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 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) 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 store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated place outside the
living area.
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
compounds in this heater. These are volatile fuels that can cause an explosion or uncontrolled flames.
NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over time.
“OLD KEROSENE” WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
Figure 8. Wheel and Handle Assembly, RMC-KFA125TDGP/RMC-KFA170TDGP Models Only.
NOTE : Heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qualitied service person.
5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN
Fuel System : This heater is equipped with an electric
air pump that forces air through the air
line connected to the fuel intake and then
through a nozzle in the burner head.
When the air passes in front of the fuel
intake it causes fuel to rise from the tank
and into the burner nozzle. This fuel and
air mixture is then 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 described above.
The Air System : The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the combustion
chamber. Here the 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.
Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature you will be able to start your heater.
B. Electrical System Protection : The heaters electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker mounted to
the power switch that protects the PCB assembly and other electrical
components from damage. If your heater fails to operate check this fuse
first and replace as needed.
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.
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.
