4. FUEL SELECTION
1. All models can use 7 different fuels: K1 Kerosene, #1 Fuel Oil, #1, Diesel, #2 Fuel Oil, #2 Diesel, Jet A, JP-8
2. K1 Kerosene is recommended for optimal combustion and performance, and for less maintenance. K1 is also
the optimal fuel choice in extremely low temperatures of 15°F or less, as its pour-point/"gel-point" varies
3. Jet A and JP-8 are also excellent choices for clean combustion, reduced maintenance, and temperatures below
15°F, but they are rarely found outside of the aviation industry or the military.
4. #1 Fuel Oil, #1 Diesel, #2 Fuel Oil, #2 Diesel are often selected, as they are readily available. However, the
following:
a. #1 Diesel and #1 Fuel Oil will have some degree of increased smoke/soot during ignition, increased smell,
and increased regular cleaning/maintenance. , burn dirtier than #1 fuels. The
use of #2 fuels will result in a little more smoke/soot during ignition, a greater increase in smell, and will
require more regular cleaning/maintenance than #1 fuels.
c. At temperatures lower than 15°F, most diesel/fuel oil blends will become more viscous (start to gel) as
the diesel falls below its pour point (starts to "gel"), and may pose a challenge igniting the heater and with
continuous operation of the heater. There are troubleshooting steps for this situation, but selecting K1 (or
JP-8/Jet A) is recommended when operating below 15°F. The colder the temperatures the more likely you
could problems you will experience diesel gelling.
temperature drops. At 32°F, the wax in liquid form will crystallize and leave the fuel clouded; this can start
correct which can cause white smoke and performance problems.
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/#2 diesel/fuel oil, JETA or JP-8 fuels are acceptable substitutes)
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
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.
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.
“OLD KEROSENE” WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN
Fuel System: This heater is equipped with a Fuel
pump(Gear)that pulls fuel through the fuel line connected
to the fuel tank and then pushes fuel through a filter and a
solenoid valve and out the burner head nozzle.
This fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a
fine mist.
“Sure Fire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor sends
voltage to a specially designed spark plug.
The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
The Air System: The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the
combustion chamber. This air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.
The Safety System:
A. Temperature Limit Control: This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to
turn off the heater should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level.
If this device activates and turns your heater off it may require service.
C. Flame-Out Sensor : Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal operation.
It will cause the heater to shut-off should the burner flame extinguish.
6. FUELING YOUR HEATER
NEVER FILL THE HEATER FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE: FILL THE TANK
OUTDOORS.
DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR HEATER AND BE SURE HEATER IS LEVELED.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER:
The first time you light the heater, it should be done outdoors. This allows the oils, etc. used in
manufacturing the heater to burn off outside.
WARNING!!: NEVER REFILL HEATER FUEL TANK WHEN HEATER IS OPERATING OR
STILL HOT.

B. Electrical System Protection : This heaters electrical system is protected by a fuse mounted to the PCB
assembly that protects it and other electrical components from damage.
If your heater fails to operate check this fuse first and replace as needed.
FUSE TYPE: 250 VAC / 8 amps

7. OPERATION
A.) VENTILATION
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION/USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Provide at least a three-square foot (2,800 sq. cm.) opening of fresh outside air for each 100,000 BTU/Hr.
of heater rating.
B.) OPERATION
TO START HEATER
2. Attach fuel cap.
3. Plug power cord of heater into three-prong, grounded extension cord.
Extension cord must be at least six feet long.
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements
• 6 to 100 feet long, use 14 AWG conductor.
• 101 to 200 feet long, use 12 AWG conductor.
• 201 to 300 feet long, use 10 AWG conductor.
• 301 to 400 feet long, use 8 AWG conductor.
• 401 to 500 feet long, use 6 AWG conductor.

NOTICE : The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a safety fuse mounted to the PCB board.
If your heater fails to start, check this fuse first and replace as necessary. You should also check your
power source to insure that proper voltage and frequency are being supplied to the heater.
4. Turn “Thermostat Control Knob” to desired setting (setting range : 40℉~110℉) and push operating
switch to “ON” position, power indicator lamp and room temp. display will light and heater will start.
NOTE: Room Temp. display indicates as following,
• When room temp. is less than 0℉ : “Lo”
• When room temp. is between 0℉and 99℉ : Indicates in figure.
• When room temp. is more than 99℉ : “Hi”
If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too low, turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL
Knob” to higher position to start heater. If heater still does not start, turn operating switch to “OFF”
and then to “ON” position. (Figure 4). If heater still does not start, see Troubleshooting Guide on
page 13.
1. Fill fuel tank with fuel.
NOTE : Kerosene is recommended when the temperature drops below 0℉ (-18℃) to prevent
ignition delay or failure.

TO STOP HEATER
TO RESTART HEATER
1. Wait until cooling cycle is finished after stopping heater.
2. Repeat steps under to start HEATER.
The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber.
CAUTION ; Never unplug heater while heater is running
Heater must go through cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the
combustion chamber. Damage to heater can occur if combustion chamber
is not cooled. Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is complete.
CAUTION ; Do not restart heater until cooling cycle is finished.
1. Turn operating switch to “OFF”.
This will cause heater flame to go out.
The motor will continue to run during the cooling cycle.
(Room Temp. Display will show “CC” during the cooling cycle)
This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle
(approx.1Min) is finished, the motor will stop.
Do not unplug heater until cooling cycle is finished.
2. Unplug power cord.
3. To temporarily stop heaters, set thermostat at a temperature lower than air around heater,
Heater will cycle back on if air temperature around heater matches thermostat setting.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
8. LONG TERM STORAGE OF YOUR HEATER
1. Remove fuel drain bolt from rear bottom side of fuel tank using 3/4” socket or adjustable wrench and
drain.
2. Using a small amount of kerosene, swirl and rinse the inside of the tank.
NEVER mix water with the kerosene as it will cause rust inside the tank.
Pour the kerosene out making sure that you remove it all.
IMPORTANT : Do not store kerosene over summer months for use during next heating season.
Using old fuel could damage heater.
3. Reinstall Fuel Drain Bolt to Fuel tank and tighten firmly using 3/4” socket or adjustable wrench.
IMPORTANT : Before reinstalling the fuel drain bolt, make sure the seal is on the bolt. If the seal is
not used the bolt cannot be installed correctly and the fuel tank will leak.
4. Store heater in dry well ventilated area. Make sure storage place is free of dust and corrosive fumes.
5. Store the heater in the original box with the original packing material and keep the USER’S MANUAL
with the heater.
