1.WARNING:
FAILURE TO INSTALL, MAINTAIN, AND/OR
OPERATE THIS KEROSENE HEATER ACCORD-
ING TO MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS MAY
RESULT IN CONDITIONS WHICH CAN PRODUCE
BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT
Instructions appearing in this manual are not meant
to cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood that common
sense, caution, and carefulness are factors which
cannot be built into this heater. These factors must
be supplied by the person(s) installing maintaining,
or operating the kerosene heater.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service
agent, or the manufacturer on any problems or
conditions you do not understand.
2.WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION
* NEVER use any fuel other than clear or red dyed
No. 1-K kerosene. NEVER use fuel such as
gasoline, benzene, paint thinners or other oil
compounds in this heater.
* NEVER refill heater fuel tank when heater is
operating or still hot.
* NEVER use heater in areas where flammable
vapors or gases may be present.
* NEVER fill heater fuel tank in living space; fill tank
outdoors.
* NEVER store nor transport kerosene in other than
a metal or plastic container that is (1) acceptable
for kerosene, (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly
marked
“
Kerosene.
”
NEVER store kerosene in the
living space; kerosene should be stored in a well
ventilated place outside the living area.
* The unit is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.
Due to high surface temperatures, keep children,
clothing, furniture, and other combustible objects
at least 36
″
away from top and front area.
* RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION
USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. People with breathing problems should
consult a physician before using the heater.
In a house of typical construction, that is, one that
is not of unusually tight construction due to heavy
insulation and tight seals against air infiltration, an
adequate supply of air for combustion and
ventilation is provided through infiltration;
however, if the heater is used in a small room
where less than 200 cubic feet (5.7 m
3
) of air
space is provided for each 1,000 BTU per hour of
heater rating (considering the maximum burner
adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s)
should be kept open or the window to the outside
should be opened at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) to
guard against potential buildup of indoor air
pollution. Do NOT use the heater in a bathroom
or any other small room with the door closed.
* NEVER use heater to heat or boil water nor use as
a cooking appliance.
3.WARNING: RISK OF FIRE
NEVER use gasoline in this heater.
4.NEVER leave heater operating if you intend to leave
for any period of time. Always make sure to turn
heater off and inspect to insure that it is completely
extinguished prior to going to bed.
5.NEVER Ieave heater unattended. NEVER use as a
source of heat for drying objects.
6.NEVER place objects on the top plate.
7.If poor quality kerosene is used, so much carbon will
be accumulated on the upper part of the wick that it
may not move down, a strong odor will be
generated and shorter wick life will result; therefore,
careful attention should be paid to the kerosene
quality. When lowering the wick, make certain fire is
out. (For details, see Extinguishing on page 6.)
8.Adjustment of room temperature, when the room
becomes too hot, should be carried out by
ventilation such as opening a window, but never by
means of the wick adjuster knob. If heat is reduced
excessively by means of the wick adjuster knob, it
will cause imperfect combustion, thereby resulting in
accumulation of carbon, and odor will be generated.
9.CAUTION: RISK OF BURNS
NEVER operate the heater without the guard or
grille completely attached.
10.Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries.
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, or Rechargeable
Batteries.
