Fueling Your Heater - PASECO WKH-2310 Owner's Manual

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER
UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!

FUELING YOUR HEATER

NEVER FILL THE HEATER FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE:
FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS.
Before fueling the heater, take the heater, the kerosene, and the manual
siphon pump outdoors. To use the manual siphon pump, tighten the cap
on the top of the siphon, place the straight tube into the kerosene
container, and insert the flexible tube into the opening of the fuel tank. By
squeezing the bulb of the siphon pump, fuel will be transferred from the
kerosene container into the heater tank. (Fig. 5) Carefully watch the fuel
gauge beside of the opening of the fuel tank so that you will know when
the tank is getting full. When you approach the full mark, loosen the cap
on top of the siphon pump. This will stop the flow of kerosene. DO NOT
OVERFILL YOUR HEATER. Allow the siphon pump to drain thoroughly
before you remove it from the tank and the kerosene container.
After fueling the fuel tank of the heater by using siphon pump, make sure
that you loosen (counter clock wise) the cap on the siphon pump to drain
throughly the remaining kerosene in the siphon pump. For the reuse of
siphon pump, make sure that you tighten (clock wise) the cap on the
siphon pump to transfer the kerosene into the fuel tank properly. (Fig.6)
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FUELING OF THE HEATER :
When fueling your heater for the first time and any other time when the
tank has been completely empty, as in "Dry Burning" (page 7) make
sure to allow the wick to soak a minimum 60 minutes before you
attempt to light the heater. (Take note of the time you started to soak
the wick or use a kitchen timer or wrist watch with an alarm feature)
Failure to properly soak the wick can trap air pockets in the wick causing
the heater to burn poorly. Premature ignition can destroy your wick.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER
The first time you light your heater there may be some odor due to the
burning off of oils used in the manufacturing process. To avoid this
you may wish to burn the heater outside on a calm and windless day.
If it s windy consider a porch or garage or other room where the
windows can be opened to disperse the odor.
