Long Term Storage Of Your Heater - DuraHeat DH 1100 Manual Del Propietário

TESTING THE AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE: At least once a week during the heating season, it is
important to test the safety shut-off device to be sure that it is operating properly. WITH THE HEATER TURNED OFF,
raise the wick using the wick adjuster knob to the fully raised position. Grabbing the protective grille, give the heater a firm
shake. If the automatic safety shut-off device is working properly, you will hear a loud noise as the ratchet is disengaged
and the torsion spring drops the wick into the body of the heater. To verify that the wick has been completely lowered,
turn the wick adjuster knob in a counterclockwise direction. If the automatic safety shut-off device is functioning properly,
the wick will have been completely lowered. If you are able to lower the wick further using the wick adjuster knob, this
means that it is time to perform the "Carbon Removal Dry Burning" procedure described on page 9 again.
