Congratulations; you are ready to begin enjoying the benefits of one of the most advanced kerosene (paraffin) heaters ever made. TOYOTOMI, the leader in kerosene (paraffin) heater techonlogy, has tested and refined the KS-47B to assure you of long-term safety and satisfaction. Please study the following instructions, use and care for your heater carefully, and it will serve you well for many years.

SAFETY TIPS

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR HEATER, PLEASE review these safety tips:

WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION

Never use any fuel other than clean kerosene (paraffin). Never use gasoline (petrol). Use of gasoline (petrol) can lead to uncontrollable flames resulting in a destructive fire. Even kerosene (paraffin) contaminated with small amounts of gasoline (petrol), or similarly volatile materials, can be hazardous. Never use for kerosene (paraffin) a can that has previously been used for gasoline (petrol), paint thinner, or solvents.

Never refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot. To do so may cause a “flash back“ of flame to the fuel container, resulting in injury to yourself and your property.

3. Never use heater in areas where flammable vapors or gases may be present.

Especially avoid use of heater where gasoline (petrol), naphtha, acetone or other volatile solvents are in the air, or whose containers are open. Such vapors could be ignited by the heater, resulting in fire and/or explosion.

4. Never fill heater fuel tank in living space. Fill heater tank outdoors. Never overfill your heater. Always replace heater tank cap securely after refueling. Spillage of kerosene (paraffin) produces strong odor which is hard to remove. Spillage on carpet can be ignited if match or some other ignition source contacts it.

Never store or transport kerosene (paraffin) in other than a metal or plastic container that is (1) acceptable for kerosene (paraffin), (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly marked, ”KEROSENE (PARAFFIN)”. Never store kerosene (paraffin) in the living space. Picking up a gasoline (petrol) can by mistake when fueling is a major cause of heater fires.

WARNING

RlSK OF BURNS OR FIRE

1. Observe the heater carefully for fifteen to twenty (15-20) minutes after start-up. Problems of improper adjustment of wick height or improperly seated heat chamber should become evident during this warm up period. NOTE: Carefully follow the instructions for lighting and adjusting the flame.

2. Due to high surface temperatures, keep away from children, furniture and clothing.

Page 4

3. Do not operate heater without protective guards completely attached.

4. Do not use heater to heat or boil water or as a cooking appliance. Do not place

cooking utensils, tea kettles or any other object on top of heater while in operation.

5. To avoid possible burns or fire, do not move, refuel or attempt to service your

heater while it is burning or still hot. If the heater is dropped while it is burning, fuel spillage and flames outside the heater may occur.

6. Do not operate heater less than 90cm (3 feet) from walls, draperies, clothing, or

furniture. The operation of any heating appliance too close to such materials could cause them to ignite, possibly resulting in a serious fire.

7. To avoid unstable burning, do not operate your heater in areas exposed to strong

drafts. Do not operate heater in high-traffic areas such as doorways or hallways where it may be touched, jarred or tipped accidentally.

8. Do not operate heater in direct sunlight to avoid overheating, which may cause

abnormal flame behaivor. Do not allow room temperature to go above 30˚C. lf the room temperature exceeds 30˚C the flame may increase, thereby producing smoke.

9. Before fueling, going out, or at bedtime, always turn the heater off, making sure the

wick is in its lowest position (see Extinguishing the Flame on page 10) and flame is completely extinguished.

WARNING

RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTlON

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 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 5.7m

of air space is provided for each 250kcal (1,000BTU) per hour of heater rating

(considering the maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should

be kept open or a window to the outside should be opened at least 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.”

(200 cubic feet)

FUEL GUIDE

The TOYOTOMI KS-47B is designed for use with high-quality kerosene (paraffin) only. Use of low-quality kerosene (paraffin) will cause wick performance to drop, leading to ”Iow flame” and ”odor problem” conditions. Purchase only kerosene (paraffin) in non-red cans reserved exclusively for kerosene (paraffin) and marked accordingly with the word ”KEROSENE (PARAFFIN)”. Always store your kerosene (paraffin) in a separate area from where you store gasoline (petrol) for your power equipment, to avoid accidental use of gasoline (petrol) in your heater.

