VENTIlATION
STARING THE HEATER
Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater only in well ventilated areas.
Provide a fresh air opening of at least 3 square feet. (2,800 sq. cm.) for
each 00,000 BTU/Hr. rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heaters are
being used.
1. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. fuel oil.
2. Attach fuel cap.
3. Plug power cord into three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension
cord must be at least six feet long.
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements:
• 6 to 10 feet long, use 14 AWG conductor.
• 101 to 200 feet long, use 12 AWG conductor.
• 201 to 300 feet long, use 10 AWG conductor.
• 301 to 400 feet long, use 8 AWG conductor.
• 401 to 500 feet long, use 6 AWG conductor.
4. Push “OPERATION BUTTON”. Power indicator lamp and room
temperature display will light and heater will start. Push the up and
down arrow keys on the control panel to adjust the thermostat
settings. If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too
low. Push “TEMP CONTROL UP ARROW” to higher setting to start
heater. If heater still does not start, see Troubleshooting Chart.

NOTE: The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a circuit
breaker (fuse) mounted to the power switch. If your heater fails to start, check
this first and replace as necessary. You should also check your power source to
insure that proper voltage and frequency are being supplied to the heater.
NOTE: When using diesel fuel in cold ambient temperatures (below 35° F) fuel additives will be required to prevent the diesel
fuel from “jelling”. Follow the mixing instructions provided by the diesel additive supplier for the correct additive/fuel ratio.

Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber. Damage to heater
can occur if combustion chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is complete.
1.
Push “OPERATION BUTTON”, This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during
the cooling cycle. This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle (approx. 2
minutes) is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug heater until cooling cycle is finished.
2. Disconnect heater from power source.
