NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
4. KEROSENE (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has
been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulpher. Which can cause a rotten egg odor during
the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene, and care should be taken to
provide more fresh air ventilation to accomodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated
space.
KEROSENE SHOULD ONLY BE STORED IN A BLUE CONTAINER THAT IS CLEARLY
MARKED “KEROSENE”. NEVER STORE KEROSENE IN A RED CONTAINER.
Red containers are associated with gasoline.
NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated place outside the
living area.
NEVER use any fuel other than 1-K kerosene (#1 fuel oil is an acceptable substitute.)
NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil
compounds in this heater. These are volatile fuels that can cause an explosion or uncontrolled flames.
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.
