Operation
Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene
For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that Kerosene be used.
Kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate
contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause
a rotten egg odor during the operation of the
heater. Using diesel fuel can cause excess soot
production. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this fuel will
damage your heater’s seals and filter.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white
glass, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil
compounds in this heater. THESE ARE VOLATILE
FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
- NEVER store Kerosene in the living space.
Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area
outside the living area.
- NEVER store Kerosene in direct sunlight or near a
source of heat.
- NEVER use Kerosene that has been stored from
one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates
over time. OLD Kerosene WILL NOT BURN
PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored
in a blue container that is clearly marked
“Kerosene.” Never store Kerosene in a red
container. Red is associated with gasoline.
Ventilation:
- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning. Use heater only in well
ventilated areas.
- Refer to Safety Information on pages 1-2 for
information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
- ALWAYS provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least 2,800 square centimeters
(3 sq. ft) for each 100,00 Btu / Hr. of heater output.
Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being
used.
