4. KEROSENE (1-K)
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for the proper operation of this heater that you use the correct grade
of kerosene. The correct grade of kerosene is identified as 1-K kerosene.
1-K Kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants such as sulphur, which can cause
a rotten egg odor during operation of the heater. #1 fuel oil may be used if 1-K kerosene is not available.
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.
