COMBUSTION AND VENTILATING AIR FOR UNVENTED HEATERS:
In a house of typical construction , that is, one that is not of unusually tight construction due to heavy
insulation and tight seal 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
c ubic feet (5.71li3 ) 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 theo utside sho uld be opened at least 1 inch (25.4mm) 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.

2 -FUEL GUIDEA WARNING:USE ONLY WATER CLEAR N0.1-K KEROSENE (ASTM 1-K) OR SYNTHETIC FUELS FOR USE WITH
KEROSENE-FIRED PORTABLE HEATERS. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE FUELS THATWILL DANGEROUSLY INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRE.
DO NOT USE KEROSENE OR SYNTHETIC FUEL THAT IS DEGENERATED, CONTAMINATED BY IMPURITIES,OR CONTAINS WATER IN YOUR HEATER.
Degenerated or contaminated kerosene or synthetic fuel refers to;• Fuel that has been carried over from the previous season.
• Fuel that has been stored in the sun for a long period of time.
• Fuel that has been stored with its container cover left open for a long period of time.
• Fuel that is contaminated by water, dust, oil other than kerosene or synthetic fuel, even if only
by a very small quantity.
•

Degenerated or contaminated kerosene or synthetic fuel is yellowish in color or smells like acid.

If your heater is fueled by degenerated or contaminated fuel:•The wick rapidly accumulate large amounts of tar.

•

The wick won't move up and down easily, and the heater cannot be ignited or extinguishedreadily;•

The burner chimney won't heat to redness satisfactorily, resulting in a decrease in heat output;•

The heater will give out an offensive smell;•

Water contaminated fuel will restrict the fuel flow through the wick and cause the flame toextinguish;• The use of highly volatile fuels, such as gasoline and paint thinner, may result uncontrollable fire;
What to do should the fuel tank be filled with degenerated or contaminated fuel:•Drain degenerated or contaminated fuel out of the fuel tank completely.

•

Wash the fuel tank in clean 1-K kerosene or synthetic fuel two or three times.

•

Repair or replace the wick, following the instructions given on page 9.

5 -MAKING PRELIMINARY CHECKS BEFORE LIGHTING
1.

Check the heater to make sure that all packing materials are removed from it (see page 4, 6) ofsection 1 showing where the packing materials are in the heater).

2. Check the grille guard to make sure that it is securely fixed.
3. Check the periphery of the heater to make sure that there are no combustibles or obstacles present
within the range indicated below.

4. Check the heater to make sure that it is placed level. Otherwise the heater won't function properly.

LIGHTING YOUR HEATER
When you use the heater for the first time or after cleaning it or replacing the wick, wait at least 30
minutes before lighting it. Failure to allow sufficient time for the wick to absorb fuel in quantity sufficient
to function properly will cause the flame to be too low and can damage the wick.

1. Lighting heater by means of ignition lever
1) Push down the ignition lever slowly until it comes to a stop. The wick control lever will go down
concurrently. The heater will ignite automatically.

2) Release the ignition lever after making sure that the heater has started to bum. The ignition
lever will return to the original position automatically.
Note: If the heater just gives out white smoke and fails to start burning, loosen your pressure
on the ignition lever slightly and the heater can ignite.

2. Lighting heater manually
1) Open the grille guard and push down the wick control lever slowly until it comes to a stop to
keep the wick raised to the fully.
2) Lift up the chimney handle as illustrated and light the wick with a match.

Note: Do not drop a match end insi de the assembly.

3) Close the grille guard.

-

6 -3. Checking after ignition
When the heater ignites, move the chimney handle from side to side lightly to make sure that theburner chimney is seated correctly. Failure to seat the burner correctly will cause severe smoke andsoot production. And if allowed to remain in this condition for unextended period of time will partially ,clog the burner and may seriously damage the heater.

A WARNING: IN THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE HEATER, THE OWNER MUST MONITOR THE

HEATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO BE SURE HEATER IS WORKING PROP·ERLY AND AVOID ANY ABNORMAL BURNING.

ADJUSTING WICK DURING OPERATION
If the flame rises too high partially or red heat spreads unevenly 15-20 minutes after the heater has
been ignited, shake the chimney handle from side to side two or three times.
CAUTION:

USE CARE TO MOVE THE CHIMNEY HANDLE WHICH IS HEATED WHILE THE HEATER IS
IN OPERATION.

If the flame continues to rise too high, adjust the wick by raising the wick control lever slowly.
The flame grows bigger when the wick control lever is lowered and it grows smaller when the lever israised.
To adjust the wick properly, keep your eyes on the condition of the flame and the red glow (seeillustration below).

NOTE: Smoke and odor will result if the heater is operated with the flame too high or too low.
If the flame remains too high, shake the chimney handle from side to side two or three times.
CAUTION:

The wick control lever is designed to be adjusted only within a limited range. Adjust thewick control lever gently and slowly within the limited range. Do not force the lever beyond
this range or damage to the heater may result If room temperature becomes too hot, either
turn off the heater for a while, or increase air ventilation.

