Use and Care Manual

OPERATION

For Optimal performance of this heater, it is suggested the 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been

rened to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur. Diesel may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not

available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene and care should be taken to

provide more fresh air ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated

space. Use of diesel fuel can cause excess soot production.

NOTE: Store Diesel and/or 1-K kerosene should only be stored in a blue container clearly marked “Diesel”

or “Kerosene”. Never put these in a red container. Red is associated with gasoline.

NEVER store diesel, gasoline or kerosene in a living space.

NEVER use diesel or kerosene that has been stored from one season to the next. It deteriorates over time.

Old diesel, kerosene will not burn properly in this heater.

THEORY OPERATION:

FUEL SYSTEM: This heater is equipped with an air pump that operates off of the electric motor. The pump

forces air through the air line connected to the fuel tank, drawing fuel to the nozzle in the burner head. Air

also passed through the nozzle where it mixes with the fuel and is sprayed into the combustion chamber into

a ne mist.

QUICK-FIRE IGNITION: A transformer sends high voltage to a two-prong spark plug. The spark ignition the

fuel/air mixture as it is sprayed into the combustion chamber.

AIR SYSTEM: A fan is turned by heavy duty motor, which forces air around and into the combustion chamber,

where it is super-heated and forced out the front of the chamber.

TEMPERATURE LIMIT CONTROL: This heater is equipped with a temperature limit control designed to turn

the heater off should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level, if this device activates and turns the

heater off, it may require service. Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature, you will be able

to start your heater.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROTECTION: The

heater’s electrical system is protected by a circuit

breaker that protects the system components

from damage. If the heater fails, check the fuse

first and replace if necessary.

FLAME SENSOR: The heater uses a photocell to

see the flame in the combustion chamber.

Should the flame extinguish, the sensor will stop

the electrical current and the heater will shut off.
