Repeat the procedure with the other end of the wick in the
opposite opening around the wick tube, FIG. 5.
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 care-
ful 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. 6.
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.
Replace the outer wick tube on the burner, pressing it
down and turning it clockwise to lock in position (Aladdin
23E), tighten the locking nuts (Aladdin 32).
Check that the wick can be turned up and down readily.
To prolong the life of the wick, it should be cleaned every two
or three days for the first two weeks and once a month there-
after, provided a good grade of kerosene is used. When poor
grade kerosene is used, the burner and wick should be cleaned
at least once a week. Only Aladdin wicks can be used in this
burner, see ”Appendix A- Burner Parts”.

CLEANING THE FLUE SYSTEM
Cleaning of the flue at least once every year is recommended.
Poor grade kerosene may cause the burner to smoke, and as
soot will then collect in the flue it should be cleaned immedi-
ately. 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.
After cleaning, ensure that the flue cap and baffle are refit-
ted in position.
NOTE!
The refrigerator will not operate properly if the flue baffle
is not in place.
DEFROSTING
Remove all food from the refrigerator.
Extinguish the flame.
Leave the door and frozen storage compartment door open.
The frost will melt rapidly and run down into a receptacle
at the rear of the refrigerator where it evaporates.
Defrost water in the freezer compartment should be
mopped up with a cloth.
It is advisable to clean the refrigerator in conjunction with
defrosting. Use lukewarm water and a non-perfumed detergent.
Never use scouring powder, steel wool or similar. Before start-
ing the refrigerator again, dry out the frozen storage compart-
ment and refrigeration space.
TURNING OFF
If the refrigerator is to remain out of use:
Extinguish the burner flame.
Empty the cabinet, defrost and clean it thoroughly.
Leave the door ajar.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
Keep the refrigerator level.
Defrost weekly or fortnightly.
Keep the burner clean.
Never use force to turn up the wick mover.
Do not overload the refrigerator so that the air cannot
circulate freely inside the cabinet.
Use only good grade of kerosene-paraffin.
Do not let the fuel tank run dry.
Inspect the flame regularly. Make sure it is blue.
