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:
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION
WARNING

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 overfillyour 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 containerthat 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.

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 placecooking 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 yourheater 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, orfurniture. 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 strongdrafts. 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 causeabnormal 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 thewick is in its lowest
position (see Extinguishing the Flame on page 10) and flame is completely extinguished.
WARNING
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.