What to Buy...

ALWAYS: Crystal clear, colorless, high quality KEROSENE (PARAFFIN). ALWAYS: Kerosene (paraffin) free of contaminants, water or cloudiness. NEVER: Gasoline (petrol), alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives. NEVER: Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.

How to Use lt...

ALWAYS: Fill heater away from living quarters when heater is cool; use siphon. ALWAYS: Check wick frequently for tar build-up. (Rapid, heavy build-up may

indicate poor quality or deteriorated fuel.)

ALWAYS: Watch fuel gauge to avoid over-filling heater.

How to Store lt...

ALWAYS: ln a clean container, clearly marked KEROSENE (PARAFFIN). ALWAYS: AWAY FROM direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme temperature

changes. NEVER: ln a glass container, or one that has been used for other fuels. NEVER: For longer than 6 months. (Begin each heating season with fresh

kerosene (paraffin); discard at the end of the season.)

Why lt is lmportant...

Pure, clean kerosene (paraffin) is essential for safe and efficient heater operation. Poor quality or contaminated kerosene (paraffin) can cause:

 Low flame

 Excess tar deposits on the wick

 Reduced wick life

 Odor, smoke

 Difficulty in igniting or extinguishing flame

Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline (petrol) can produce uncontrollable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.

CAUTlON

Flames observed emerging from the heater body are a clear indication that fuel is dangerously

contaminated with gasoline (petrol) or other highly flammable material. If this occurs,

a. Never attempt to move the heater.

b. Call the Fire Department.

c. Use only a class ”B” fire extinguisher.

d. Never throw water directly on a burning heater.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATlON

lNSPECTlON AND ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage of your heater.

1. REMOVE PACKING MATERIALS

Remove all packing materials from your heater and install the guard as follows:

CAUTION: Risk of burns. Do not operate heater without guard completely attached.

a) Remove the carrying handle, top plate and packing materials. b) Replace the top plate and install carrying handle by inserting end of carrying

handle to the guard as per illustration.

2. lNSTALL DRIP TRAY

NOTE: DO NOT operate your heater without the drip tray. Place the drip tray on the floor.

 Place the heater on the drip tray.  Turn the heater clockwise until the feet slide into their tabs.

3. CHECK SCREWS

Make sure that the three (3) screws around the guard above the fuel tank are tight.

4. INSTALL BATTERIES

Insert the two (2) C size batteries according to the plus (+) and minus (-) markings inside the holder.

Page 9

FUELING

WARNING: Use only clean Kerosene (paraffin).

Never use gasoline (petrol) or other flammable liquids. ALWAYS extinguish heater before refill heater fuel tank. Fuel heater outside the living area.

1. lnsert the straight tube of the manual fuel siphon into the kerosene (paraffin)

container. Remove the fuel tank cap on the heater, and insert the siphon's flexible hose into the fuel tank opening.

USE KEROSENE ONLY

(PARAFFIN)

2. Turn the air vent knob on the top of the siphon clockwise to close the air vent.

3. To start the flow of kerosene (paraffin), squeeze the bulb of the siphon vigorously

six or seven times. Once the flow begins, it is no longer necessary to squeeze the bulb. To avoid overfilling the tank, watch the fuel gauge. As the indicator enters the red zone, stop the flow by turning the air vent knob counterclockwise.

NOTE: Be especially careful to avoid overfilling the tank with very cold

kerosene; otherwise overflow might occur when the fuel warms up.

4. Remove the siphon carefully, allowing the excess kerosene (paraffin) to drain from the tube back into

container. Replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely. Be sure to wipe away any spilled kerosene (paraffin) from tank or other heater parts.

CHECK BEFORE LIGHTING

1. LOCATE YOUR HEATER AWAY FROM WALLS AND AVOID DRAFTS

Allow at least three 90cm of clearance between the heater and walls, curtains, shelving or other combustible materials. Do not operate your heater in drafty areas or locations where opening doors may create gusts of air. Drafts or strong air currents may make flame unstable and affect heater performance.

More than 90 cm.

