Kerosene Forced Air Heater User’s Manual
Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene (K-1)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly
suggested that K-1 kerosene be used. K-1 kerosene
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.
- CSA certified for use with K-1 kerosene,
no. 1 & no. 2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel,
no. 1 and no. 2 fuel oil.
DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white glass,
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. Kerosene 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 page 1 for information
about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
- ALWAYS
provide a fresh air opening in the heated space
of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each
100,00 Btu / Hr. of heater output. Provide a larger opening
if more heaters are being used.
