1. Never use any fuel other than clean kerosene (paraffin).
Never use gasoline (petrol). Use of gasoline (petrol) can lead to uncontrollable flames resulting in a
destructive fire. Even kerosene (paraffin) contaminated with small amounts of gasoline (petrol), or
similarly volatile materials, can be hazardous. Never use for kerosene (paraffin) a can that has
previously been used for gasoline (petrol), paint thinner, or solvents.
2. Never refill heater fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot. To do so may cause a"flash back"
of flame to the fuel container, resulting in injury to yourself and your property.
3. Never use heater in areas where flammable vapors or gases may be present.Especially avoid use of
heater where gasoline (petrol), naphtha, acetone or other volatile solvents are in the air, or whose
containers are open. Such vapors could be ignited by the heater, resulting in fire and/or explosion.
4. Never fill heater fuel tank in living space. Fill heater tank outdoors. Never overfillyour heater.
Always replace heater tank cap securely after refueling. Spillage of kerosene (paraffin) produces
strong odor which is hard to remove. Spillage on carpet can be ignited if match or some other
ignition source contacts it.
5. Never store or transport kerosene (paraffin) in other than a metal or plastic containerthat is (1)
acceptable for kerosene (paraffin), (2) non-red in color, and (3) clearly marked, "KEROSENE
(PARAFFIN)". Never store kerosene (paraffin) in the living space. Picking up a gasoline (petrol) can
by mistake when fueling is a major cause of heater fires.

1. Observe the heater carefully for fifteen to twenty (15-20) minutes after start-up.Problems of
improper adjustment of wick height or improperly seated heat chamber should become evident
during this warm up period.
NOTE: Carefully follow the instructions for lighting and adjusting the flame.
2. Due to high surface temperatures, keep away from children, furniture and clothing.
