FUELING THE HEATER

Make certain the heater is level. Remove the fuel cap and ll the fuel tank with clean kerosene for opmal performance of this

heater. This heater has been factory approved for use with JP8/Jet A, #1 and #2 Fuel Oil, #1 and #2 Diesel. Diesel does not burn

as clean as 1-K kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air venlaon to accommodate any added contaminants

that may be produced during operaon of the heater. In extreme cold temperatures, it is recommended a fuel stabilizer formulated

to remove condensaon and to prevent the fuel from gelling be added to the fuel tank. Do not overll the fuel tank. Replace the

fuel cap aer lling the fuel tank.

• NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well venlated area outside the living area.

• NEVER store kerosene in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.

• NEVER use kerosene that has been stored from one season to the next. Kerosene deteriorates over me. OLD KEROSENE

WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

• Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel is a suitable substute.
