NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
5. OVERVIEW OF HEATERS DESIGN
Fuel System : This heater is equipped with an electric air pump that forces air through the air line connected to the fuel intake and then through a nozzle in the burner head. When the air passes in front of the fuel intake it causes fuel to rise from the tank and into the burner nozzle. This fuel and air mixture is then sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
“Sure Fire Ignition” : The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially designed spark plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture described above.
The Air System : The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the combustion chamber. Here the air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.
The Safety System :
A. Temperature Limit Control : This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to turn off the heater should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this device activates and turns your heater off it may require service.
MODELS | Internal | Reset Temperature | |
Plus/Minus 10 Degrees | Plus/Minus 10 Degrees | ||
| |||
230˚F/110˚C | 194˚F/90˚C | ||
176˚F/80˚C | 122˚F/50˚C | ||
|

Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature you will be able to start your heater.
B. Electrical System Protection : The heaters electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker mounted to the power switch that protects the PCB assembly and other electrical components from damage. If your heater fails to operate check this fuse first and replace as needed.
FUSE TYPE: | All Models | 125 volt / 8 amps |

6. FUELING YOUR HEATER
NEVER FILL THE HEATER FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE : FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS.
DO NOT OVERFILL YOUR HEATER AND BE SURE HEATER IS LEVELED. IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER :
The first time you light the heater, it should be done outdoors. This allows the oils, etc. used in manufacturing the heater to burn off outside.
WARNING!! : NEVER REFILL HEATER FUEL TANK WHEN HEATER IS OPERATING OR STILL HOT.

7. OPERATION
A.) VENTILATION
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION/USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS. Provide a fresh air opening of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,000 BTU/Hr. rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heaters are being used.
Example : A
•a
•a
•two,
B.) OPERATION
TO START HEATER
1.Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.
2.Attach fuel cap.
3.Plug power cord of heater into
Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements :
•6 to 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) long, use 18 AWG conductor.
•11 to 100 feet (3.4 to 30.5 meters) long, use 16 AWG conductor.
•101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use 14 AWG conductor.
4.Turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB” to desired setting (setting range : 40˚F ~ 110˚F) and push power switch to ON” position, power indicator lamp will light and heater will start.
NOTE : Room Temp. display indicates as follows,
*When room temp. is less than 0℉ : "L "
*When room temp. is between 0℉ and 99℉ : Indicates room temperature.
*When room temp. is more than 99℉ : "Hi"
If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too low,turn "THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB" to higher positon to start heater. If heater still does not start, turn power switch to "OFF" and then to "ON" position.(See Figure9). If heater still does not start,see Troubleshooting Guide on page 16.
Figure 9.
Power ON/OFF & Temp. Setting.
NOTICE : The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a safety fuse mounted to the PCB board. If your heater fails to start, check this fuse first and replace as necessary. You should also check your power source to insure that proper voltage and frequency are being supplied to the heater.
TO STOP HEATER
1. Turn switch to “OFF” and unplug power cord.
TO RESTART HEATER
1.Wait 10 seconds after stopping heater. 2. Repeat steps under to start heater.
