FUELING YOUR HEATER

NEVER FILL THE HEATER FUEL TANK IN THE LIVING SPACE:
FILL THE TANK OUTDOORS.
Before fueling the heater, take the heater, the kerosene, and the manual
siphon pump outdoors. To use the manual siphon pump, tighten the cap
on the top of the siphon, place the straight tube into the kerosene
container, and insert the flexible tube into the opening of the fuel tank. By
squeezing the bulb of the siphon pump, fuel will be transferred from the
kerosene container into the heater tank. (Fig. 7) Carefully watch the fuel
gauge beside of the opening of the fuel tank so that you will know when
the tank is getting full. When you approach the full mark, loosen the cap
on top of the siphon pump. This will stop the flow of kerosene. DO NOT
OVERFILL YOUR HEATER. Allow the siphon pump to drain thoroughly

before you remove it from the tank and the kerosene container.
After fueling the fuel tank of the heater by using siphon pump, make sure
Loosen
that you loosen (counter clock wise) the cap on the siphon pump to drain
throughly the remaining kerosene in the siphon pump. For the reuse of
siphon pump, make sure that you
Tighten
tighten (clock wise) the cap on the siphon pump to transfer the kerosene
into the fuel tank properly. (Fig.11)
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FUELING OF THE HEATER :
When fueling your heater for the first
Fig. 8
time and any other time when the tank has been completely empty, as in
"Dry Burning" (page 8) make sure
to allow the wick to soak a minimum 60 minutes before you attempt
to light the heater. (Take note of the
time you started to soak the wick or use a kitchen timer or wrist
watch with an alarm feature) Failure to
properly soak the wick can trap air pockets in the wick causing the heater
to burn poorly.
Premature ignition can destory your wick.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER
The first time you light your heater there may be some odor due to the
burning off of oils used in the
manufacturing process. To avoid this you may wish to burn the heater
outside on a calm and windless day.
If it s windy consider a porch or garage or other room where the
windows can be open to disperse the odor.
