Congratulations; you are ready to begin enjoying the benefits of one of the most advanced kerosene
(paraffin) heaters ever made. TOYOTOMI, the leader in kerosene (paraffin) heater techonlogy, has tested and
refined the KS-47B to assure you of long-term safety and satisfaction. Please study the following
instructions, use and care for your heater carefully, and it will serve you well for many years.
SAFETY TIPS
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR HEATER, PLEASE review these safety tips:
RISK OF EXPLOSION
1. Never use any fuel other than clean kerosene (paraffin).
Never use gasoline (petrol). Use of gasoline (petrol) can lead to uncontrollable flames
resulting in a destructive fire. Even kerosene (paraffin) contaminated with small
amounts of gasoline (petrol), or similarly volatile materials, can be hazardous. Never
use for kerosene (paraffin) a can that has previously been used for gasoline (petrol),
paint thinner, or solvents.
2. Never refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot. To do so may cause a
“flash back“ of flame to the fuel container, resulting in injury to yourself and your
property.
3. Never use heater in areas where flammable vapors or gases may be present.
Especially avoid use of heater where gasoline (petrol), naphtha, acetone or other
volatile solvents are in the air, or whose containers are open. Such vapors could be
ignited by the heater, resulting in fire and/or explosion.
4. Never fill heater fuel tank in living space. Fill heater tank outdoors. Never overfill
your heater. Always replace heater tank cap securely after refueling. Spillage of
kerosene (paraffin) produces strong odor which is hard to remove. Spillage on
carpet can be ignited if match or some other ignition source contacts it.
5. Never store or transport kerosene (paraffin) in other than a metal or plastic container
that is (1) acceptable for kerosene (paraffin), (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly marked,
”KEROSENE (PARAFFIN)”. Never store kerosene (paraffin) in the living space. Picking
up a gasoline (petrol) can by mistake when fueling is a major cause of heater fires.
RlSK OF BURNS OR FIRE
1. Observe the heater carefully for fifteen to twenty (15-20) minutes after start-up.
Problems of improper adjustment of wick height or improperly seated heat chamber
should become evident during this warm up period.
NOTE: Carefully follow the instructions for lighting and adjusting the flame.
2. Due to high surface temperatures, keep away from children, furniture and clothing.
WARNING

WARNING
KS-47B_US.qxd 14.7.25 13:17 ページ 1

3. Do not operate heater without protective guards completely attached.
4. Do not use heater to heat or boil water or as a cooking appliance. Do not place
cooking utensils, tea kettles or any other object on top of heater while in operation.
5. To avoid possible burns or fire, do not move, refuel or attempt to service your
heater while it is burning or still hot. If the heater is dropped while it is burning, fuel
spillage and flames outside the heater may occur.
6. Do not operate heater less than 90cm (3 feet) from walls, draperies, clothing, or
furniture. The operation of any heating appliance too close to such materials could
cause them to ignite, possibly resulting in a serious fire.
7. To avoid unstable burning, do not operate your heater in areas exposed to strong
drafts. Do not operate heater in high-traffic areas such as doorways or hallways
where it may be touched, jarred or tipped accidentally.
8. Do not operate heater in direct sunlight to avoid overheating, which may cause
abnormal flame behaivor. Do not allow room temperature to go above 30˚C. lf the
room temperature exceeds 30˚C the flame may increase, thereby producing smoke.
9. Before fueling, going out, or at bedtime, always turn the heater off, making sure the
wick is in its lowest position (see Extinguishing the Flame on page 10) and flame is
completely extinguished.
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTlON
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 5.7m3 (200 cubic feet)
of air space is provided for each 250kcal (1,000BTU) per hour of heater rating
(considering the maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should
be kept open or a window to the outside should be opened at least 25.4mm to guard
against potential buildup of indoor air pollution. Do not use the heater in a bathroom
or any other small room with the door closed.”

FUEL GUIDE
The TOYOTOMI KS-47B is designed for use with high-quality kerosene (paraffin) only. Use of low-quality
kerosene (paraffin) will cause wick performance to drop, leading to ”Iow flame” and ”odor problem”
conditions. Purchase only kerosene (paraffin) in non-red cans reserved exclusively for kerosene (paraffin)
and marked accordingly with the word ”KEROSENE (PARAFFIN)”. Always store your kerosene (paraffin) in a
separate area from where you store gasoline (petrol) for your power equipment, to avoid accidental use of
gasoline (petrol) in your heater.
What to Buy...
ALWAYS: Crystal clear, colorless, high quality KEROSENE (PARAFFIN).
ALWAYS: Kerosene (paraffin) free of contaminants, water or cloudiness.
NEVER: Gasoline (petrol), alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives.
NEVER: Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.
How to Use lt...
ALWAYS: Fill heater away from living quarters when heater is cool; use siphon.
ALWAYS: Check wick frequently for tar build-up. (Rapid, heavy build-up may
indicate poor quality or deteriorated fuel.)
ALWAYS: Watch fuel gauge to avoid over-filling heater.
How to Store lt...
ALWAYS: ln a clean container, clearly marked KEROSENE (PARAFFIN).
ALWAYS: AWAY FROM direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme temperature
changes.
NEVER: ln a glass container, or one that has been used for other fuels.
NEVER: For longer than 6 months. (Begin each heating season with fresh
kerosene (paraffin); discard at the end of the season.)
Why lt is lmportant...
Pure, clean kerosene (paraffin) is essential for safe and efficient heater operation.
Poor quality or contaminated kerosene (paraffin) can cause:
Low flame
Excess tar deposits on the wick
Reduced wick life
Odor, smoke
Difficulty in igniting or extinguishing flame
Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline (petrol) can produce
uncontrollable flames, creating a severe fire hazard.

