FUELING YOUR HEATER
Never fill the heater fuel tank in the living space: fill the tank
outdoors.
Do not overfill your heater and be sure the heater is level,
IMPORTANT:
REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER.
The first time you light the heater, it should be done
OUTDOORS. This allows the oils, etc., used in
manufacturing heater to be burned off outside.
TO START HEATER
1. Fill fuel tank with fuel.
NOTE : Kerosene is recommended when the
temperature drops below 0˚F(-18˚C) to
prevent ignition delay or failure.
2. Attach fuel cap.
3. Plug power cord into three prong, grounded extension
cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long.
-
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements:
-
6 to 100 feet (1.8 to 30.53 meters) long, use 16
AWG conductor.
-
101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use 14
AWG conductor.
NO THERMOSTAT ON 50
4. Turn thermostat control knob to desired setting and
push power switch to “ON” position. Power lamp will
light and heater will start.
NOTE:
Room Temp. display indicates as following:
-
When room temp. is less than 0˚F: “lo”.
-
When room temp. is between 0˚F and 99˚F:
“Temp. is Displayed”
-
When room temp is greater than 99˚F : “Hi”
If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be
too low. Turn THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB to higher
position to start heater. If heater still does not start,
turn power switch to “OFF” and then to “ON” position
(See Figure 7.1 &7.2). If heater still does not start, see
Troubleshooting on page 18.
NOTE:
The major electrical components of this heater
are protected by a safety fuse mounted to the PCB
board. If your heater fails to start, check this fuse first
and replace as necessary. You should also check your
power source to insure that proper voltage and
frequency are being supplied to the heater.
NOTE:
In cold weather, ignition may be improved by holding
a finger over the end of the relief valve or block fan guard in
half with newspaper etc. until the heater ignites.
TO SHUT DOWN HEATER
Turn switch to “OFF” and unplug power cord.

KEROSENE SHOULD ONLY BE STORED IN A BLUE
CONTAINER THAT IS CLEARLYMARKED
“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/#2
diesel/fuel oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels are acceptable substi-
tutes)
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.