TURNING YOUR HEATER OFF
Depress the "Shut-off' button. The wick control lever should automatically return to the "OFF" position.

lk

CAUTION:

Do not try to extinguish the heater by raising the control lever. Forcing the lever could
damage the heater.

-

7 -If the heater does not extinguish after pressing the "Shut-off" button, the wick may be lowered by pressing the "Shut-off" button while simultaneously raising the wick control lever.
These two operations must be done simultaneously to avoid damage to the heater.

IMPORTANT:

If this method must be used to extinguish the heater, take it to the nearest authorized
service center for servicing before attempting to use the heater.

IMPORTANT:

After depressing the "Shut-off" button, always make sure the wick control lever is in the"OFF" position and the flame is completely out.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REIGNITING YOUR HEATER AFTER BEING PUT OUT
If the heater is reignited immediately after it has been extinguished, the burner chimney will become
hot and give off an odor. It is advisable to wait for about 5 minutes after extinguishing the heater inorder to allow the burner chimney to cool down before reigniting it.

DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:LET THE EXTINGUISHED HEATER COOL SATISFACTORILY BEFORE MAKING INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE WORK.

1. Checking Heater and Its Periphery - - Each time before use
1) Check the base plate and the fuel tank from time to time to see if there are any oil leakages,
spills or blots.
2) Always keep the heater combustion surfaces including the glass burner cylinder clean using a soft
cloth to avoid the damage. If the glass cylinder is cracked or broken, replace with a new one(see page 13).
3) Always keep the heater clean . Especially wipe heater clean of kerosene smudges to avoid
unpleasant odors.
4) Do not leave combustibles near the heater.

2. Wick Guide Assembly - - Check once a month
Cinders will accumulate over time at the part of the wick guide assembly where the burnerchimney is placed . These accumulated cinders may preclude the burner chimney from being seatedproperly, having adverse effects on combustion. If this is the case, remove the burner chimney andclean cinders off the assembly.
Take care not t o let cinders drop into the wick guide grooves.
Scrape off cinders with the tip of a "Minus" (flat blade) screwdriver.

3. Wick - - Check once a week
Carbon and tar will attach over time to the upper part of the wick, causing a delay in the spreadof the flame or making the heater burn poorly.

-

8 -If these substances are left uncleaned, the heater will. be unable to perform fully as it develops thefollowing troubles:• The wick will not light readily;• The heater wi ll give off an offensive smell ;• The heater will suffer from a decline in thermal output ;• The wick won't move up and down easily ;• It will take a lot of time from the ignition of the heater to the state of complete combustion.
In the event of any of these problems, clean the wick in accordance with the following procedure.
Once a week is recommended during seasons of heavy use. We recommend that you replace thewick with a new one each season.
How to clean the wick:)\1) Take the heater outdoors on a windless day.

2) Remove the cartridge tank from the heater.
3) Ignite the heater letting it burn at full capacity.
4) Keep the heater burning until the fuel runs out and the flame dies out naturally.
5) If the wick is hardened due to the presence of degenerated or contaminated fuel, cleaning it once
is not enough to eliminate its carbon content entirely. So clean the wick two or three times.
6) After you have cleaned the wick, put the cartridge tank back in the heater. Wait 30 minutes or
longer to allow the wick to absorb fuel fully, and then ignite the heater.
7) If cleaning does not work an improvement in the wick and remains hard at its upper part, thenreplace it with a new one as described in "How to Replace Parts" on page 10.

4. Automatic Shut-off System- - Check once or twice a month
1) Check the automatic shut-off system once or twice a month according to the following procedure:a. Remove the batteries.
b. Raise the wick by pushing down the wick control lever until it comes to a stop.
c . Move the left-hand side of the base plate to makethe automatic shut-off system works properly.

sure thatthe pendulum falls

and2) The shock detector section of the system will be adversely affected by dust, litter, or otherforeign matter attached to it. Keep the unit clean using a soft cloth .
Pendulumjl

5. Glow Plug - - Check once a month or each time before use
1) The glow plug is designed t o meet the wi ck when the wick comes out 10.5mm (13/32")-

9 -2) The wick cannot be lighted easily if the filament of the glow plug is out of position relative tothe wick. When you find it difficult to light t he wick, check the filament for deformation,
disconnection, or any gap relative to the wick.

(Dimensions as the wick raised)

Filament of varied
configurationI3) If the filament is deformed, set it right using a tooth-pick or some other proper tool.

~4) Replace the unmendable or broken filament with a new one (see page 12).

6. Batteries - - Each time before use
The continued use of batteries will make the glow plug too weak to light the wick. Replace suchbatteries with new ones.

7. Ignition System - - Each time before use
If the ignition system does not work properly even after the batteries and glow plug have been
replaced, please contact an authorized service center or dealer.
