Es un manual sobre calentadores de agua por gas.
La frase dice:

Creo que \"calentamiento en seco\" también sería muy adecuado, y hasta más adecuado.

arder hasta secarse


Explanation:


""Dry Burning"" simply means to let the heater run dry of kerosene and extinguish itself. If you can turn the wick up to maximum just before it goes out, better wick cleaning will occur. A few drops of our "Scented Wick Cleaner" directly on top of the wick before dry burning, will help deep clean the wick, also.
