KEROSENE (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kero sene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate contami nants, such as sulfur, 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 accommodate any added contaminants that may be
added to the heated space.
Using diesel fuel can cause excess
soot production
. DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved
above.
NOTE:
Kerosene should only be stored in a blue container that is
clearly marked “kerosene”. Never store kerosene in a red contain-
er. Red containers are associated with gasoline.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be
stored in a well ventilated area outside the living
area.
- 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 A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION).
- 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.
- Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a suitable substitute.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Fuel System:
This heater is equipped with a fuel pump that
forces fuel through the fuel line connected to the fuel intake, and
then through a nozzle in the burner head. This fuel is then
sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
Quick-Fire Ignition:
The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a
specially designed spark plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and
air mixture.
Air System:
The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air
into and around the combustion chamber. Here, the air is heated
and then forced out the front of the heater.
Temperature Limit Control:
This heater is equipped with a
Tempera ture Limit Control designed to turn the heater off should
the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device acti-
vates and turns your heater off, it may require service.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will
be able to start your heater.
Electrical System Protection:
This heater’s electrical system
is protected by a fuse that protects it and other electrical compo-
nents from damage. Fuse is located inside of an in-line “FUSE
BARREL”. If your heater fails to operate, check this fuse first and
replace as needed.
Flame Sensor:
Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn
chamber during normal operation. It will cause the heater to shut
off should the burner flame extinguish.
FUELING THE HEATER
It is always a good idea to fire the heater outdoors for the first
time. This will allow any oils used in the manufacturing process to
be burned off in a safe environment. This initial burn should last
at least 10 minutes.
VENTILATION
Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater
only in well ventilated areas.
Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at
least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,000 BTU/Hr.
of heater output. Provide a larger opening if more heaters are
being used.
TO START HEATER
1. Fill fuel tank with 1-K kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.
2. Attach fuel cap and be sure it is secure.
3. Plug power cord into three prong, grounded extension cord
and plug extension cord into three prong 120V grounded out-
let. The extension cord should be at least six feet long.
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements:
•
6 to 10 feet long, use 14 AWG conductor.
•
101 to 200 feet long, use 12 AWG conductor.
•
201 to 300 feet long, use 10 AWG conductor.
•
301 to 400 feet long, use 8 AWG conductor.
•
401 to 500 feet long, use 6 AWG conductor.
4. Push “OPERATION BUTTON”. Power indicator lamp and room
temperature display will light and heater will start. Push the up
and down arrow keys on the control panel to adjust the
thermostat setting.
