4. Remove the siphon carefully, allowing the excess kerosene to drain from thetube back into container. Replace the fuel tank
cap and tighten it securely. Be sure to wipe away any spilled kerosene from tank or other heater parts.
CHECK BEFORE LIGHTING
1. LOCATE YOUR HEATER AWAY FROM WALLS AND AVOID DRAFTS
Allow at least three (3) feet of clearance between the heater and walls, curtains, shelving or other combustible materials. Do
not operate your heater in drafty areas or locations where opening doors may create gusts of air. Drafts or strong air currents
may make flame unstable and affect heater performance.
2. LEVEL THE HEATER
The heater should be operated on a firm, Ievel floor.
NOTE: lf your heater is not level, change Iocations. Do not attempt to prop it
up with books or other objects. An unlevel heater may burn with an uneven flame.
LIGHTING
NOTE: When you first use your new heater, ignite it out of the living area of your house, either in a garage
or an outside area protected from strong drafts. Burn it for about 15 minutes to remove all of the protective oil present
on the burner parts. lf this 15 minute "burn-in" is done inside, some objectionable odor will be observed. This
procedure is necessary ONLY THE FIRST TIME you ignite your heater.
NOTE: lf you have fueled your heater for the first time, or if you are refueling it after it has been out of fuel
for a long time, you will need to wait about thirty (30) minutes for the wick to become fully saturated before Iighting.
Failure to allow enough time for the wick to become fully saturated may cause permanent damage to the wick when
it is lighted.
