Congratulations; you are ready to begin enjoying the benefits of one of the most advanced kerosene
heaters ever made. TOYOTOMI, the leader in kerosene heater techonlogy, has tested and refined the KS-27A
to assure you of long-term safety and satisfaction. Please study the following instructions, use and care for
your heater carefully, and it will serve you well for many years.
SAFETY TIPS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR HEATER, PLEASE review these safety tips:
RISK OF EXPLOSION
1. Never use any fuel other than water-clear kerosene.
Never use gasoline. Use of gasoline can lead to uncontrollable flames resulting in
destructive fire. Even kerosene contaminated with small amounts of gasoline, or
similarly volatile materials, can be hazardous. Never use a can for kerosene that has
previously been used for gasoline, paint thinner, or solvents.
2. Never refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot. To do so may
cause a “flash back“ of flame to the fuel container, resulting in injury to yourself
and your property.
3. Never use heater in areas where flammable vapors or gases may be present.
Especially avoid use of heater where gasoline, naphtha, acetone or other volatile
solvents are in the air, or whose containers are open. Such vapors could be ignited
by the heater, resulting in fire and/or explosion.
4. Never fill heater fuel tank in living space. Fill heater tank outdoors. Never overfill
your heater. Always replace heater tank cap securely after refueling. Spillage of
kerosene produces strong odor which is hard to remove. Spillage on carpet can be
ignited if match or some other ignition source contacts it.
5. Never store or transport kerosene in other than a metal or plastic container that is (1)
acceptable for kerosene, (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly marked, ”KEROSENE”.
Never store kerosene in the living space. Picking up a gasoline can by mistake when
fueling is a major cause of heater fires.
RlSK OF BURNS OR FIRE
1. Observe the heater carefully for 15-20 minutes after start-up. Problems of improper
adjustment of wick height or improperly seated heat chamber should become
evident during this warm up period.
NOTE: Carefully follow the instructions for lighting and adjusting the flame.
2. Due to high surface temperatures, keep away from children, furniture and clothing.
