CAUTIONS
- SAFETY GUIDE -
WARNING!! RISK OF EXPLOSION / RISK OF FIRE
! NEVER use any fuel other than water-clear 1-K
kerosene or red dyed 1-K kerosene.
! NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, paint
thinners or other oil compounds in this heater.
! NEVER rell heater fuel tank when heater is operating
or still hot.
! NEVER use heater in areas where ammable vapors or
gases may be present.
! NEVER ll heater fuel tank in living space; ll tank
outdoors.
! 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; kerosene should
be stored in a well ventilated place outside the
living area.
! The unit is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation. Due
to high surface temperatures, keep children, clothing,
furniture, and other combustible objects at least 36 away
from top and front area.
! RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION
USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. People with breathing problems should consult
a physician before using the heater. In a house of typical
construction, that is, one that is not of unusually tight
construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals
against air inltration, an adequate supply of air for
combustion and ventilation is provided through inltration;
however, if the heater is used in a small room where less
than 200 cubic feet (5.7 m of air space is provided for
each 1,000 BTU per hour of heater rating (considering
the maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent
room(s) should be kept open or the window to the outside
should be opened at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) to guard
against potential buildup of indoor air pollution. DO NOT
use the heater in a bathroom or any other small room with
the door closed.
! NEVER use heater to heat or boil water or use as a
cooking appliance.
WARNING!!
FAILURE TO INSTALL, MAINTAIN, AND/OR
OPERATE THIS KEROSENE HEATER ACCORDING TO
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN
CONDITIONS WHICH CAN PRODUCE BODILY INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions
appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood that common sense, caution, and
carefulness are factors which cannot be built into this
heater. These factors must be supplied by the person(s)
installing, maintaining, or operating the kerosene heater.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or
the manufacturer on any problems or conditions you do
not understand.
! NEVER leave heater operating if you intend to leave for
any period of time. Always make sure to
turn heater off and inspect to insure that it is
completely extinguished prior to going to bed.
! NEVER leave heater unattended.
! NEVER use as a source of heat for drying objects.
! NEVER place objects on the top plate.
WARNING!! RISK OF BURNS
! NEVER operate the heater without the guard or grill
completely attached.
IF POOR QUALITY KEROSENE is used a rapid
accumulation of carbon and tar is likely. This may cause
a strong odor and will destroy the wick. Additional heater
damage may occur as the wick becomes more difcult to
adjust. The use of poor quality fuel could also make the
wick very hard to extinguish. Always make sure the re is
out. (See page 16, Extinguishing the Heater.)
ADJUSTMENT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE cannot be
changed by adjusting the heater. A Kerosene heater is
either on or off. There is no temperature adjustment. If
heater output is reduced by lowering the wick in any way,
improper combustion will occur producing odors and an
accumulation of tar and carbon. If your room becomes too
hot, open a door or a window or turn off the heater.
