FUELS
Use only kerosene, or No. 1 fuel oil to
avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol, or other highly flammable fuels.
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels will result in:
•clogged fuel filter and nozzle
•carbon buildup on spark plug
•the need of nontoxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY container. Be sure storage container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the flameout control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system often.
VENTILATION
Follow the minimum fresh, outside
air ventilation requirements. If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air ventilation before running heater.

TO STOP HEATER
Never unplug heater while heater is running. Heater must go
through purge cycle. The purge cycle cools the combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber is not cooled. Do not restart heater until purge cycle is complete.
1.Turn thermostat dial to lowest temperature setting. This will cause heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during the purge cycle. This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the purge cycle is finished, the motor will stop. Do not unplug heater until purge cycle is finished.
2.Unplug extension cord from outlet.
3.To temporarily stop heater, set thermostat at a temperature lower than air around heater. Heater will cycle back on if air temperature around heater matches thermostat setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
Do not restart heater until purge
cycle is finished. The purge cycle cools the combustion chamber.
1.Wait until purge cycle is finished after stopping heater.
2.Repeat steps under To Start Heater, page 5.
OPERATION WITH PORTABLE GENERATOR
Before operating heater or any
appliance from a portable generator, verify that generator has been properly connected to earth ground. Improper grounding or failure to ground generator can result in electrocution if a ground fault occurs. Refer to owner’s manual supplied by generator manufacturer for proper grounding procedures.
The operating voltage range of the heater is 108 to 132 Volts (120 Volts +/- 10%). Prior to plugging heater into generator the output voltage should be verified (if generator is equipped with the automatic idle feature, the output voltage should be measured with the generator running at full speed). If the voltage does not measure in this range the heater should not be plugged into the generator.
Refer to Operation on page 5 for starting, stopping, and resetting heater procedures.
