for kerosene, (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly

marked "Kerosene". NEVER store kerosene in

the living space; kerosene should be stored in a

well ventilated place outside the living area.

! The unit is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.

Due to high surface temperatures, keep

children, clothing, furniture, and other

combustible objects at least 36" away from top

and front area.

RISK OF IN DOOR AIR POLLUTION

USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED

AREAS. People with breathing problems should consult

a physician before using the heater. In a house of typical

construction, that is, one that is not of unusually tight

construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals against

air infiltration, an adequate supply of air for combustion and

ventilation is provided through infiltration; however, if the

heater is used in a small room where less than 200 cubic

feet (5.7 m of air space is provided for each 1,000 BTU per

hour of heater rating (considering the maximum burner

adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent room(s) should be kept

open or the window to the outside should be opened at

least 1 inch (25.4 mm) to guard against potential buildup of

indoor air pollution. DO NOT use the heater in a bathroom

or any other small room with the door closed.

! NEVER use heater to heat or boil water or use as a

cooking appliance.

TO MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS MAY

RESULT IN CONDITIONS WHICH CAN PRODUCE

BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT instructions

appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all

possible conditions and situations that may occur. It

must be understood that common sense, caution, and

carefulness are factors which cannot be built into this

heater. These factors must be supplied by the person(s)

installing, maintaining, or operating the kerosene heater.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service

agent, or the manufacturer on any problems or

conditions you do not understand.

NEVER leave heater operating if you intend to leave for

any period of time. Always make sure to turn heater off

and inspect to insure that it is completely extinguished

prior to going to bed.

! NEVER

place objects on the top plate.

! NEVER

WARNING!! RISK OF BURNS

operate the heater without the guard or

! NEVER

grille completely attlached.

IF POOR QUALITY KEROSENE is used a rapid

accumulation of carbon and tar is likely. This may cause

a strong odor and will destroy the wick. Additional

heater damage may occur as the wick becomes more

difficult to adjust. The use of poor quality fuel could also

make the wick very hard to extinguish. Always make

sure the fire is out. (See page 12, Extinguishing the

Heater.)

ADJUSTMENT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE can not be

changed by adjusting the heater. A Kerosene heater is

either on or off. There is no temperature adjustment. If

heater output is reduced by lowering the wick in any

way, improper combustion will occur producing odors

and an accumulation of tar and carbon. If your room

becomes too hot, open a door or a window or turn off the

heater.
