SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before
using
your
heater,
read
these important
words
of
caution.
A WARNING:
1.
Risk
of
Explosion
A.
Never use any fuel other than water clear No. 1-K kerosene (ASTM 1-K) or synthetic fuels for
use with kerosene-fired portable heaters. Never use gasoline.
B.
Never refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot.
C.
Never fill heater fuel tank in living space. Fill heater
tank
outdoors.
D. Never use heater in areas where
flammable vapors or gases may be present.
E.
Never store or transport the fuel in other than a metal or plastic container that is acceptable
for use with the specific
fuel, nonred in color, for 1-K kerosene clearly marked, "kerosene",
or is in the original container for the Synthetic Fuel. Never store fuel in the living space.
A WARNING:
2. Due
to
high surface temperature, keep children, clothing, and furniture at least three feet away
from
the
heater while in operation. High temperatures can produce severe burns and cause
ignition
of
clothing
or furniture.
A WARNING:
3.
Risk
of
indoor
air
pollution. Use your heater only in well-ventilated areas. People
with
breath-
ing problems should consult a physician before using
the
heater.
A WARNING:
4. Do not use heater
to
heat or boil water or use as a cooking appliance. Placing cooking vessels
on
top
of
heater may create a risk
of
abnormal burning ..
A WARNING:
5. Never use containers
that
have been used for other fuels such as gasoline,
paint
thinner,
alcohol, benzol, No. 2
fuel oil, diesel oil, white gas or camping stove fuel. Contamination may
cause
wick
fouling smoking or high flames.
6. Never move, handle, service or refuel your heater
while
it
is operating or still hot.
7.
Never leave your heater unattended while in use.
8. Never
allow
children
to
operate or refuel heater.
9. Never
place
your heater in high
traffic
areas such as doorways or hallways. Be sure heater is
sitting
on level surface during operation.
10
. Never place your heater in windy or drafty locations.
11
. Never use your heater in a moving vehicle.
12
. Always extinguish heater before sleeping.
13.
Never
attempt
to
modify or repair
the
Automatic Shut-off System.
14. In
the
safe operation
of
the
heater,
the
owner must monitor
the
heater for
at
least
15
minutes
to
be sure heater is working properly and avoid any abnormal burning.
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATING
AIR
FOR
UNVENTED HEATERS:
In a house
of
typical construction,
that
is, one
that
is not
of
unusually
tight
construction due
to
heavy
insulation and
tight
seal against
air
infiltration, an adequate supply
of
air for combustion and ventilation
is provided through infiltration. However,
if
the
heater is used in a small room where less than 200
cub
ic
feet (5.7
1li
3
)
of air space is provided for each 1,000
Btu
per hour of hea
ter
rating (considering
the
' maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to a
dja
cent roo
m(s)
should be kept open or
the
window
to
the
outside should be opened
at
least 1 inch (25.
4mm)
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.

FUEL GUIDE
A WARNING:
USE
ONLY WATER CLEAR N0.1-K
KEROSENE
(ASTM 1-K)
OR
SYNTHETIC FUELS
FOR
USE WITH
KEROSENE-FIRED
PORT ABLE HEATERS.
DO
NOT
USE
GASOLINE
OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE FUELS THAT
WILL DANGEROUSLY INCREASE THE
RISK
OF
FIRE
.
DO
NOT
USE
KEROSENE
OR
SYNTHETIC FUEL THAT IS DEGENERATED, CONTAMINATED BY IMPURITIES,
OR
CONTAINS WATER
IN
YOUR
HEATER.
Degenerated or contaminated kerosene or synthetic fuel refers to;
• Fuel that has been carried over from the previous season.
• Fuel that has been stored
in
the sun for a long period
of
time.
• Fuel that has been stored with its container cover left open for a long period
of
time.
• Fuel that
is
contaminated by water, dust, oil other than kerosene or synthetic fuel, even
if
only
by a very small quantity.
• Degenerated or contaminated kerosene or synthetic fuel is yellowish in color or smells like
acid
.
If your heater is fueled by degenerated or contaminated fuel:
•
The
wick
rapidly accumulate large amounts
of
tar.
• The
wick
won 't move
up
and down easily, and
the
heater cannot be ignited or
ext
inguished
readily;
•
The burner chimney won't heat to redness satisfactor ily, resulting in a decrease in
heat
output;
• The heater will give out an offensive smell;
•
Water contaminated fuel will restrict the fuel flow through
the
wick
and cause the flame
to
extinguish;
• The use
of
highly volatile fuels, such as gasoline and paint thinner, may result uncontrollable fire;
What to do
should the fuel tank be filled with degenerated or contaminated fuel:
•
Drain degenerated or contaminated fuel out
of
the fuel tank completely.
•
Wash the fuel tank in clean 1-K kerosen e or synthetic fuel
two
or three times.
• Repair or replace the wick, following the instructions given on page 9.
• If repair does
no
good, replace the wick with a new one.
