FUELING YOUR HEATER
Never fill the heater fuel tank in the living space: fill the
tank outdoors.
Do not overfill your heater and be sure heater is level.
IMPORTANT: REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER. The
first time you light the heater, it should be done
OUTDOORS. This allows the oils, etc., used in
manufacturing heater to be burned off outside.
TO START HEATER
1.
Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 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 100 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. Turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB” to desired setting (setting
range: 40°-110°F, 9 steps) and push power switch to “ON”
position. Power indicator lamp and room temperature display
will light and heater will start.
If heater does not start, the thermo -stat setting may be too low,
turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB” to higher position to start
heater. If heater still does not start, turn power switch to “OFF”
and then to “ON” position (See Figure 10). If heater still does not
start, see Troubleshooting Chart on page 19.
NOTE: Room Temp. display indicates as following:
- When room temp. is less than 0°F: “Lo”.
- When room temp. is between 0°F and
99°F: Indicates room temperatures.
- When room temp. is more than 99°F: “HI”.
NOTE: The major electrical components of this heater are protected
by a circuit breaker 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.
TO STOP HEATER
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. Turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB” to lowest temperature
setting. 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.
1 min.) is finished, the motor will stop. Do not turn switch to
“OFF” or unplug heater until cooling cycle is finished.
2. Turn switch to “OFF” and unplug power cord.
3. To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature
lower than air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air
temperature around heater matches thermostat setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber.
1. Wait until cooling cycle is finished after stopping heater.
2. Repeat steps under TO START HEATER.
