Kerosene Forced Air Heater User’s Manual

Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene (K-1)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that K-1 kerosene be used,
especially in temperatures lower than 26°F
(-3°C). K-1 kerosene has been refined to virtually
eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can
cause a rotten egg odor during the operation of
the heater. Using diesel fuel can cause excess
soot production. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this fuel
will damage your heater’s seals and filter.
- CSA certified for use with K-1 kerosene, no. 1 &
no. 2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel, no. 1 and no. 2 fuel
oil.
DO NOT use any fuel that is not approved above.
- NEVER use fuel such as, benzene, alcohol, white
glass, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil
compounds in this heater. THESE ARE VOLATILE
FUELS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene
should be stored in a well ventilated area outside
the living area.
- NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a
source of heat.
- NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one
season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time.
OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN
THIS HEATER.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue
container that is clearly marked “Kerosene.” Never
store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated
with gasoline.
Ventilation:
- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning. Use heater only in well ventilated
areas.
- Refer to Safety Information on page 3 for
information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
- 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. (29 kW) of heater output.
Provide a larger opening if more heaters are being
used.
