IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WICKS FOR KERO-SUN HEATERS

Models Omni 105, 85, and Rad 100

A. MODEL LETTER DESIGNATION: This is the last letter of the lot number, not the serial number.  The Serial number is irrelevant. .  "P09105N" for example, indicates an Omni 105 model "N".  It is the last letter which indicates the model, even if that letter is followed by a number. "P09105N1" would be a model N, series 1, but it is still a model "N".    (This model number sequence applies to virtually all KeroSun heaters.)

B. Pin Wicks 2A and 5C fit newer heaters that have wick drop type shut-off mechanisms. The wick is automatically lowered by pushing a button to the left of the knob (2A) or turning a little knob to the left of the wick knob (5C). All these heaters have a feature called a "wick life extender."

C. Wicks 1, 1D, and 5 do not have pins. The wick does NOT automatically drop. These heaters have SLIDE shut off assemblies that smother the flame by covering the wick with a metal cover. Omni heaters have a handle on the right side for this purpose. Radiant heaters have a slide handle on the left.   (If you accidentally take apart the iris slide shutoff assembly unit, for reassembly instructions click here.)

D. Wicks 1B, 5B have pins. The shut of mechanisms are the same as described in "C" above. These heaters were made before 1979.
