Maintenance Tips

• Clear Air Inlets & Exhaust – Regularly brush or vacuum dust and debris from air intakes, exhaust openings, and fan guards to maintain airflow and efficient heat output. Blockages reduce performance and can overwork the fan and motor.

• Inspect & Clean Burners – With the heater off and cool, check the burner area and ignition electrodes for soot or buildup; gently clean with a soft brush to help reliable ignition and consistent flame.

• Check Fuel System – Periodically inspect fuel tank, lines, and filter for dirt, water, or contaminants; drain and flush the tank at season’s end and refill with clean kerosene or approved fuel to avoid clogging.

• Monitor Connections & Hardware – Before each use, check and tighten all electrical connections, clamps, and housing hardware so the heater operates safely and reliably.

• Use Quality Fuel – Use clean, high‑quality No. 1 K kerosene (recommended) for the cleanest burn with less odor and residue; poor fuel can lead to buildup and reduced heater life.

• Dry Storage Between Seasons – Store the heater in a dry, dust‑free area when not in use; drain fuel or fill tank per manual recommendations to reduce condensation and corrosion.
