manual abstract
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. 6 NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 5. 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: 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 RMC-KFA120T/RMC-KFA170T 230°F/110°C 194°F/90°C RMC-KFA45T/RMC-KFA65T 176°F/80°C 122°F/50°C RMC-KFA210T 194°F/90°C 140°F/60°C Once the temperature falls below the reset temperature you will be able to start your heater. B. Electrical System Protection: This heaters electrical system is protected by a circuit breaker mounted to the power switch that protects the PCB assembly 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. 7 NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! 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 RMC-KFA210T 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 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 and 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. (See Figure9). If heater still does not start, see Troubleshooting Guide on page 13.

RMC-KFA45T/65T/120T/170T/210T 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. 8 NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! TO STOP HEATER 1. Turn switch to “OFF” and unplug power cord. TO RESTART HEATER 1.Wait 10 seconds after s...
