VENTILATION

!WARNING

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 nontoxic 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 the burner control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel system often.

!WARNING

Follow the minimum 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.

Provide a fresh air opening of at least 4 1/2 square feet (4,180 square cm). Provide extra fresh air if more heaters are being used.

Example: A 150,000 Btu/Hr heater requires one of the following:

•a two-car garage door [16 feet (5 meter) wide opening] raised 3.5 inches (8.9 cm)

•a single-car garage door [9 feet (2.75 meter) wide opening] raised 6 inches (15.25 cm)

•two, thirty-inch (76.2 cm) wide opening windows raised 11 inches (28 cm)
