Operation
Fueling The Heater:
Paraffin
For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that Kerosene be used.
Paraffin has been refined to virtually eliminate
contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause
a rotten egg odor during the operation of the
heater. Using diesel fuel can cause excess soot
production. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this fuel will
damage your heater’s seals and filter.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white
gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil
compounds in this heater. THESE ARE VOLATILE
FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
- NEVER store Kerosene in the living space.
Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area
outside the living area.
- 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. Paraffin deteriorates over
time. OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT BURN
PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored
in a blue container that is clearly marked
“Kerosene.” Never store Kerosene in a red
container. Red is associated with gasoline.
Ventilation:
- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning. Use heater only in well
ventilated areas.
- Refer to Safety Information on pages 1-2 for
information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
- ALWAYS
provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least 2,800 cm
2
(3 sq. ft) for each 29 kW / Hr. of heater output.
Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being
used.
As an example, a PT-125 SS will require:
- A two car garage door open 16 cm or
- A single car garage open 22 cm or
- Two (2) 82 cm windows open 38.5 cm
