Fresh Air Opening RequirementsWARNING

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

carbon build-up on spark plug

the need of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather

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