UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
WARNING!! RISK OF EXPLOSION / RISK OF FIRE
use any fuel other than water-clear 1-K
! NEVER
kerosene or red dyed 1-K kerosene.
use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, paint
! NEVER
thinners or other oil compounds in this heater.

and (3) clearly marked "Kerosene". NEVER
store kerosene in the living space; kerosene
should be stored in a well ventilated place
outside the living area.
! The unit is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.
Due to high surface temperatures, keep children,
clothing, furniture, and other combustible objects at
least 36 away from top and front area.
RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION
!
USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED
AREAS. People with breathing problems should consult a
physician before using the heater. In a house of typical
construction, that is, one that is not of unusually tight
construction due to heavy insulation and tight seals
against air infiltration, an adequate supply of air for
combustion and ventilation is provided through infiltration;
however, if the heater is used in a small room where less
than 200 cubic feet (5.7 m of air space is provided for each
1,000 BTU per hour of heater rating (considering the
maximum burner adjustment), the door(s) to adjacent
room(s) should be kept open or the window to the outside
should be opened at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) to guard
against potential buildup of indoor air pollution. DO NOT
use the heater in a bathroom or any other small room with
the door closed.
! NEVER use heater to heat or boil water or use as a
cooking appliance.

place objects on the top plate.
! NEVER
WARNING!! RISK OF BURNS
operate the heater without the guard or grill
! NEVER
completely attached.
IF POOR QUALITY KEROSENE is used a rapid
accumulation of carbon and tar is likely. This may cause
a strong odor and will destroy the wick. Additional heater
damage may occur as the wick becomes more difficult to
adjust. The use of poor quality fuel could also make the
wick very hard to extinguish. Always make sure the fire is
out. (See page 12, Extinguishing the Heater.)
ADJUSTMENT OF ROOM TEMPERATURE cannot be
changed by adjusting the heater. A Kerosene heater is
either on or off. There is no temperature adjustment. If
heater output is reduced by lowering the wick in any way,
improper combustion will occur producing odors and an
accumulation of tar and carbon. If your room becomes
too hot, open a door or a window or turn off the heater.
