This is a Diesel (1-K Kerosene) directed-fire forced air heater. It is primarily intended for use for temporary
heating of buildings under construction, alteration or repair. Directed-fired means that all of the combustion
products of the heater enter the heated space. This appliance is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but does
produce small amounts of Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is toxic.
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K Kerosene is used, 1-K Kerosene has been
refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulphur. Which can cause a rotten egg odour during the
operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil-diesel may also be used if K-1 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 accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated space. Use of #1 or #2
fuel oil may result in more periodic maintenance.
