3. Do not operate heater without protective guards completely attached.
4. Do not use heater to heat or boil water or as a cooking appliance. Do not place
cooking utensils, tea kettles or any other object on top of heater while in operation.
5. To avoid possible burns or fire, do not move, refuel or attempt to service your
heater while it is burning or still hot. If the heater is dropped while it is burning, fuel
spillage and flames outside the heater may occur.
6. Do not operate heater less than 90cm (3 feet) from walls, draperies, clothing, or
furniture. The operation of any heating appliance too close to such materials could
cause them to ignite, possibly resulting in a serious fire.
7. To avoid unstable burning, do not operate your heater in areas exposed to strong
drafts. Do not operate heater in high-traffic areas such as doorways or hallways
where it may be touched, jarred or tipped accidentally.
8. Do not operate heater in direct sunlight to avoid overheating, which may cause
abnormal flame behaivor. Do not allow room temperature to go above 30˚C. lf the
room temperature exceeds 30˚C the flame may increase, thereby producing smoke.
9. Before going out, or at bedtime, turn the heater off, making sure the wick is in its
lowest position (see Extinguishing the Flame on page 9) and flame is completely
extinguished.
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTlON
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 (5.7m
3
)
of air space is provided for each 1000 Btu per hour of heater rating (considering the
maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept open or
a window to the outside should be opened at least 25.4mm 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.”