2. LEVEL THE HEATER

The heater should be operated on a firm, Ievel floor. NOTE: lf your heater is not level, change Iocations. Do not attempt to prop it

up with books or other objects. An unlevel heater may burn with an uneven flame.

Page 10

3. CHECK THE WICK LIFE EXTENDER

On your first use of new heater or after replacing the wick, check if the WICK LIFE EXTENDER if it on position 1. If not, relocate the WICK LIFE EXTENDER to position 1 by following the instructions on page 9, ADJUSTMENT OF WICK HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER.

4. ENGAGE THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER

The automatic extinguisher is engaged automatically by turning the wick adjuster knob clockwise. Check the operation of the automatic extinguisher before lighting your heater. After turning the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops, turn the manual shutoff counterclockwise to be sure the wick moves smoothly down.

LIGHTING

NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in a garage

or an outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the protective oil present on the burner parts. lf this 15 minutes ”burn-in” is done inside, some objectionable odor will be observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite your heater.

NOTE: lf you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it

after it has been out of fuel for a long time, you will need to wait about thirty (30) minutes for the wick to become fully saturated before Iighting. Failure to allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may cause permanent damage to the wick when it is lighted.

1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. This raises the wick to its

maximum height. As the wick rises within the heater, the wick adjuster knob turns with some resistance and makes a sound like the winding of a clock. Once the wick has reached its proper height, the automatic extinguisher is fully engaged. The wick adjuster knob will now move freely left or right to adjust the flame.

2. AUTOMATIC LIGHTNG

Gently push down the igniter lever. The igniter coil should glow and touch the wick. When flame appears, release the igniter lever.

NOTE: If you have diffculty igniter wick, let up on the igniter lever very slightly

to remove the igniter coil from direct contact with the wick.

3. LIGHTING WITH A MATCH

Tilt the heat chamber and touch the match to the top of the wick. Do not allow burned parts of the match to fall or remain on the wick.

4. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire heat chamber

handle left and right.

NOTE: An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame, smoke, and

potential damage to the heater itself. Proper seating of the heat chamber is essential for good performance. Do not leave the heater until you have determined that the flame is burning normally, as described in the following section.

Page 11

ADJUSTING THE FLAME

1. After lighting, wait for the heat chamber to reach operating temperature.

2. CHECK THE FLAME LENGTH

After ten to fifteen (10-15) minutes, the entire heat chamber should be glowing red.

BAD

GOOD

BAD

TOO HIGH

Produces smoke

and soot

CORRECT

Most efficient

combustion

TOO LOW

Produces odor

lf necessary, raise or lower the wick by turning the wick adjuster knob to produce the proper flame condition. NOTE: Do not operate your heater with wick set TOO LOW or TOO HIGH. Doing so will decrease

combustion efficiency and increase production of unwanted emissions. When operating heater, be sure wick is high enough to keep the primary heat chamber heated to a uniform red glow from top to bottom.

NOTE: AIways observe the heater closely for the first 15-20 minutes after it is lighted to be sure it is

properly adjusted.

3. ADJUSTMENT OF WICK HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER

Normal use of the wick and heat chamber over a period of time may it impossible to achieve a satisfactorily high flame level. Usually this occurs because the wick develops deposits on it that retard fuel flow and evaporation. When this happens, the wick should be cleaned by “burning dry” as described in item 2, page 11 “CARE AND MAINTENANCE”.

When the “burning dry” cleaning procedure is no longer effective in restoring proper flame height, adjust the wick life extender mechanism to the next higher position.

NOTE : Do not move the wick life extender to a higher position unless the wick has

been cleaned by “burning dry”.

To adjust the wick height rising the wick life extender, first release the automatic extinguisher by pushing down on the MANUAL SHUTOFF.

Then pull the wick adjuster knob from its shaft by pulling outward.

Page 12

When the wick adjuster knob is removed, the wick life extender control can be seen

to contain 3 sequential holes marked 1 , 2 and 3. By pulling out and turning the control dial counterclockwise, the stem pin of the adjuster can be moved from 1 to 2 and to 3 position as required. Each step upward from a lower to a higher number increases the maximum wick adjustment range by 2 mm (approx. 1/13 in.).

