TTACHING AND PRIMING MANTLES

Priming the Mantle(s)

Step 1 ..Hold a flame source to the bottom of the

attached mantle. Allow the mantle to ignite

and burn evenly until only a white ash

remains. It will burn out by itself. Illustration

and it will cause it to turn a gray/white

color.

Priming DO NOT touch the mantle.

replacement. NEVER operate with defective

mantles. A mantle with a hole or other
