Page 24: Operation
Operation Diesel (1-K Kerosene) For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used, 1-K kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur. Which can cause a rotten egg odour during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil - Diesel may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not available.
Page 25 Operation Electrical System Protection The heater’s electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker that protects the system components from damage. If the heater fails, check the fuse first, and replace if necessary. Flame Sensor The heater uses a photocell to see the flame in the combustion chamber. Should the flame extin- guish, the sensor will stop electrical current and the heater will shut off.
