VENTILATION
STARING THE HEATER
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.
1. Fill the tank with kerosene until fuel gauge points to “F”.
2. Be sure fuel cap is secure.
3. Plug power cord into three prong, grounded extension cord and plug
extension cord into three prong 120V grounded outlet. The extension
cord should be at least six feet long.
Extension cord wire size requirements are as follows:
• 6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters), use 18 AWG wire.
• 11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.4 meters), use 16 AWG wire.
• 101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters), use 14 AWG wire.
4. Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature setting
(70/125/175 only). The setting range is from 40° F to 110° F. Push
the Power switch to the “ON” position (See figure 9). The power indi-
cator lamp and room temperature display (125/175 only) will light and
the heater will start.
5. If the heater does not fire, the thermostat may be set too low. Turn the
Control Knob to a higher setting until heater fires. If the heater still
does not start, push Power Switch to “OFF”, then back to “ON”. If
heater still does not fire, see Troubleshooting Guide on Page 15.
WARNING
• Never refuel this heater while it is hot or operating. Fire or explosion
could result.
NOTICE
The room temperature display (125/175 only) will indicate the following.
• When temperature is less than 0° F, display says “LO”.
• When temperature is above 99° F, display says “HI”.
• Between 0° and 99° F display shows actual temperature.
