FUELING THE HEATER
CAUTION: NEVER FILL THE FUEL TANK INDOORS. ALWAYS FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS. BE
SURE THAT THE HEATER IS ON LEVEL GROUND WHEN FUELING, AND NEVER OVERFILL
THE FUEL TANK.
It is always a good idea to fire the heater outdoors for the fist time. This will allow any oils used in the man-
ufacturing process to be burned off in a safe environment. This initial burn should last at least 10 minutes.
KEROSENE (#1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that #1-K kerosene be used. #1-K kero-
sene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg
odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1, #2 (fuel oil), JP-8 or Jet A fuel oil 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 accommodate any added contaminants that
may be added to the heated space.
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.
•
NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area out-
side the living area.
•
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 A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION).
•
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.
•
Use #1-K kerosene in this heater. #1, #2 (fuel oil), JP-8, or Jet A fuel oil is a suitable substitute.
NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A FUEL
SOURCE.
TO START THE HEATER
1. Fill fuel tank with clean diesel or paraffin.
2. Plug power cord of heater into a standard 115 V~60 Hz outlet, properly grounded. Turn switch to "ON"(I).
NOTE: Models With Flue, For functioning of the appliance with environment thermostat (115V),
remove the protective cap from the thermostat outlet and insert the thermostat plug in the
outlet. For functioning without thermostat, insert the protective cap of the thermostat outlet in
the outlet.
3. Set environment thermostat to maximum temperature. Turn the switch to the "ON"(I) position.
4. Adjust the thermostat to the required temperature.
5. On this model you have a preventilation and an aftercooling time. This means that at start, the burner lights
about 10 s after fan rotation. Then at shut off , the fan goes on rotating for about 2 min to allow the unit to cool.
WARNING: THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.
VENTING
Connect the heater to a flue pipe or to a exhaust duct. To get a proper draft (at least 0,1 mbar) in the flue
pipe, the exhaust gas path must rise. Avoid any elbows and bends in the first part of the flue pipe for at
least 3 m. For operation of heater in closed rooms without flue refer to the instructions for installation (page
11, #6).
•
If a remote thermostat is used, set it on maximum temperature.
•
Turn switch to "ON" position.
•
Set the desired temperature on room thermostat.
NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR WHILE CONNECTED TO A FUEL
SOURCE.
