Onsumer Product Safety Commission and others recommend only 1-K kerosene be used in these heaters. According to American Society of Testing and Materials Standard D-3699, "Standard specifications for kerosene," there are two types of kerosene fuels, 1-K and 2-K. The primary difference is sulfur content. Type 1-K contains 0.04 percent sulfur by weight and 2-K contains 0.30 percent sulfur by weight. The higher sulfur content of 2-K fuel tends to adversely affect proper fuel wicking and increases sulfur dioxide emissions. The use of 2-K kerosene creates the need for frequent wick cleaning and maintenance that, if not carried out properly, may produce a fire or explosion hazard. The distinction between 1-K and 2-K kerosene fuels cannot be made through visual examination. The terms "water clear" or "clear white" are often used to describe the type of kerosene that can be used in the unvented heater. Although water clear or clear white kerosene may be 1-K in most cases, color should not be u
kerosene heater Ce procedures recommended by the manufacturer. If you suspect the heater is not working properly kerosene heater, extinguish it immediately and allow it to cool. Then perform the necessary maintenance or take it to a qualified service center for repair. Don't take a chance! An improperly operating heater can result in a fire or can generate an excessive amount of the by-products of combustion: soot kerosene heater, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. Provide adequate ventilation. Adequate ventilation is necessary for safe operation of the kerosene heater. Burning kerosene consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide kerosene heater, sulfur dioxide kerosene heater, nitrogen dioxide kerosene heater, carbon monoxide and other gases.

The manufacturer's recommendations should be followed to provide adequate oxygen for combustion; in many instances kerosene heater, this ma require opening a window or a door leading to another room. If no specifications are listed in the manufacturer's literature kerosene heater, one rule of thumb is to provide 1 square inch of window opening for each 1 kerosene heater, 000 BTUs of the heater rating. An example - a 10 kerosene heater, 000 BTU heater may require opening an outside window 10 square inches to provide the necessary air intake. In an energy efficient home kerosene heater, additional air intake may be necessary. Use only as supplemental heat. The heater should never be used as the only heat source kerosene heater, except in an emergency situation. Don't operate it while you are asleep because heater malfunction could cause asphyxiation. Do not leave a heater unattended. Keep the heater out of the traffic flow. Place it in areas where there is little chance someone will bump into it. UL Standard 647 requires that in the tipped over position kerosene heater, the burner "flame shall not continue to burn longer than 30 seconds." The standard also requires "that kerosene discharged from the reservoir or the burner shall not be ignited" as a result of the heater tip-over. Although equipment must.

Available at almost every grocery store are bamboo skewers, and a pack of one hundred 12" long skewers costs less than $1.30. Just light one end of a bamboo skewer, raise the catalytic converter and light the wick. Blow out the skewer, rub off the charred end, and it can be used dozens of times...a single pack of skewers will last for years. Bamboo skewers can also be used to light the stoves listed below. Long barbeque butane lighters can also be used to light some kerosene heaters, but not all, as some, such as the Corona SX-2E have an internal post which keeps the catalytic converter from being tipped, so while there is room for a bamboo skewer, there isn't room for a butane lighter tip.
