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

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, E
xtinguishing
the
Heater.)
!
ADJUSTMENT
OF
ROOM TEMPERATURE
cannot 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
may 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.

KEROSENE
(1-K ONLY)
!
!
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to the operation of this heater that you use the proper grade of kerosene.
The proper grade of kerosene is identified as 1-K Kerosene. DO NOT OPERATE THIS HEATER WITH ANY
FUEL OTHER THAN 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.
!
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.
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 explosion or uncontrolled flames.
!
The best way to purchase kerosene is in a pre-packaged, metal or plastic, blue colored container.
The second choice would be to buy it from a dealer who stores it in bulk drums. The third choice is to buy
kerosene from a dealer who stores it in a large underground (or above ground) tank. Kerosene that is
contaminated with even a small amount of water will prevent a kerosene heater from functioning properly. As
you move from the first choice in purchasing kerosene (pre-packaged container) to the third choice (large
storage tank), the likelihood of water being present from condensation increases.
If you purchase kerosene in bulk, know your dealer.
!
It is normal for a kerosene heater to give off a slight odor upon start-up and shut-down.
After 5-10 minutes of operation, the heater should have reached its normal operating temperature and any
odor should be very slight.
!
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.
!
A variety of problems can result from using poor quality kerosene --- smoke, odor, low flame, difficult ignition,
difficult shut-down, flame flickers and dies, excessive burning down of the wick, reduced wick life, wick
adjuster sticking, excessive deposits on the wick, etc.. If you encounter any of the problems listed above,
check your kerosene. If you discover that the kerosene is the problem, get a fresh supply of 1-K KEROSENE
before using your heater again.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!

!
FUELING YOUR
HEATER
!
NEVER FILL THE HEATER FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE:
FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS.
Before fueling the heater, take the heater, the kerosene, and the manual
siphon pump outdoors. To use the manual siphon pump, tighten the cap
on the top of the siphon, place the straight tube into the kerosene
container, and insert the flexible tube into the opening of the fuel tank. By
squeezing the bulb of the siphon pump, fuel will be transferred from the
kerosene container into the heater tank. (Fig. 5) Carefully watch the fuel
gauge beside of the opening of the fuel tank so that you will know when
the tank is getting full. When you approach the full mark, loosen the cap
on top of the siphon pump. This will stop the flow of kerosene. DO NOT
OVERFILL YOUR HEATER. Allow the siphon pump to drain thoroughly
before you remove it from the tank and the kerosene container.
!
!

!
!
Fig. 5
!
!
After fueling the fuel tank of the heater by using siphon pump, make sure
that you loosen (counter clock wise) the cap on the siphon pump to drain
throughly the remaining kerosene in the siphon pump. For the reuse of
siphon pump, make sure that you tighten (clock wise) the cap on the
siphon pump to transfer the kerosene into the fuel tank properly. (Fig.6)
!
!
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FUELING OF THE HEATER :
When fueling your heater for the first time and any other time when the
tank has been completely empty, as in "Dry Burning" (page 7) make
sure to allow the wick to soak a minimum 60 minutes before you
attempt to light the heater. (Take note of the time you started to soak
the wick or use a kitchen timer or wrist watch with an alarm feature)
Failure to properly soak the wick can trap air pockets in the wick causing
the heater to burn poorly. Premature ignition can destroy your wick.
!
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER
The first time you light your heater there may be some odor due to the
burning off of oils used in the manufacturing process. To avoid this
you may wish to burn the heater outside on a calm and windless day.
If it s windy consider a porch or garage or other room where the
windows can be opened to disperse the odor.

IGNITION
!
!
The procedure is as follows:
–
Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until the wick has been raised to its maximum height.
–
Lift the burner assembly by using the burner knob.
–
Touch a lighted match to the exposed top edge of the wick.
–
Once you see that the wick has been lit, lower the burn chamber back down over the wick.
–
Rotate the burner knob from side to side a few times to make sure that the burner is positioned
properly on the wick adjuster.
–
Then begin following the steps outined in "Adjusting the wick"
!
CAUTION : Make sure that you do not leave the match, or any portion of it (match head, etc.) in the burner
area. Debris left from the match can cause an uneven alignment of the burner and may result in
smoke, incomplete combustion, odor, or fire.

