CAUTIONS
- SAFETY GUIDE -
WARNING!! RISK OF EXPLOSION / RISK OF FIRE
! NEVER use any fuel other than water-clear 1-K
kerosene.
! NEVER
use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, paint
thinners or other oil compounds in this heater.
! NEVER
refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating
or still hot.
! NEVER
use heater in areas where flammable vapors
or gases may be present.
! NEVER fill heater fuel tank in living space; fill
tank outdoors.
! NEVER
store or transport kerosene in other than a
metal or plastic container that is (1)acceptable
for kerosene, (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly
marked “Kerosene”.
NEVER store kerosene in
the living space; kerosene should be stored in a
well ventilated place outside the living area.
! The unit is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.
Due to high surface temperatures, keep
children, clothing, furniture, and other
combustible objects at least 36” away from top
and front area.
!
RISK OF IN DOOR AIR POLLUTION
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 200 cubic
feet (5.7 m of air space is provided for each 1,000 BTU per
hour of heater rating (considering the maximum burner
adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept
open or the window to the outside should be opened at
least 1 inch (25.4 mm) 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.
! NEVER use heater to heat or boil water or use as a
cooking appliance.
WARNING!!
FAILURE TO INSTALL, MAINTAIN, AND/OR
OPERATE THIS KEROSENE HEATER ACCORDING
TO MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS MAY
RESULT IN CONDITIONS WHICH CAN PRODUCE
BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions
appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood that common sense, caution, and
carefulness are factors which cannot be built into this
heater. These factors must be supplied by the person(s)
installing, maintaining, or operating the kerosene heater.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service
agent, or the manufacturer on any problems or
conditions you do not understand.
! NEVER
leave heater operating if you intend to leave for
any period of time. Always make sure to turn heater off
and inspect to insure that it is completely extinguished
prior to going to bed.
! NEVER leave heater unattended.
! NEVER use as a source of heat for drying objects.
! NEVER place objects on the top plate.
WARNING!! RISK OF BURNS
! NEVER operate the heater without the guard or
grille completely attlached.
IF POOR QUALITY KEROSENE is used a rapid
accumulation of carbon and tar is likely. This may cause
a strong odor and will destroy the wick. Additional
heater damage may occur as the wick becomes more
difficult to adjust. The use of poor quality fuel could also
make the wick very hard to extinguish. Always make
sure the fire is out. (See page 12, Extinguishing the
Heater.)
ADJUSTMENT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE can not be
changed by adjusting the heater. A Kerosene heater is
either on or off.
There is no temperature adjustment. If
heater output is reduced by lowering the wick in any
way, improper combustion will occur producing odors
and an accumulation of tar and carbon. If your room
becomes too hot, open a door or a window or turn off the
heater.
