OPERATION
Fueling the Heater

DANGER: Never refuel this heater while it is hot or
operating. Fire or explosion could result.

WARNING: Do not use gasoline or crankcase drainings.

CAUTION: Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Always fill the
tank outdoors. Be sure that the heater is on level ground
when fueling, and never overfill the tank.
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

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to
death.
• 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.

3. Connect the heater to a three prong (grounded)
power source. You must use a three prong (grounded)
extension cord that is at least 6 feet long and is a
minimum of 14 AWG rating.
4. Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature
setting. The thermostat set range is from 40 ºF to 110 ºF.
5. Move power switch to "On" position. The power
indicator light and room temperature display will
illuminate and heater will ignite.
nOTE: If the heater does not ignite, move the switch to the
"Off" position, check steps 1-3 above, and then move the
switch to the "On" position.
nOTE: If the heater does not ignite, the thermostat may be
set too low. Turn the control knob to a higher setting until
the heater ignites. If the heater does not ignite; move switch
to "Off" position, check steps 1-3 above and then move
switch to "On" position.
Stopping / Restarting the Heater
• To stop the heater, move the power switch to the "Off"
position and unplug the power cord.
• To restart the heater, wait 10 seconds and follow the
ignition steps.
Long Term Storage
Use an approved siphon to drain fuel through the fuel cap
opening.
iMPORTAnT: Never store leftover kerosene between
seasons. Using old fuel can damage the heater.
MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Never service the heater while it is hot
or plugged in.
We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:
Fuel / Fuel Tank
Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed.
DO NOT flush with water; use fresh K-1 kerosene only.
Air Filters (Fig. A)
The air intake filter should be replaced or washed with
soap and water and dried thoroughly every 500 hours of
operation or less depending on conditions. The output and
lint filters should be replaced every 500 hours of operation
or less depending on conditions.
