KEROSENE (1- K Only) It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to the operation of this heater that you use the proper grade of kerosene. The proper grade of kerosene is identified as 1-K Kerosene. DO NOT OPERATE THIS HEATER WITH ANY FUEL OTHER THAN 1-K KEROSENE! 1-K Kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants such as sulphur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during operation of the heater. KEROSENE SHOULD ONLY BE STORED IN A BLUE CONTAINER THAT IS CLEARLY MARKED KEROSENE .
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING THE HEATER 1. REMOVE THE HEATER AND ALL PACKING MATERIALS FROM THE BOX.(Fig. 2) NOTE:Save the shipping carton and packing materials for future storage. Owner’s Manual 2.

FUELING YOUR HEATER NOTE : See section 3, page 3 on KEROSENE for instructions on the proper grade of kerosene to use with this heater. CAUTION : NEVER REMOVE THE CARTRIDGE TANK FROM THIS HEATER WHILE THE HEATER IS OPERATING OR WHILE THE HEATER IS STILL HOT. EXTINGUISH THE HEATER AND VERIFY THAT THE HEATER IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE REFUELING THE HEATER. NEVER REFILL THE CARTRIDGE FUEL TANK WHEN THE HEATER IS OPERATING OR STILL HOT.
AUTOMATIC IGNITION SYSTEM For safety and convenience, this heater features an automatic ignition system. 2 “D” cell batteries, included with the heater, provide the power for the igniter which lights the wick once it has been raised to its maximum height. When the heater is fueled for the first time, allow a minimum of 60 minutes after filling the heater for the wick to absorb kerosene before you attempt to light the heater.
ADJUSTING THE WICK After lighting the heater, it is important to check the heater flame within the first 5-7 minutes of operation. After 5-7 minutes of operation, you should use the wick adjuster knob to obtain the proper flame height (see Fig 8). IF THE FLAME IS TOO YELLOW, TURN THE WICK ADJUSTER KNOB DOWN SLIGHTLY UNTIL YOU GET THE YELLOW FLAME INDICATED IN FIG.8. IF THERE IS NO FLAME, OR A VERY LOW FLAME, TURN THE WICK ADJUSTER KNOB UP SLIGHTLY UNTIL YOU GET THE YELLOW FLAME INDICATED IN FIG.8.
NOTE : Carbon build-up on the wick may prevent the wick from completely lowering when the extinguish button is pushed. This can result In the flame not extinguishing. If this happens, continue to push the extinguish button and turn the wick adjuster knob in a counterclockwise direction (towards “OFF”) as far as it will go. If this condition exists, inspect the heater and perform the checks and maintenances described on page 9.
Inspect the batteries If the igniter filament does not get hot enough to ignite the wick and the igniter filament appears to be normal, replace the batteries. For best results use non-alkaline batteries only. Inspect the wick Inspect the wick before each use to see if carbon has accumulated on the wick. If it has, perform the Carbon Removal procedure described on page 9. Check the height of the wick as described on page 7. WICK FILAMENT 0.5~1mm 1/64~1/32 IGNITER Fig.
WICK REPLACEMENT Wick replacement should be performed on a completely cool heater after the cartridge tank has been removed and the remainder of the kerosene in the heater has been burned off.

Step 25 Step 26 Reinstall the cabinet. Step 24 Reinstall the wick adjusting knob. Close the front grille. Step 27 Install the batteries in the battery case, and fill the Cartridge tank with clean, pure kerosene.
CHECKING THE IGNITION SYSTEM If the automatic ignition system fails to operate properly, perform the following checks: - BATTERIES - 2 “D” cell batteries are located at the rear of the heater. Check for proper installation. And / or Replace with new batteries. - IGNITE R PLUG - If the automatic ignition system still doesn’t work after replacing the batteries, check the igniter plug. If the glow coil filament is broken, bent, or doesn’t glow when engaged via the ignition lever, it must be replaced.
TESTING THE AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF DEVICE: At least once a week during the heating season, it is important to test the safety shut-off device to be sure that it is operating properly. WITH THE HEATER TURNED OFF, raise the wick using the wick adjuster knob to the fully raised position. Grabbing the protective grille, give the heater a firm shake.
