FUELS

Use only kerosene, or No. 1 fuel oil to

avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol, or other highly flammable fuels.

Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels will result in:

• clogged fuel filter and nozzle

VENTILATION

Follow the mini- mum fresh, outside

air ventilation requirements. If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, outside air ventilation before running heater.

FRESH AIR OPENING REQUIREMENTS

	Square Feet
Heater Size	Opening
350,000 Btu/Hr	10.5
600,000 Btu/Hr	18.0

5.Set thermostat dial to desired temperature.

NOTE: Thermostat setting must be higher than surrounding air temperature.

6.Plug power cord of heater into three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension cord must be at least six feet long.

Use only a three- prong, grounded extension cord. Use cord with proper

wire size to assure 120 volt operation. See Extension Cord Wire Size Require- ments below.

•carbon buildup on spark plug

•the need of nontoxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather

IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY container. Be sure storage container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the flameout control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system often.

NOTE: If you use more than one heater, provide extra fresh air. Provide a fresh air opening of at least three square feet for each 100,000 Btu/Hr rating.
