OPERATION

VENTILATIONWARNING: Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire or explosion. Never use gaso- line, naphtha, paint thinners, al- cohol, 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 a clogged fuel filter and/or nozzle.

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

OPERATION Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation require- ments. If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not provided, car- bon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide proper fresh, out- side air ventilation before run- ning heater.

Provide at least a three-square-foot opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000 Btu/Hr rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heat- ers are being used.

Example: A 70,000 Btu/Hr heater requires one of the following:

a two-car garage door (16 feet wide open- ing) raised two inches

a single-car garage door (9 feet wide opening) raised three inches

two windows (30 inches wide opening) raised six inches
