In order to obtain best results from your BK Saf-e-

fire Blue Flame Heater at all times, keep always in 

mind the following directions:

a) The flame always must be blue. Avoid yellow 

streaks or a yellow flame throughout.

b) Claen wick with the BK scraper only at least 

once a fortnight.

c) Do not allow container to burn dry. Fill regularly.

d) Do not operate stove with broken or cracked 

glass cylinder. Obtain new one.

e) Never use any other fuel except kerosene, 

commonly called paraffin or burning oil. The BK 

Saf-e-fire has been tested and approved on ESSO 

BLUE paraffin. The fuel we recommended for best 

results.

f) The room where the heater is used must have a 

normal supply of fresh air. Each paraffin burning 

appliance burns considerable quantities of air to 

each gallon of paraffin.

g) The BK Saf-e-fire Blue Flame Heater can be 

used effectively for cooking. The full heat is 

directed straight to the bottom of any vessel placed 

on top.

h) Always keep the heater clean.

i) For servicing use BK spare parts only.
