Turn the wick cleaner in a clock-wise direction, gently
cleaning and reshaping the burning surface (FIG. 4). Be
careful not to fray the wick.
The top surface of the properly cleaned wick should be
free from carbon and frayed fabric threads. It should slope
upwards to its inner top edge, which should be fairly even.
Blow off all loose carbon from the wick and burner, and
remove any dirt or carbon, which has fallen into the burner
base.
Reassemble the burner.
When cleaning the burner - take out the burner from the
tank and inspect the tails of the wick. If they are dirty,
unsuitable kerosene has been used and the tank must be
cleaned.
Empty the tank and put the dirty kerosene aside for other
uses.
Rinse the tank twice with clean kerosene and refill with
filtered kerosene.
REPLACING THE WICK
Remove burner from tank.
Remove outer wick tube (see Burner Parts) by turning it
anti-clockwise to unlock (Aladdin 23 E), by unscrewing
the locking nuts on either side (Aladdin 32) and lifting it
off the burner.
Turn the wick up as far as possible. 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.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING WICK AND BURNER
While the flame is burning, carbon forms on the top of the wick,
on the flange of the outer wick tube and on the surface of the
flame spreader. For the best refrigeration results and to prolong
the life of the wick, this carbon must be cleaned off every two
or three days for the first two weeks and at least once a month
thereafter, provided a good grade of kerosene is used. When poor
grade kerosene is used, the burner should be cleaned at least
once a week.
To clean the wick and the burner:
Loosen the lever arm and pull out the tank.
Remove the seal ring, lamp glass and gallery by turning it
anti-clockwise and lift off.
Take out the flame spreader.
Insert the wick cleaner, (supplied with the burner) in the
burner tube and adjust the wick by pressing the cleaner
gently against the wick surface.
