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 qualified 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 refined 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.
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/#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 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 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 fine mist.

DYNA GLO PRO KFA50H Kerosene Portable Forced Air Heaters - Fuel
System

“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.

MODELS| Internal Shut-Off Temp.
Plus/Minus 10 Degrees| Reset Temperature
Plus/Minus 10 Degrees
---|---|---
KFA50H| 176˚F/80˚C| 122˚F/50˚C
KFA80H| 158˚F/70˚C| 104˚F/40˚C
KFA135H| 158˚F/70˚C| 104˚F/40˚C
KFA220H| 194˚F/90˚C| 140˚F/60˚C

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 first and replace as needed.

FUSE TYPE: All Models 125 volt / 8 amps

C. 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.
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 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.
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 fifteen inches (38.1 cm)

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 finger over the end of the relief valve or block fanguard in half with newspaper etc. until the heater ignites.

Controls

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 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.

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. LONGTERM 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 firmly 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.
