Rodney, I meant to say "paraffin" because what we call kerosene in the States is known as paraffin in Great Britain, in case that's the term used in NZ.
I've used mineral spirits, but only with extreme caution, as I'm not sure how it would react with the finish of the machine. Kerosene is safer (and stinkier).
