To clean dirt from nozzle, blow
compressed air through nozzle front. It may be necessary to
soak nozzle in clean 1-K kerosene to help loosen any
particles.
NOTE:
Use of diesel may require additional maintenance.
Using this heater without proper maintenance or with
contaminated or old fuel may lead to improper combustion
and possible soot production.
