DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
– Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. Use heater only in well-ventilated areas.
– Refer to Safety Information on pages 2-3 for information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
– ALWAYS provide a fresh air opening in the heated space of at least 2,800 square centimeters (3 sq. ft) for each 100,00 Btu/Hr. (29 kW) of heater output. Provide a
larger opening if more heaters are being used.

Starting the Heater (Ignition):
1. Fill the tank with Kerosene or other approved fuel until the needle on the fuel gauge points to “F”.
2. Replace fuel cap and tighten firmly.
3. Connect the heater to a three-prong (grounded) power source. You must use a three-prong (grounded) extension cord that is at least 1.8 meters long and is a
minimum of 14 AWG rating.
NOTE: On the first ignition or after refueling, you may hear a grinding sound just before ignition. This is the fuel pump removing the air from the fuel line.
Your heater will start up within seconds. If it does not start repeat start-up procedures with fuel gauge reading at least 1/2 tank.
NOTE: Smoking may occur on first ignition.
NOTE: The electrical components of these
heaters are protected by a fuse mounted in the PC board. If the heater fails to ignite, check this fuse first and replace if necessary. Also check the power source to be
sure the proper voltage is being provided to the heater.
1. Complete steps 1-3 above.
2. Push the power switch to the “ON” position.
The power indicator lamp will light and the heater will ignite (see Figure 10).
Stopping the Heater (Cool Down):
1. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.
Combustion will stop and the Cooling Cycle will begin.
– 80-OFR: approx. 5 mins
– 125-OFR-A: approx 3 mins
When the Cooling Cycle is complete the fan will stop running and it will be safe to unplug the heater.
NOTE: Unplugging the heater before the Cooling Cycle has been completed may cause overheating, possible damage to the heater and heat plate.
WARNING
DO NOT disconnect the heater from the power source before the cooling cycle has been completed.
Restarting the Heater:
1. Wait ten seconds after Cooling Cycle has been completed.
2. Follow all start-up procedures above.
Electrical Outlet (80-OFR Only):
– Never plug an appliance with more than a 5 amp rating into this outlet (see Figure 11).
– Always keep outlet covered when not in use
