Safety tips, Warning, Risk of explosion – Toyotomi KS-47B User Manual
Page 3: Rlsk of burns or fire
Congratulations; you are ready to begin enjoying the benefits of one of the most advanced kerosene
(paraffin) heaters ever made. TOYOTOMI, the leader in kerosene (paraffin) heater techonlogy, has tested and
refined the KS-47B to assure you of long-term safety and satisfaction. Please study the following
instructions, use and care for your heater carefully, and it will serve you well for many years.
SAFETY TIPS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR HEATER, PLEASE review these safety tips:
RISK OF EXPLOSION
1. Never use any fuel other than clean kerosene (paraffin).
Never use gasoline (petrol). Use of gasoline (petrol) can lead to uncontrollable flames
resulting in a destructive fire. Even kerosene (paraffin) contaminated with small
amounts of gasoline (petrol), or similarly volatile materials, can be hazardous. Never
use for kerosene (paraffin) a can that has previously been used for gasoline (petrol),
paint thinner, or solvents.
2. Never refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot. To do so may cause a
“flash back“ of flame to the fuel container, resulting in injury to yourself and your
property.
3. Never use heater in areas where flammable vapors or gases may be present.
Especially avoid use of heater where gasoline (petrol), naphtha, acetone or other
volatile solvents are in the air, or whose containers are open. Such vapors could be
ignited by the heater, resulting in fire and/or explosion.
4. Never fill heater fuel tank in living space. Fill heater tank outdoors. Never overfill
your heater. Always replace heater tank cap securely after refueling. Spillage of
kerosene (paraffin) produces strong odor which is hard to remove. Spillage on
carpet can be ignited if match or some other ignition source contacts it.
5. Never store or transport kerosene (paraffin) in other than a metal or plastic container
that is (1) acceptable for kerosene (paraffin), (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly marked,
”KEROSENE (PARAFFIN)”. Never store kerosene (paraffin) in the living space. Picking
up a gasoline (petrol) can by mistake when fueling is a major cause of heater fires.
RlSK OF BURNS OR FIRE
1. Observe the heater carefully for fifteen to twenty (15-20) minutes after start-up.
Problems of improper adjustment of wick height or improperly seated heat chamber
should become evident during this warm up period.
NOTE: Carefully follow the instructions for lighting and adjusting the flame.
2. Due to high surface temperatures, keep away from children, furniture and clothing.
