Figure 9. Assembling BTU Control Valve (RMC-KFA210TDGD-01 Model Only)

KEROSENE (1-K)
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulpher. Which can cause a rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 diesel/fuel oil may also be used if 1-K kerosene is 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.

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.

• 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 fuel oil is an acceptable substitute.)
• 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 flames.
• 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. “OLD KEROSENE” WILL NOT BURN PROPERLY IN THIS HEATER.

OVERVIEW OF HEATERS 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 fine 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

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.

MODELS| Internal Shut-Off Temp.

Plus/Minus 10 Degrees

| Reset Temperature

Plus/Minus 10 Degrees

---|---|---
RMC-KFA45DGD/75TDGD| 176˚F/80˚C| 122˚F/50˚C
RMC-KFA125/170TDGD| 230˚F/110˚C| 194˚F/90˚C
RMC-KFA210TDGD/210TDGD-1| 194˚F/90˚C| 140˚F/60˚C

Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature you will be able to start your heater.

• Electrical System Protection : This heaters 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 first and replace as needed.

• Flame-Out Sensor : Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in burn chamber during normal operation. It will cause the heater to shut-off should the burner flame extinguish.

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 first time you light the heater, it should be done outdoors. This allows the oils, etc. used in manufacturing the heater to burn off outside.

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

OPERATION

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 RMC-KFA210TDGD/210TDGD-01 heaters require 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 fifteen inches (38.1 cm)

OPERATION

TO START HEATER

1. Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.

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 10 feet (1.8 to 3 meters) long, use 18 AWG conductor.
   • 11 to 100 feet (3.4 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)
   (RMC-KFA75/125/170/210TDGD/210TDGD-01 Models Only)

5. Turn “BTU control Knob” to desired level “High or LOW” (KFA210TDGD-01 Model only, See Figure 10.)

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

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,

NOTE : User can change BTU LEVEL “High or Low” while in operation by turning BTU Control Knob. If heater is operated by HIGH BTU LEVEL, Turn BTU Control Knob 90 to clockwise.
If heater is operated by LOW BTU LEVEL, Turn BTU Control Knob 90 to counter clockwise.

Figure 10. Controls for All Models

NOTICE : The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a safety fuse mounted to the PCB board. If your heater fails to start, check this fuse first 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.

LONG TERM STORAGE OF YOUR HEATER FUEL TANK DRAIN

2. Remove drain plug from rear bottom side of fuel tank by pulling plug grip downward and drain.(For RMC-KFA125/170/210TDGD/210TDGD-01 Models Only. See Figure 11)

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 RMC-KFA45DGD/75TDGD Models Only)

5. Reinstall Drain Plug as follows.
   (For RMC-KFA125/170/210TDGD//210TDGD-01 Models Only. See Figure 12)

   • Insert plug’s seal head fully into drain hole so that flange is flush to tank’s bottom.
   • Insert seal cap fully into head hole so that cap flange is flush to head flange.
   • IMPORTANT : Reinstall plug fully into hole in tank, Otherwise it will not seal completely.
