2. Safety Information
Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Always follow these basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the heater. Kerosene heaters consume oxygen and produce carbon monoxide. Use in a well-ventilated area to prevent oxygen depletion and carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Fuel Type: Use only clean, clear kerosene (JIS Class 1 Kerosene). Never use gasoline, benzene, paint thinners, or other highly flammable liquids, as this can cause fire or explosion.
- Placement: Place the heater on a firm, level surface, away from curtains, furniture, and other combustible materials. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 feet (90 cm) from all sides.
- Supervision: Never leave the heater unattended while in operation, especially around children or pets.
- Refueling: Always turn off the heater and allow it to cool completely before refueling. Refuel outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
- Storage: Store kerosene in a clearly marked, approved container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Moving: Do not move the heater while it is operating or still hot.
