Some people manage to screw up even the simplest things including proper wick installation. The shut off lever will put out the wick almost immediately provided the wick is installed correctly. It also acts as a tip over safety shutoff. It you depress the shut off switch and it makes a loud sound it's done its job. The only way it won't do it's job is if some fool installed the wick wrong (too much exposed). DUH!
What a beautiful unit, the radiant heat from these units is an amazing substitute for dry air from home units. Unfortunately, this unit ended up in the wrong hands. I take these heaters and put them to burn beautifully and enjoy them greatly. Worth all the exercise to go to the pump, carry my containers, fill my tanks, dry burn my wicks, remove the tart, lift them and move them around. For me is not an emergency heater, is my night companion. The 10k btu with crystal chimney cause me even a greater pleasure to see it burning. Enjoy your burners friends!
Pro tip- Read the owners manual. Proper way to turn off is to flip that switch, and keep depressed, while turning the knob counter clockwise until it stops. Hope this helps. Always hold knob when you first depress switch. Failure to do so may splash kerosene internally because it is dropping wick into the tank, hence the initial flare up. Been using exact same model for years with no issue. Lucky that you didn’t have a fire......
They work fine. You just turn the knob manually counterclockwise while holding the shutoff lever down. I’ve used the same model for 3 years with no issues.
Good to know this Info These are the 2 brands that are the most available in my area Was looking at a dyna glo two weeks ago but the only thing left on the shelf for kerosene are the 2 you have warrend us about
i got a used one for free..just needs a wick.....was contiplating if the 20 bucks time and trouble will be worth it thanks for the vid this just made my desesion to dump it...
They're pretty cheap. Theoretically, if you want to ensure they're off - kick them. They're supposed to have a tip-over sensor that hides the wick in a sleeve, forcing them off. I would suggest getting used Kero Sun or Toyotomi units off of craigslist for dirt cheap.
The shutoff switch hits the tip over sensor. That’s how those work. So if the switch doesn’t work, kicking it won’t either. Kicking MIGHT help you damage the heater or start a fire, though. At a minimum, it’ll make you look like a fool.
I think you have to have it at full bast when you flip the switch to turn it off (no residual flame that way). It is recommended that you hold the know to slow it down a bit. It may be due to the mounting of the wick that differ from some other units. I have other units with more secure wick mounting (studs) and these units need no careful turning off.
I have a like type heater and it does the same thing. It hangs up and you can't turn the fire down or off. Even holding the drop lever and turning the knob won't help. It's just a poor design.

I see incompetence in action.

@@totallyfrozen OK, I should've said "nudge them." Nevertheless - I would not recommend buying them. They're overpriced thin sheet metal.
Damn thing broken after only one week

Not a bad design. Just an ignorant operator.
