Replacing the wick in ANY kerosene heater is explained, in detail, and usually with illustrations, in the instruction sheet provided with the replacement wick. I have a Corona 22-DK and purchased a new wick from Ace Hardware (American Wick Company) product I'm pretty sure. The instructions gave me all the help I needed. Important additional information: 1. Burn ONLY 1K kerosene - A.K.A. Clear or Low Sodium Kerosene, the red stuff will ruin your wick quickly. 2. Be sure to keep 10 square inches of window venting the room with the heater, very important! 3. It is recommended to run your heater dry every once in a while, allegedly to maintain wick health; I don't do this and have not had problems. 4. When disassembling your tank, use your digital camera (phone) to take pictures as you go, reassembly will be MUCH easier if you do. Some parts can go back in more than one way, especially the wick riser mechanism, you'll need to see the picture you took to get it back the same way so that it works right. I had to disassemble mine a second time to fix this part because, although I did take the picture, I failed to look at it during reassembly. I thought I knew how it went back in but when I had it all back together the wick would not rise up high enough to light it.