CAUTlON
Flames observed emerging from the heater body are a clear indication that fuel is dangerously
contaminated with gasoline (petrol) or other highly flammable material. If this occurs,
a. Never attempt to move the heater.
b. Call the Fire Department.
c. Use only a class ”B” fire extinguisher.
d. Never throw water directly on a burning heater.

OPERATING CONTROLS
AND FEATURES
1. Safety Guard: Prevents direct touch on the heat chamber, greatly reducing the possibility of
accidental contact burns to the heat chamber.
2. Heat Chamber: Permits adjustment of heat output without increasing unwanted combustion
materials or reducing combustion efficiency. This feature increases comfort and
convenience while maximizing fuel savings.
3. Wick Adjuster Knob: Used to raise and lower wick for heat output adjustment. To extinguish flame
turn knob counterclockwise.
4. Wick Life Extender: Helps maintain good wick performance.
5. Igniter Lever: Battery-powered electrical igniter is brought in contact with to ignite fuel at start-up.
NOTE: Lever should be pushed down gently.
6. Fuel Tank Cap: Covers filling port of fuel tank.
NOTE: Wipe away any spilled kerosene (paraffin) from tank after filling.
7. Fuel Gauge: Indicates fuel level in tank.
NOTE: Never fill beyond black line.
8. Manual Shutoff: Used to rapidly retract wick and extinguish flame.
NOTE: To avoid odor and smoke, do not use routinely to turn heater off. This
manual shutoff is not effective when gasoline (petrol), gasoline (petrol)-
contaminated kerosene (paraffin), or other highly flammable fuels are
used in the heater.
9. Heat Chamber Handle: Used to check and insure proper seating of the heat chamber after ignition.
lmproper seating of the heat chamber will cause erratic flame and smoke.

FUELING
1. lnsert the straight tube of the manual fuel siphon into the kerosene (paraffin)
container. Remove the fuel tank cap on the heater, and insert the siphon's
flexible hose into the fuel tank opening.
2. Turn the air vent knob on the top of the siphon clockwise to close the air vent.
3. To start the flow of kerosene (paraffin), squeeze the bulb of the siphon vigorously
six or seven times. Once the flow begins, it is no longer necessary to squeeze the
bulb. To avoid overfilling the tank, watch the fuel gauge. As the indicator enters
the red zone, stop the flow by turning the air vent knob counterclockwise.
NOTE: Be especially careful to avoid overfilling the tank with very cold
kerosene; otherwise overflow might occur when the fuel warms up.
4. Remove the siphon carefully, allowing the excess kerosene (paraffin) to drain from the tube back into
container. Replace the fuel tank cap and tighten it securely. Be sure to wipe away any spilled kerosene
(paraffin) from tank or other heater parts.
CHECK BEFORE LIGHTING
1. LOCATE YOUR HEATER AWAY FROM WALLS AND AVOID DRAFTS
Allow at least three 90cm of clearance between the heater and walls, curtains, shelving or other
combustible materials. Do not operate your heater in drafty areas or locations where opening doors may
create gusts of air. Drafts or strong air currents may make flame unstable and affect heater performance.
2. LEVEL THE HEATER
The heater should be operated on a firm, Ievel floor.
NOTE: lf your heater is not level, change Iocations. Do not attempt to prop it
up with books or other objects. An unlevel heater may burn with an
uneven flame.

3. CHECK THE WICK LIFE EXTENDER
On your first use of new heater or after replacing the wick, check if the WICK
LIFE EXTENDER if it on position 1. If not, relocate the WICK LIFE EXTENDER to
position 1by following the instructions on page 9, ADJUSTMENT OF WICK
HEIGHT WITH WICK LIFE EXTENDER.
4. ENGAGE THE AUTOMATIC EXTINGUISHER
The automatic extinguisher is engaged automatically by turning the wick
adjuster knob clockwise. Check the operation of the automatic extinguisher
before lighting your heater. After turning the wick adjuster knob clockwise until
it stops, turn the manual shutoff counterclockwise to be sure the wick moves
smoothly down.
LIGHTING
NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in a garage
or an outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the
protective oil present on the burner parts. lf this 15 minutes ”burn-in” is done inside, some
objectionable odor will be observed. This procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite
your heater.
NOTE: lf you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it
after it has been out of fuel for a long time, you will need to wait about
thirty (30) minutes for the wick to become fully saturated before Iighting.
Failure to allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may
cause permanent damage to the wick when it is lighted.
1. Turn the wick adjuster knob clockwise until it stops. This raises the wick to its
maximum height. As the wick rises within the heater, the wick adjuster knob
turns with some resistance and makes a sound like the winding of a clock.
Once the wick has reached its proper height, the automatic extinguisher is fully
engaged. The wick adjuster knob will now move freely left or right to adjust
the flame.
2. AUTOMATIC LIGHTNG
Gently push down the igniter lever. The igniter coil should glow and touch the
wick. When flame appears, release the igniter lever.
NOTE: If you have diffculty igniter wick, let up on the igniter lever very slightly
to remove the igniter coil from direct contact with the wick.
3. LIGHTING WITH A MATCH
Tilt the heat chamber and touch the match to the top of the wick. Do not allow
burned parts of the match to fall or remain on the wick.
4. Be sure that heat chamber is properly seated by moving the wire heat chamber
handle left and right.
NOTE: An improperly seated heat chamber can cause high flame, smoke, and
potential damage to the heater itself. Proper seating of the heat chamber
is essential for good performance. Do not leave the heater until you have
determined that the flame is burning normally, as described in the
following section.
