Use only kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil to avoid risk of fire or
explosion. Never use gasoline, naphtha, paint thinners,
alcohol, or other highly flammable fuels.
Do not use heavy fuels such as No. 2 fuel oil or No. 2 Diesel. Using heavy fuels
will result in:
• clogged fuel filter and nozzle
• carbon build up on spark plug
• the need of non-toxic anti-icer in fuel during very cold weather
IMPORTANT: Use a KEROSENE ONLY storage container. Be sure storage
container is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause the flame-
out control to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require you to clean fuel
system often.
Follow the minimum fresh, outside air ventilation
requirements. If proper fresh, outside air ventilation is not
provided, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. Provide
proper fresh, outside air ventilation before running heater.
Provide at least a three-square-foot opening of fresh, outside air for each 100,000
Btu/Hr rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heaters are being used.
Example: A 50,000 Btu/Hr heater requires one of the following:
• a two-car garage door (sixteen foot width) raised at least two inches
• a single-car garage door (nine foot width) raised at least three inches
• two, thirty-inch windows raised at least four inches
