Automatic Ignition System - Dyna-Glo RMC-55R7 El Manual Del Propietario

AUTOMATIC IGNITION SYSTEM

For safety and convenience, this heater features an automatic ignition system.
2 "D" cell batteries, included with the heater, provide the power for the igniter which lights the wick once it
has been raised to its maximum height.
When the heater is fueled for the first time, allow a minimum of 60 minutes after filling the heater for the
wick to absorb kerosene before you attempt to light the heater. Also, the first time you light the heater, it
should be done outdoors to allow the oils, etc, used in manufacturing the heater to burn off outside, rather
than in your home.
To use the automatic Ignition system:
- Make sure the batteries have been installed properly.
- Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until the wick has been raised to its maximum height.
- Push the ignition button to bring the glowing igniter into contact with the wick. This will cause
ignition to occur.
- As soon as you see that the wick has been lit, release the ignition button. This will automatically
lower the burn chamber back down over the wick.
- Rotate the burner knob from side to side a few times to make sure that the burner is positioned
properly on the wick adjuster.
- Then begin following the steps outlined in "Adjusting the wick" (page. 7)
IGNITION VIA MATCH
If you encounter a problem with the ignition mechanism, or if you have
dead batteries, it is possible to light the heater with a match (Fig. 7).
The procedure is as follows:
- Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until the wick
has been raised to its maximum height.
- Lift the burn chamber by using the burner knob.
- Touch a lighted match to the exposed top edge of the wick.
- Once you see that the wick has been lit, lower the burn
chamber back down over the wick.
- Rotate the burner knob from side to side a few times to make sure that the burner is positioned
properly on the wick adjuster.
- Then begin following the steps outlined in "Adjusting the wick" (page. 7)
CAUTION : Make sure that you do not leave the match, or any portion of it (match head, etc.) in the burner
area. Debris left from the match can cause an uneven alignment of the burner and may
result in smoke, incomplete combustion, odor, or fire.
NOTE : Once you have extinguished the heater, wait at least 10 minutes before reigniting the wick.
Failure to do this will result in a very strong odor and / or smoke being produced.
NOTE : Do not use excessive force when pushing the ignition button. This can cause the igniter to catch
the wick and may prevent ignition from occurring. Pushing too lightly on the Ignition button can
prevent ignition from occurring by keeping the igniter too far from the wick. As Fig. 10 (Page 9)
shows, the optimal distance between the igniter and the wick is 1/64- -1/32 inch (0.5 to 1mm).
If it is difficult to ignite the heater, the filament on the igniter might be bent, broken or misshaped.
