4. KEROSENE (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has
been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulpher. Which can cause a rotten egg odor during
the operation of the heater. However, #1 diesel/fuel oil may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not available.
Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more
fresh air ventilation to accomodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated space.
KEROSENE SHOULD ONLY BE STORED IN A BLUE CONTAINER THAT IS CLEARLY
MARKED “KEROSENE”. NEVER STORE KEROSENE IN A RED CONTAINER.
Red containers are associated with gasoline.
NEVER
NEVER use any fuel other than 1-K kerosene (#1 fuel oil is an acceptable substitute.)
NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil
NEVER
NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time.
store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated place outside the
living area.
compounds in this heater. These are volatile fuels that can cause an explosion or uncontrolled flames.
store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
“OLD KEROSENE” WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN
Fuel System: This heater is equipped with a Fuel
pump(Gear)that pulls fuel through the fuel line connected
to the fuel tank and then pushes fuel through a filter and a
solenoid valve and out the burner head nozzle.
This fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a
fine mist.
“Sure Fire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor sends
voltage to a specially designed spark plug.
The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
The Air System: The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the
combustion chamber. This air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.
The Safety System:
A. Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to
turn off the heater should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level.
If this device activates and turns your heater off it may require service.
Internal Shut-Off Temp. Reset Temperature
Plus/Minus 10 Degrees Plus/Minus 10 Degrees
176˚F/80˚C 122˚F/50˚C
B. Electrical System Protection :
C. Flame-Out Sensor :
Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal operation.
It will cause the heater to shut-off should the burner flame extinguish.
This heaters electrical system is protected by a fuse mounted to the PCB
assembly that protects it and other electrical components from damage.
If your heater fails to operate check this fuse first and replace as needed.
FUSE TYPE:
250 VAC / 8 amps
6. FUELING YOUR HEATER
NEVER FILL THE HEATER FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE: FILL THE TANK
OUTDOORS.
DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR HEATER AND BE SURE HEATER IS LEVELED.
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.
WARNING!!: NEVER REFILL HEATER FUEL TANK WHEN HEATER IS OPERATING OR
STILL HOT.

7. OPERATION
A.) VENTILATION
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION/USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Provide at least a three-square foot(2,800 sq. cm.) opening of fresh outside air for each 100,000 BTU/hr.
of heater rating.
B.) OPERATION
TO
START HEATER
1. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.
2. Attach fuel cap.
3. Plug power cord of heater into three-prong, grounded extension cord.
Extension cord must be at least six feet long.
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements
• 6 to 100 feet long, use 14 AWG conductor.
• 101 to 200 feet long, use 12 AWG conductor.
• 201 to 300 feet long, use 10 AWG conductor.
• 301 to 400 feet long, use 8 AWG conductor.
• 401 to 500 feet long, use 6 AWG conductor.
Turn “Thermostat Control Knob” to desired setting(setting range : 40℉~110℉) and push

switch to “ON” position, power indicator lamp and room temp. display will light and heater will start.
NOTE: Room Temp. display indicates as following,
• When room temp. is less than 0℉ : “Lo”
• When room temp. is between 0℉and 99℉ : Indicates in figure.
• When room temp. is more than 99℉ : “Hi”
If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too low, turn “THERMOSTATCONTROL
Knob” to higher position to start heater. If heater still does not start, turn operating switch to “OFF”
and then to “ON” position. (Figure 4). If heater still does not start, see Troubleshooting Guide on
page 13.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
TO STOP HEATER
CAUTION ; Never unplug heater while heater is running
Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the
combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber
is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is complete.
1. Turn operating switch to “OFF”.
This will cause heater flame to go out.
The motor will continue to run during the cooling cycle.
(Room Temp. Display will show “CC” during the cooling cycle)
This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle
(approx.1Min) is finished, the motor will stop.
Do not unplug heater until cooling cycle is finished.
2. Unplug power cord.
3. To temporarily stop heaters, 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
CAUTION ; Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is finished.
The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber.
1. Wait until cooling cycle is finished after stopping heater.
2. Repeat steps under to start HEATER.
