Kerosene Forced Air Heater User’s Manual

Operation
Fueling The Heater:
Kerosene (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is
strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used.
1-K 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 1-K 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 pages 1-2 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 100,00 Btu / Hr. of heater output. Provide
a larger opening if more heaters are being used.
As an example, a 125T-KFA will require:
- A two car garage door open 6 inches or
- A single car garage open 9 inches, or
- Two (2) 32” windows open 15”
