Koehring heaters
were sold under the "Comfort Glow" label, and often the
model numbers were used interchangeably. If you do
not find your exact model number listed below, please
look at the page for Koehring
heaters.

Panasonic made heaters using two-part wicks
#15 and #16 which were sold under an amazing variety
of name brands, including Koehring, Comfort Glow,
Sears, Handy Master, etc. The model numbers
applied to those heaters were confusing and often the
wrong model number applied to a heater, resulting in
a heater being marked as using wick #16 when it fact
it requires wick #15. Not my fault! It is
best to measure the central air pillar around which
the wick fits: If about 3", order wick #16; if
about 3 1/2", order wick #15. If you want to measure the wick
without removing it from the heater, wick #16 is close to 3.60" in
outside diameter, wick #15 is about 4" in outside diameter. See also the model
numbers for Koehring if not
listed below - they did that, too.

Comfort Glow heaters
which require wicks #15 : These
are a two part wick, an upper portion which is
fiberglass and has the top burning surface, and a
lower cotton section to which is attached the wick
raising mechanism. The two-piece wick was
designed so that the lower section could be used over
and over again, so attaching a new top section (#15T)
was a design feature of this wick. To keep the lower
section of the wick in top condition, the heater
should always be stored "dry," and the lower section
should be soaked in 91%+ alcohol once a year or
so. Pure alcohol is available in most hardware
stores, being sold as Shellac Thinner. The alcohol
will absorb any kerosene residue and water, and thus
restore the cotton filaments to the full capillary
action needed to ensure proper "wicking" action to
the upper portion of the wick. The wick must then be
thoroughly dried by evaporation, the wick raising
mechanism lightly oiled, and it is ready to use again
or store dry in a freezer bag.
