How do you turn off a kerosene heater?

Steph Z asked:


I have a new kerosene heater and haven’t used one before. The directions aren’t very clear. I’m having problems with knowing if the wick height is too high or too low. But what’s worse, is that I can’t seem to get it to turn off. There is a manual off switch that the instructions say to hold down while slowly turning the wick height adjustment counter clockwise until it’s off…but when I do so there remains a very low blue flame burning. I tried to just blow if out, but that wouldn’t work either. Any ideas?

My home came with kerosene heater, does it burn better than propane heater and does it last longer?
