CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE heater without support frame assembled to tank.

NOTE: Heater should be inspected before each use, and at least annually by a qualied service person.

4. FUELS

For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has

been rened to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulpher. Which can cause a rotten egg odor during

the operation of the heater. However, #1/#2 diesel/fuel oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels may also be used if 1-K

keroseneis not available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K kerosene, and care should

be taken to provide more fresh air ventilation to accomodate any added contaminants that may be added to

the heated space. #2 diesel/fuel oil heavier than 1-K kerosene in extreme cold temperatures without non

toxic anti-icer additives will not ignite properly.

NEVER store kerosene in the living space. Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated place outside the

living area.

NEVER use any fuel other than 1-K kerosene (#1/#2 diesel/fuel oil, JET A or JP-8 fuels are acceptable substitutes)

NEVER use fuel such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel, paint thinners, or other oil

compounds in this heater. These are volatile fuels that can cause an explosion or uncontrolled

ames.

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.

KEROSENE SHOULD ONLY BE STORED IN A BLUE CONTAINER THAT IS CLEARLY

MARKED “KEROSENE”. NEVER STORE KEROSENE IN A RED CONTAINER.

Red containers are associated with gasoline.

“OLD KEROSENE” WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER

UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!

5. OVERVIEW OF HEATER’S DESIGN

Fuel System: This heater is equipped with an electric

air pump that forces air through the air

line connected to the fuel intake and then

through a nozzle in the burner head.

When the air passes in front of the fuel

intake it causes fuel to rise from the tank

and into the burner nozzle. This fuel and

air mixture is then sprayed into the

combustion chamber in a ne mist.

“Sure Fire Ignition” : The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially designed spark plug.

The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture described above.

The Air System : The heavy duty motor turns a fan that forces air into and around the combustion chamber.

Here the air is heated and then forced out the front of the heater.

The Safety System :

A. Temperature Limit Control : This heater is equipped with a Temperature Limit Control designed to turn

off the heater should the internal temperature rise to an unsafe level. If this

device activates and turns your heater off it may require service.

B. Electrical System Protection : This heater’s electrical system is protected by a fuse mounted to the PCB

assembly that protects it and other electrical components from damage.

If your heater fails to operate check this fuse rst and replace as needed.

C. Flame-Out Sensor : Utilizes a photocell to monitor the ame in burn chamber during normal operation.

It will cause the heater to shut-off should the burner ame extinguish.

6. FUELING 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 LEVELED.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIRST IGNITION OF HEATER :

The rst time you light the heater, it should be done outdoors. This allows the oils, etc. used in

manufacturing the heater to burn off outside.

B.) OPERATION

TO START HEATER

1. Fill fuel tank with fuel.

NOTE : Kerosene is recommended when the temperature drops below 0℉(-18℃) to prevent

ignition delay or failure.

2. Attach fuel cap.

3. Plug power cord of heater into three-prong, grounded extension cord. Extension cord must be at

least six feet long.

Extension Cord Wire Size Requirements

• 6 to 100 feet (1.8 to 30.5 meters) long, use 16 AWG conductor.

• 101 to 200 feet (30.8 to 61 meters) long, use 14 AWG conductor.

4. Turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL knob” to desired setting (setting range : 40˚F ~ 110˚F)

(KFA80H/135H/220H Models Only)

5. Push “BTU control Switch” to “High” level. (See Figure 8.) (KFA220H Model Only)

6. Push Power Switch to “ON” position, Power lndicator Lamp will light and heater will start.

7. After startup, push “BTU control switch” to desired level “High or Low”

NOTE: Room Temperature display explanations are as follows: (KFA135H/KFA220H Models only)

  • Whentheroomtemperatureisless0℉,theLEDdisplaywillshow“Lo”

  • Whenroomtempisbetween0℉and99℉,thenumbershownonthedisplayisthecurrent

room temperature.

  • Whenroomtemperatureisgreaterthan99℉,theLEDdisplaywillshow“Hi”

If heater does not start, the thermostat setting may be too low, turn “thermostat Control Knob” to

higher position to start heater. If heater still does not start, turn power switch to “OFF” and then to

“ON” position. If heater still does not start, see Troubleshootiong Guide on page15.

NOTE : User can select to operate the heater on two different BTU levels(High or Low). To stabilize heater

and prevent ignition delay, select BTU level after turning the heater on, or while it is in operation by

pushing the BTU control switch. If the heater is started at low BTU level in cold weather or low fuel

tank, ignition failure can occur.

NOTE:Incoldweather,ignitionmaybeimprovedbyholdingangerovertheendofthereliefvalveorblock

fanguard in half with newspaper etc. until the heater ignites.

7. OPERATION

A.) VENTILATION

RISK OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION/USE HEATER ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.

Provide a fresh air opening of at least three square feet (2,800 sq. cm) for each 100,000 BTU/Hr.

rating. Provide extra fresh air if more heaters are being used.

Example : A KFA220H heater requires one of the following:

• a two-car garage door raised six inches (15.24 cm)

• a single-car garage door raised nine inches (22.86 cm)

• two, thirty-inch (76.20 cm) windows raised fteen inches (38.1 cm)

WARNING!! : NEVER REFILL HEATER FUEL TANK WHEN HEATER IS OPERATING OR STILL HOT.

NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER

UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!

NOTICE : The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a safety fuse mounted to the PCBboard.

   Ifyourheaterfailstostart,checkthisfuserstandreplaceasnecessary.Youshouldalsocheckyour

power source to insure that proper voltage and frequency are being supplied to the heater.

TO STOP HEATER

1. Turn switch to “OFF” and unplug power cord.

TO RESTART HEATER

1. Wait 10 seconds after stopping heater.

2. Repeat steps under to start heater.

PIGGYBACK POWER CORD

WARNING : SHOCK HAZARD!

• Always cover electric outlet when not in use.

• Don’t plug and use a appliance more than 120V/60Hz 5A

current in this outlet.

8. LONG TERM STORAGE OF YOUR HEATER

FUEL TANK DRAIN

1. Drain fuel tank through fuel cap opening.

(For KFA50H/80H Models Only)

2. Remove fuel drain bolt from rear bottom side of fuel tank using 3/4” socket or adjustable wrench and drain.

(For KFA135H/220H Models Only. See Figure 10)

3. Using a small amount of kerosene, swirl and rinse the inside of the tank.

NEVER mix water with the kerosene as it will cause rust inside the tank.

Pour the kerosene out making sure that you remove it all.

IMPORTANT : Do not store kerosene over summer months for use during next heating season.

Using old fuel could damage heater.

4. Reinstall fuel cap. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel. (For

KFA50H/80H Models Only)

5. Reinstall fuel drain bolt to Fuel tank and tighten rmly using 3/4”

socket or adjustable wrench.

(For KFA135H/220H Models Only. See Figure 10)

IMPORTANT : Before reinstalling the fuel drain bolt, make sure the

seal is on the bolt. If the seal is not used the bolt can

not be installed correctly and the fuel tank will leak.

6. Store heater in dry well ventilated area. Make sure storage place is free of dust and corrosive fumes.

7. Store the heater in the original box with the original packing material and keep the USER’S MANUAL

with the heater.