ADJUSTING THE
WICK Fig. 7
!
After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation.
During the first 5 minutes after ignition, the burner chamber warms up and flames will become visible at the top
of burner. These flames will gradually build up. After 5-7 minutes of operation, you should use the wick
adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height. The proper flame height is a 13mm flame above the center
flame spreader disk, with even distribution of flame around the flame spreader disk visible through the glass
cylinder of the heater. See pictures below for reference.
As you continue to operate the heater, the temperature of the heater and the temperature of the room will
continue to change. As the heater warms up, the kerosene in the tank will vaporize faster, and this could
require adjusting the wick adjuster down in order to maintain the desired 13mm flame height. Therefore, it is
necessary to continue to monitor the flame height, and to make adjustments using the wick adjuster knob to
keep the proper flame height. It is recommended that the heater be checked every 30 minutes in order to keep
the proper adjustment because periodic adjustment is required.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
!
!
!
!
NOTE
:
During start-up, small adjustments
to
the flame can be performed by
using
the burner knob on the front
of
the burner and MOVING THE BURNER
FROM
SIDE TO SIDE until the flame
at
the top
of
burner
is
as even as
possible.
DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER KNOB ONCE THE HEATER HAS
REACHED
NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE FLAME HAS STABILIZED.
THE BURNER KNOB
IS
VERY HOT DURING
OPERATION.
!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This heater is designed to operate with a flame
height of a 13mm above the flame spreader disk at the top of the
burner.
For proper combustion to occur, it is very important that the flame height be
!
!
Fig. 7
adjusted so that it is neither too high, nor too low. Operating the heater at a wick setting below the minimum
recommended setting (the wick-stop setting) could result in the risk of fire and / or carbon monoxide poisoning.
!
WARNING : RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION AND FIRE, DO NOT OPERATE HEATER AT WICK
SETTING LOWER THAN MINIMUM WICK-STOP SETTING.
!
!
!
WICK MAINTENANCE
/
DRY
BURN
!
Wick maintenance is necessary to prevent soot production, low heat output and performance issues. Carbon and tar
will build up on the top of the wick during regular use of this product. Wick maintenance is required within the first
seven (7) days of your first use of the heater and every 2 tankfuls of fuel and/or every week during the heating
season. If the wick feels hard and brittle, this indicates that wick maintenance is necessary in order to keep your
heater performing accordingly.
!
Check Your Wick Often!
If the wick is hard to light.
If the wick is hard to raise or difficult to adjust by turning the wick adjustment knob.
If the top of the wick is stiff and hard.
Note: Poor fuel or fuel contaminated with water will also turn the wick hard.
!
!
!
PERFORMING WICK DRY BURN / REMOVING CARBON FROM THE WICK
!
"Dry burning" your heater will cause
a
strong odor. For this reason
it is
best to "dry burn" your heater outdoors on
a
day that
is
completely calm and windless.
If it s
too windy outside you can consider
a
porch, breezeway or other room with all of the windows
open to disperse the strong
odor.
!
Step
1 With your fuel tank nearly empty, burn your heater (without refilling) until the flame starts to burn out then
raise the wick to its highest possible setting and leave it there until it burns out completely. Wait 60 minutes,
then re-light the wick (with a match if necessary) and allow it to burn out again. Once the heater is cool to the
touch, remove the cabinet and brush the top of the wick with an old tooth brush or other stiff bristle brush to
remove any remaining ash. A canister type vacuum cleaner may be a useful tool in removing this ash.
Step
2 The first step should remove most carbon and your wick should feel softer to the touch. If any part still feels
hard, you can use small pliers to pinch these hard spots and break up the carbon into pieces. After doing
this, replace the cabinet, add a small amount of fuel, wait at least one hour and then repeat step 1.
Carry out Carbon Removal / Dry Burning within (7) seven days after your first use of your new heater to reduce
carbon build-up on the wick’s burning surface, after every two tankfuls of fuel and/or every week during the heating
season. Afterwards, dry burn your heater anytime the wick appears to be hard. CHECK YOUR WICK OFTEN! Dry
burn your wick and remove all fuel from your heater at the end of the heating season.
!
Note: Burn your heater dry, as noted above, weekly during the heating season or necessary
thereafter. Check your wick often to see if CARBON REMOVAL / DRY BURNING is
necessary. Carbon removal will NOT be effective if your fuel has been contaminated by
water or any other liquid. In this case you must clean the fuel tank, replace the wick
and soak it for 60 MINUTES in fresh, K-1 Kerosene.

