FUELING YOUR HEATER

NOTE : See section 3, page 3 on KEROSENE for instructions on the proper grade of kerosene to use with this heater.
CAUTION : NEVER REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE TANK FROM THIS HEATER WHILE THE HEATER
IS OPERATING OR WHILE THE HEATER IS STILL HOT. EXTINGUISH THE HEATER AND VERIFY
THAT THE HEATER IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE REFUELING THE HEATER. NEVER
REFILL THE CARTRIDGE FUEL TANK WHEN THE HEATER IS OPERATING OR STILL HOT.
NEVER FILL THE HEATER'S CARTRIDGE FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE;
FILL THE CARTRIDGE FUEL TANK OUTDOORS.
Before fueling the heater, take the removable cartridge fuel tank, the kerosene, and the manual siphon
pump outdoors. To use the manual siphon pump, tighten the cap on the top of the siphon, place the
straight tube into the kerosene container, and insert the flexible tube into the opening of the cartridge tank
(see Fig. 5A/5B). By squeezing the bulb of the siphon pump, fuel will be transferred from the kerosene
container into the heater. Carefully watch the fuel gauge on the cartridge tank so that you will know when
the tank is getting full. When you approach the full mark, loosen the cap on top of the siphon pump. This
will stop the flow of kerosene. DO NOT OVERFILL THE CARTRIDGE TANK. Allow the siphon pump to
drain thoroughly before you remove it from the cartridge tank and the kerosene container.
Make sure that you securely replace the fuel tank cap on the cartridge tank and on the kerosene
container. Thoroughly clean up any spilled kerosene.
Insert the cartridge tank back into the kerosene heater with the fuel gauge facing toward the front of the heater.
(If the cartridge tank is not inserted properly into the heater, the door on the cartridge tank will not close.)
NOTE: Refill the cartridge fuel tank before the tank is completely empty (see Fig. 6). DO NOT refill when the
heater is operating or still hot.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST FUELING OF HEATER;
When first using your heater, make sure that you allow a minimum of 60 minutes (carefully check the time)
after filling the tank before you
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER;
The first time you light the heater, it should be done outdoors. This allows the oils, etc. used in manufacturing
the heater to burn off outside, rather than in your home.
