1. Introduction
The heater is an easy to use vented petroleum heater. It
provides considerable quantities of heat, automatically
regulates the room temperature, uses very little fuel and
electricity and has options for automatic or manual
operation.
This section provides all the information required for the
operation of the Vented heating system. All specified
operating procedures must be carried out in the order in
which they are described.

FUEL GUIDE
The FF-70AQ is designed for use with Kerosene. Use of low-quality fuel will cause burner performance to drop,
leading to abnormal combustion and reduced heater life.
Purchase only Kerosene, in non-red cans reserved exclusively for fuel and marked accordingly with the word
“KEROSENE”. Always store your fuel in a separate area from where you store gasoline for your power equipment to
avoid accidental use of gasoline in your heater.
What to Buy . . .
ALWAYS:
Clean and high-quality Kerosene.
ALWAYS:
Fuel free of contaminants, water or cloudiness.
NEVER:
Gasoline, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives.
NEVER:
Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.
How to Use It . . . (when optional removable fuel tank is used)
ALWAYS:
Fill heater away from living quarters when heater is cool; use
siphon.
ALWAYS:
Watch fuel gauge to avoid overfilling heater.
How to Store It . . .
ALWAYS:
Store in a clean container, clearly marked KEROSENE.
ALWAYS:
Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme temperature
changes.
NEVER:
In a glass container, or one that has been used for other fuels.
NEVER:
For longer than six months. Begin each heating season with fresh
fuel; discard at the end of season.
NEVER:
In the living space.
Why It is Important . . .
Pure, clean fuel is essential for safe and efficient heater operation. Poor quality or
contaminated fuel can cause:
●
Excess tar deposits on burner and flue pipe
●
Incomplete combustion
●
Reduced heater life
Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline can produce uncontrol-
lable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.