TO
TAKE CARE
OF THE WICK
!
1. The wick
which
is made from
glass
fiber
needs to
have
its top cut
off
from
time to time. This should only be done
if the below burning off does not reduce or clear the deposits. Only a tiny amount needs to be cut off the top of
the wick.
2. W
hen
it is
used
for a long
time,
a
tar-like substance
is
deposited
on its top,
affecting
the
suction
of fuel and
the
wick’s vertical movement.
To
remove
this
tar-like substance,
you will
burn
the wick idle as
follows
: Do not
fill oil to the
heater, even after
the fuel
indicator
has
pointed
to “0” ---
continue
to
burn
it until the fire dies
down.
By this time the
tar-like substance
on the top of the wick will
have been consumed, resulting
in
better suction
of kerosene and
smoother movement
of the wick.
3. You
need
not
worry about
the wick
being destroyed
by the
above burning
idle, as it is a
glass
fiber.
4. This idle
burning
of the wick should be done
once every
20 to 30 days.
!
!
WICK
REPLACEMENT
!
The wick
in
your heater needs replacing
if,
after repeated cleanings, any of the following conditions still exist: slow to light,
hard movement of the wick adjuster knob, kerosene odor while burning, low heat output, slow warm up, damaged
wick.
!
Use only
a
genuine replacement
wick.
!
If
cleaning
the
Wick does
not
improve performance,
you will
need
to
replace
the
Wick Refer
to the
"TROUBLE
SHOOTING GUIDE",
see
page
14.
which outlines conditions under which
the
Wick should
be replaced.

!
1. Turn the wick-adjust-handle knob counter-clockwise slowly until it stops. The wick will be lowered to the
bottom and the fire will be out in 3-5 minutes.
!
2. Make sure the fire has deen extinguished.
!
3. Never fail to extinguish the fire before you move the heater to another place, before you evacuate the
room in which the heater is used.
!
!
!
!
AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF
DEVICE
!
This heater is equipped with an automatic safety shut-off device. The purpose of this device is to quickly
and efficiently shut-off the heater should the heater be jarred or tipped over while in operation. This is the
main safety system that is built into the heater, and it functions to prevent the flame from spreadng if the
heater is knocked over.
!
The automatic safety shut-off device is built into the mechanism that raises and lowers the wick. It has
been designed to that if the pendulum is jarred by a shock of some sort, it retracts a latch from the wick
control shaft ratchet, and a torsion spring reacts to drop the wick to its fuly lowered position. This rapid
lowering of the wick extinguishes the flame.
!
IMPORTANT NOTICE : For the safety shut-off device to function properly, the wick must be free of carbon
and tar deposits. Regularly performing the “Carbon Removal / Dry Burning” procedure described in the
“Wick Maintenance” and “Carbon Removal /Dry Burning” sections on page 9 is very important to the proper
functioning of this important safety device.
!
!
IMPORTANT NOTICE : PLEASE CHECK THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE ONCE A WEEK DURING
THE HEATING SEASON TO INSURE THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
!
IMPORTANT NOTICE : EVERY TIME THE WICK IS REMOVED OR REPLACED. THE SAFETY SHUT-
OFF DEVICE MUST BE TESTED TO INSURE THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

TESTING THE SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE
: At
least once
a
week during
the
heating season,
it is
important
to test
the
safety shut-off device
to be sure that it is
operating properly. WITH
THE
HEATER TURNED
OFF, raise the
wick
using
the wick
adjuster knob
to the fully
raised position. Holding
the
protective grille,
give the
heater
a firm
shake.
If the
safety shut-off device
is
working properly,
you will hear a loud
noise
as the
ratchet
is
disengaged
and
the torsion
spring drops
the wick into the body of the
heater.
To verify that the wick has been
completely lowered,
turn the wick
adjuster
knob in a
counterclockwise direction.
If the safety
shut-off device
is
functioning properly,
the wick will have been
completely lowered.
If you are able to lower the wick
further
using the wick
adjuster
knob,
this
means
that it is
time
to
perform
the
"Carbon Removal
Dry
Burning" procedure described earlier.

LONG TERM STORAGE
OF
YOUR
HEATER
!
Carefully following the instructions for storage given below will insure that your heater will operate efficiently
and safely next season(Fig. 9).
!
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.
!
With the fuel tank empty, ignite the heater. With the wick at its
maximum
height, keep the
wick
burning until it burns out
completely
(about 1 hour). It is a good idea to do this outside or in an
extremely well- ventilated
area.
!
Remove
the 3
body dome
nuts and lift off the
body a
ssembly.
Remove
the
burner. Remove
the
wick adjuster from
the fuel
reservoir. Throughly
dry the
inside
of the
fuel tank. Using a
screwdriver
and/or a brush, remove any carbon, tar or soot that might have
accumulated
on
the wick adjuster, wick guide
or burner.
!
After
a
thorough cleaning, reassemble
the
heater.
It is
important when reassembling
the
wick
adjuster
to be
sure
to
maintain
an
equal
gap
between
the
wick adjuster
and the
wick guide cylnder
all around.
See "Wick Replacement"
on
page 8
for reference.
!
Store the heater with the wick
in
the fully lowered
position.
!
Store the heater in the original box with the original packing material and keep the OWNER'S
MANUAL with the heater. Store
in an
area that
is
well-
ventilated.