After the wick life extender‘s dial has been set, be sure the MANUAL SHUTOFF knob is in the “OFF” position. Replace the wick adjuster knob, making sure it is engaged securely on the wick adjuster shaft.

Repeat steps 1 through 3, as needed, in the section titled “ADJUSTING THE FLAME”. When suitable flame length can no longer be achieved even on pin

position 3 , the wick should be replaced.

NOTE : Do not move adjuster to higher position until lower position no longer

gives adequate flame length, even after “burning dry”.

Before replacing wick, be sure to move the wick life extender dial back to its 1 position.

CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR HEATER.

EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME

1. Turn the wick adjuster knob counterclockwise until it stops. Within a few

moments, the flame will be completely extinguished and the heater will be off.

2. Make sure the flame is out completely.

3. Do not try to relight the heater for at least three (3) minutes after turning it off,

as this may cause smoke and odor.

MANUAL SHUTOFF

When quick shutoff is necessary, push the manual shutoff down.

NOTE: For routine turn-off, DO NOT use the "Manual Shutoff" or activate the

”Automatic Extinguisher” by jarring the heater. These methods may cause unwanted odor, soot and smoke. Only the wick adjuster knob should be used for normal shutoff.

Page 13

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

As with any good appliance, preventive as well as corrective maintenance is occasionally required. Please read the following section carefully in order to enjoy the greatest benefits from your heater.

INSPECTlON OF THE WlCK

NOTE: One of the simplest but also the most important components of your heater is the wick.

With proper attention, the wick will last at least one heating season and, depending on the quality of the fuel used, possibly longer, it helps to perform routine maintenance operations of the wick.

1. lndications that the wick may need attention are:

 low flame  tar deposit on the top edge of the wick  difficulty in turning the wick adjuster knob  a flickering or dying flame

2. Clean the wick by burning dry as follows:

1) When the fuel gauge indicates empty, but the heater is still burning, raise the wick to its highest position and allow the flame to consume the remaining fuel in the tank.

NOTE: Burning the wick dry can at times create odors. For the burning dry procedure, remove your heater

from the living area of your house into a well-ventilated area such as a garage or even a sheltered area outside. If you burn the wick dry outside, be sure that the heater is not exposed to strong drafts during the procedure.

2) After the heater has cooled completely, remove the heater cover as described in items 1 and 2 of the next section.

3) Remove any residue from the wick with a small brush such as an old toothbrush. Cinders or soot in the burner around the wick may be vacuumed away. Be careful when removing such material from the wick with a brush, to do so gently so as not to tear the top surface of the wick.

4) Remove any tar deposits on the top of wick adjuster and primary air tube using a scraper.

NOTE: When good wick performance is no longer achieved by the burning dry process, it may be

necessary to replace the burned wick with a new one.

5) Before reassembling the heater, take a few minutes to wipe the parts with a soft cotton cloth or paper towels.

6) Reassemble the heater, following directions in item 11 of the next section.

NOTE: If the flame is still low after cleaning the wick, the wick may contain some water. It is then necessary

to replace the wick and empty all kerosene (paraffin) from the fuel tank. Dry the tank thoroughly and refill with fresh, pure kerosene (paraffin).

INSPECTION OF THE IGNITER COIL (EVERY TIME)

If the wick does not igniter or is hard to ignite, check if the igniter filament is broken.

If the igniter coil is found to be defective, replace as described on page 14.

Page 14

REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

REPLACING THE WlCK

USE ONLY GENUINE TOYOTOMI ”KS-47B” REPLACEMENT WlCK. SUBSTITUTE WICKS CAN SEVERELY REDUCE PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY.

WARNING: Before disassembling your heater, allow it to cool completely.

1. Release the automatic extinguisher by pushing the manual shutoff down.

2. Remove the three (3) screws and lift cover off.

3. Remove the four (4) wing nuts around the wick adjuster. Lift the wick adjuster off the heater while moving it slightly back and forth.

4. Slide two fingers between the orange band on the wick and the silver wick sleeve attached to the wick adjuster. Lift the pins in the wick off the slots in the wick sleeve. After lifting all three (3) pins off the slots, fold the wick and remove it. Leave the wick sleeve in place.

