8. PREPARING THE HEATER
8.4 FUELS
Use only standard Diesel or Kerosene heater oil according to EN 267.
WARNING: Never use petrol, oil, used oils, naphtha, paint thinners, alcohol or other highly
flammable fuels. Using incorrect fuel may cause danger of explosion and death.
IMPORTANT: Be sure fuel tank is clean. Foreign matter such as rust, dirt, or water will cause
the ignition control assembly to shut down heater. Foreign matter may also require heater’s
fuel system to be frequently cleaned.
WARNING: Do not fill the fuel tank while the heater is running.
NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a black container that is clearly marked "kerosene".
Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is associated with petrol.
- NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated
area outside the living area.
- NEVER use fuel such as petrol, benzene, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel, paint
thinners, or other oil compounds in this heater (THESE ARE VOLATILE FUELS THAT CAN
CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION).
- 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 time. OLD KEROSENE WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.
8.5 FUELLING YOUR HEATER
Never fill the heater fuel tank in the living space: fill the tank outdoors.
Do not overfill your heater and be sure heater is level.
WARNING: Never refill fuel tank when heater is operating or still hot.
8.6 VENTILATION
CAUTION: Risk of indoor air pollution. Use heater only in well ventilated areas
Provide a fresh air opening of at least three (3) square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 30,000
kcal/Hr. rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heaters are being used.
Example: A 32284 heater requires one of the following:
1. A two-car garage door raised six inches (15.24 cm).
2. A single-car garage door raised nine inches (22.86 cm).
3. Two, thirty inch (76.20 cm) windows raised fifteen inches (38.1 cm).
WARNING: Never try to use the heater for the purpose of heating residential rooms.
