moister (water). Before inserting the new wick, make sure that the flame spreader is in position in the burner tube. New wicks have adhesive papers at the tail ends to afford ease of replacement, and these should first be straightened out. Put one of the papers through the opening around the wick tube, and pull in the paper until the fabric end of the wick is through the opening. Repeat the procedure with the other end of the wick in the opposite opening around the wick tube (FIG. When both wick tails are through the respective openings, pull the wick through the burner until about 1" (25 mm) of the tails protrudes below the bottom of the burner. Be careful not to fray the top of the wick during replacement. Install the wick carrier on the wick, ensuring that the rack of the wick carrier is on the same side as the wick turner (FIG. Ease the wick and wick carrier downwards by pulling gently on the bottom ends of the wick, and when the rack of the wick carrier enters the annular opening, guide it against the cog wheel on the wick turner. Depress the wick carrier rack over the cog wheel of the wick turner and move the wick down as far as it will go. Be sure that the inside reinforcement tape of the wick slips over the burner tube. If the wick gets stuck in the burner, do not force the wick turner as this may damage the wick carrier. [. . . ] To clean the flue remove the tank and burner, lift off the flue cap complete with wire and flue baffle, and place a sheet of paper underneath the flue tube to catch the soot. Clean the flue with the brush supplied with the refrigerator and, after cleaning, ensure that the flue cap and baffle are refitted in position. NOTE: The refrigerator will not operate properly if the flue baffle is not in place. d) e) f) 4. 6. 7. 5 Refrigerator too cold 1. [. . . ]