Page 15

5. Place the wick adjuster on its side. Next, line up the three (3) openings in the

wick adjuster: 1) the holes in the sleeve, 2) the diagonal slots in the fixed part of the wick adjuster, and 3) the slots in the moving part of the wick adjuster controlled by the wick adjuster knob.

6. Fold the new wick in quarters and insert it into the wick adjuster from wick

adjuster bottom. Place one of the pins in one of the lined-up openings. lf you experience difficulty, gently turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise. Then insert the two other pins, turning the wick adjuster knob if necessary. Do not bend the sleeve.

7. Finally, gently press the wick, all along its circumference, against the adjuster

to insure that it is firmly in place.

8. Lower the wick adjuster into the fuel tank, guiding the tail of the wick so it fits

over the primary air tube and evenly into place.

Point the wick adjuster knob to the front of the heater. Insure that the wick adjuster is centered over the studs on the fuel tank.

NOTE: The space between the wick adjuster and the primary air tube should

be even all around.

NOTE: Make certain the top of the wick adjuster and the top of primary air

tube are the same height. lf they are uneven, the flames tend to be uneven, too.

9. Tighten the four (4) wing nuts around the wick adjuster.

10. Turn the wick adjuster knob to be sure the wick moves smoothly up and

down.

Page 16

AFTER REPLACING THE WICK, CHECK THE OPERATlON OF THE AUTOMATlC EXTINGUISHER.

Wick height on position 1 of the wick life extender should be 8mm when wick adjuster knob is turned fully cIockwise. Be sure to check.

NOTE: Remember always to start a new wick on position 1 of the wick life

extender.

NOTE: lf wick does not move smoothly and easily, or wick height on position

1 of the wick life extender is not in the range of 7-9mm do not use heater. Disassemble and repeat items 5 through 10.

NOTE: lf any ragged edges appear on the top of the wick, trim them with a

scissors carefully. DO NOT cut the body of the wick.

11. Replace the heater cover on the fuel tank and secure it into position with three

(3) screws.

12. Once again, check the proper operation of the automatic extinguisher.

NOTE: Before lighting a new wick for the first time, turn the wick to its

lowest position and allow the wick to saturate with kerosene (paraffin) for about thirty (30) minutes.

REPLACING THE IGNITER COIL

USE ONLY GENUINE TOYOTOMI REPLACEMENT IGNITER COIL. SUBSTITUTE IGNITER COILS CAN SEVERELY REDUCE PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY.

WARNING: To avoid contact burns, allow your heater to cool completely before replacing the igniter.

1. REPLACE BATTERIES When the igniter coil no longer glows sufficiently to light the wick, replace the batteries. If proper glow is not restored, the igniter coil may be defective.

2. CHANGE IGNITER COIL a) Remove the batteries from the battery holder.

Disassemble the heater as described in items 1 and 2 of the preceding section.

b) c)

Remove the three (3) screws and heat release plate off.

d) To remove the igniter coil, push it in and twist in either direction while holding

the sides of the socket with your other hand. e) Install the new igniter coil by pressing it into the socket and turning. f)

Make sure that the position of tumor of heat release plate to be right side as

described in the illustration and tighted the three (3) screws. g) Insert the (2) batteries according to the plus (+) and minus (–) markings inside the holder. h) Reassemble the heater as described in item 11 of the preceding section.

Page 17

STORAGE

At the end of each heating season, or when you do not plan to use your heater for an extended period of time, the following procedures are recommended.

1. CLEAN WlCK AND HEATER Follow directions in item 2 under ”INSPECTlON OF THE WlCK”.

2. DRAIN FUEL TANK After you have burned your heater dry, a small amount of kerosene (paraffin) will remain in the fuel tank. lt be removed in order to avoid contamination when the heater is refueled at a later date. To do this, remove the fuel cap, tip the heater toward you and insert a small syringe into the bottom-most portion of the fuel tank. Empty the tank completely before storage.

3. STORE HEATER The original shipping carton is the best place to store your heater. If you do not have original packing materials, cover the heater with a large plastic bag and store in a dry place.
