Maintenance Tips

• Clear Air Inlets & Fan Guards – Regularly remove dust, debris, and lint from the intake, exhaust, and fan guards to maintain proper airflow and efficient forced‑air heating.

• Inspect & Clean Burner Area – With the unit off and fully cooled, gently brush soot and buildup from the burner and ignition area to support reliable starts and consistent heat.

• Check Fuel Lines & Filter – Periodically inspect the fuel supply line and filter; clean or replace if blocked to keep fuel flowing smoothly and reduce smoking or odor.

• Monitor Fuel Quality – Use clean No. 1‑K kerosene or approved fuels and drain/flush the tank at season end; water and contaminants shorten pump life and cause maintenance issues.

• Tighten Fasteners & Hardware – Before use, check and tighten loose bolts, hose clamps, and electrical connections to ensure stable, safe operation.

• Store Dry Between Seasons – Store the heater in a dry, dust‑free area when idle; at long‑term storage consider draining or filling the tank to minimize condensation inside the tank.
