Never leave the heater unattended while burning!
Improper use of this heater can result in serious injury or death from
burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning.
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 sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) 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 accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated space. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil will require increased maintenance of the unit.
Risk of indoor air pollution!
- Use this heater only in well-ventilated areas! Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq. cm) opening of outside air for every 100,000 BTU/hr of heater rating.
- People with breathing problems should consult a physician before using the heater.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your heater may not be working properly.
- Get fresh air at once! Has the heater been serviced? Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems, anemia, or those under the influence of alcohol, or at high altitudes. – Never use this heater in living or sleeping areas.
Risk of Burns/Fire/Explosion!
- Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 fuel oil is a suitable substitute.
- NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners, or other oil compounds in this heater (RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION).
- NEVER use this heater where flammable vapors may be present.
- NEVER refill the heater’s fuel tank while the heater is operating or still hot. This heater is EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.

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 sulfur, which can cause a rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or #2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) 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 accommodate any added contaminants that may be added to the heated space.
Figure 5 – Wheel and Handle Assembly
NOTE: 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 area outside the living area.
- 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 A FIRE OR EXPLOSION).
- Use 1-K kerosene in this heater. #1 and #2 fuel oils are suitable substitutes.
- 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 DESIGN
Fuel System: This heater is equipped with a fuel pump (Gear) that pulls fuel through the fuel line connected to the fuel tank and then pushes fuel through a filter and a solenoid valve and out the burner head nozzle. This fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber in a fine mist.
“SureFire Ignition”: The electronic ignitor sends voltage to a specially
designed spark plug. The spark plug ignites the fuel and air mixture.
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
Internal Shut-Off Temperature +/-10 degrees| Reset Temperature +/-10
degrees
---|---
160°F (71°C)| 120°F (49°C)
The heater’s electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker mounted to
the power switch that protects PCB assembly and other electrical components
from damage.
C. Flame-Out Sensor: Utilizes a photocell to monitor the flame in the 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 the heater is leveled.
Important notice regarding the first ignition of the 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.
Never refill the fuel tank when the 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 twelve square feet.
NOTE: If more heaters are being used, provide a fresh air opening of at
least three square feet for each 100,000 BTU/Hr. rating.
Figure 6 – Overview of Heater Design
TO START HEATER
-
Fill fuel tank with kerosene or No. 1 fuel oil.
-

– When room temp. is less than 0°F: “Lo”.
– When room temp. is between 0°F and 99°F: Indicates room temperatures.
– When room temp. is more than 99°F: “HI”.
NOTE: The major electrical components of this heater are protected by a
circuit breaker mounted to the power switch. If your heater fails to start,
check this first and replace it 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
Never unplug the heater while the heater is running.
The heater must go through a cooling cycle. The cooling cycle cools the
combustion chamber. Damage to the heater can occur if the combustion chamber
is not cooled. Do not restart the heater until the cooling cycle is complete.
- Turn “THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB” to the lowest temperature setting. This will cause the heater flame to go out. The motor will continue to run during the cooling cycle. This allows the fan to cool the combustion chamber. When the cooling cycle (approx. 1 min.) is finished, the motor will stop. Do not turn the switch to “OFF” or unplug the heater until the cooling cycle is finished.
- Turn the switch to “OFF” and unplug the power cord.
- To temporarily stop the heater, set the thermostat at a temperature lower than the air around the heater. The heater will cycle back on if the air temperature around heater matches the thermostat setting.
TO RESTART HEATER
DO NOT restart the heater until the cooling cycle is finished.
The cooling cycle cools the combustion chamber.
- Wait until the cooling cycle is finished after stopping the heater.
- Repeat steps under TO START HEATER.
LONG-TERM STORAGE OF HEATER
-
Remove the drain plug from the rear bottom side of the fuel tank by pulling plug grip downward and drain. See Figure 8.

opinions or advice as to the choice, installation or use of products.
Product Suitability. Many jurisdictions have codes and regulations
governing sales, construction, installation, and/or use of products for
certain purposes, which may vary from those in neighboring areas. While
attempts are made to assure that Dayton products comply with such codes,
Dayton cannot guarantee compliance, and cannot be responsible for how the
product is installed or used. Before purchase and use of a product, review the
product applications, and all applicable national and local codes and
regulations, and be sure that the product, installation, and use will comply
with them.
Certain aspects of disclaimers are not applicable to consumer products; e.g.,
(a) some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you; (b) also, some jurisdictions do not allow a limitation on how long an
implied warranty lasts, consequently the above limitation may not apply to
you; and (c) by law, during the period of this Limited Warranty, any implied
warranties of implied merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
applicable to consumer products purchased by consumers, may not be excluded or
otherwise disclaimed.
Prompt Disposition. A good faith effort will be made for prompt
correction or other adjustment with respect to any product which proves to be
defective within limited warranty. For any product believed to be defective
within limited warranty, first write or call dealer from whom the product was
purchased. Dealer will give additional directions. If unable to resolve
satisfactorily, write to Dayton at address below, giving dealer’s name,
address, date, and number of dealer’s invoice, and describing the nature of
the defect. Title and risk of loss pass to buyer on delivery to common
carrier. If product was damaged in transit to you, file claim with carrier.
