FUELING THE HEATER
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 sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during
the operation of the heater. Using diesel fuel can cause
excess soot production. Do not use bio-diesel, as this
fuel will damage your heater's seals and filter.
• CSA certified for use with 1-K kerosene, no. 1 and no.
2 diesel, JP8/Jet A Fuel, no. 1 and no. 2 fuel oil.
Do not use any fuel that is not approved above.
DANGER! Never refuel this heater while it is hot
or operating. Fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION! Never fill the fuel tank indoors. Always
fill the tank outdoors. Be sure that the heater is
on level ground.
WARNING! Do not use gasoline or crankcase
drainings.
• Never use fuel such as benzene, alcohol, white
gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners or other oil
compounds in this heater. These are volatile fuels
that can cause a fire or explosion.
• Never store kerosene in living space.
• Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area
outside the living area.
• 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.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue
container that is clearly marked "Kerosene."
Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is
associated with gasoline.
VENTILATION
• Risk of indoor air pollution and carbon monoxide
poisoning. Use heater only in well ventilated areas.
• Refer to Safety Warnings on pages 1 and 2 for
information about carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER! Carbon monoxide poisoning may
lead to death.
Always provide a fresh air opening in the heated
space of at least three square feet for each
100,00 BTU/HR of heater output. Provide a larger
opening if more heaters are being used.
