Due to the increased density of #2 & #1 oil at colder temperatures, kerosene fuel must be used or the oil nozzle change as follows at temperatures below 8°F/-10°C.Frost Fighter heaters are factory shipped with these nozzles to ensure reliable operation in cold ambient conditions up to 2000 ft. (600 m.) above sea level.
Ensure the switch is in the “OFF” position. Check fuel level (4 gallons to start). Plug in supply cord to 115 VAC outlet with sufficient capacity rating. (20A for IDH500QR). Flip the switch to "MANUAL" position or "THERMOSTAT" position for use with a thermostat connected.
IDH MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Heaters should be fully serviced annually to ensure proper performance. Maintenance should be performed by trained personnel only. Incorrect maintenance may result in improper operation and serious injury. HIGH LIMIT SWITCH It is recommended that the limit switch be checked every heating season to ensure the burner will shut down if temperature exceeds 220 F.

FAN TEMPERATURE FEELER ADJUSTMENT THE TEMPERATURE FEELER IS ATTACHED TO THE FAN SWITCH. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE TEMPERATURE FEELER IS TOUCHING THE HEAT EXCHANGER!! The temperature feeler provides air flow over the fan switch, which regulates the cycling of the fan. The temperature feeler can be adjusted for different outside temperatures, by rotating the location of the temperature feeler holes.
