INTRODUCTION
Monitor
is an
easy-to-operate
vented kerosene
heater. Routine operation features high
BTU
output
automatic
adjustment
of
room temperature,
low
fuel
and
power consumption,
and
choice
of
automatic
or
manual
heater operation.
This section provides
all
information necessary
to
operate
the
Monitor Heating System.
All
operation
procedures specified should
be
performed
in the
order
in
which they
are
described.

*The
energy from
the
combustion process
is
released
in the
form
of
heat
and
vaporized water.
Normally, heating systems discharge water from
combustion
to the
atmosphere without condensing
it
This
93%
efficiency rating means that, assuming
the
water
cannot
be
condensed,
93% of the
heat
produced
by the
combustion process
is
recovered.
Assuming
the
water
can be
condensed,
the
effi-
ciency
is
88%
NOTE:
Actual effective heating area depends upon
numerous
factors such
as
type
and
severity
of
climate, type
of
dwelling construction,
condition
of
dwelling,
and
thickness
and
effectiveness
of
dwelling insulation.
