Safety Information

The products described in this manual are

parafn direct-red, forced air heaters. Kerosene

forced air heaters are primarily intended for

use for temporary heating of buildings under

construction, alteration or repair. Direct-red

means that all of the combustion products of the

heater enter the heated space. This appliance

is rated at 98% combustion efciency, but does

produce small amounts of carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is toxic. Humans can tolerate

only small amounts of carbon monoxide and so

precautions should be taken to provide proper

ventilation. Failure to provide proper ventilation

in accordance with the instructions in this manual

can result in death.

People with breathing problems should consult a

physician before using this heater.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

resemble the u. Symptoms of improper

ventilation / carbon monoxide poisoning are:

Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Dry Mouth

Sore Throat •Burning of Nose and Eyes

If you experience any of these symptoms:

GET FRESH AIR AT ONCE! Have your heater

serviced and check for proper ventilation. 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.

Not For Indoor Use. Indoor use permitted only

for the temporary heating of buildings under

construction, alteration or repair!

Provide at least a three square foot (2,800 sq

cm) opening of outside air for every 100,000

Btu / Hr heater rating. Refer to “Ventilation” on

page 7 for further instructions.

ALWAYS use only the electrical power (voltage and

frequency) specified on the model plate of the heater.

ALWAYS use only approved, grounded socket and

properly rated extension cables.

ALWAYS unplug the heater when not in use.

ALWAYS install the heater so that it is not directly

exposed to water spray, rain, dripping water, or wind.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a special cord or assemble available

from the manufacturer, its service agent or

similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a

hazard

NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzine, paint

thinners or other oil compounds in this heater.

NEVER refill the heater’s fuel tank while the

heater is operating or still hot. This heater is

EXTREMELY HOT while in operation.

NEVER block air inlet (rear) or air outlet (front).

NEVER use duct work in front or rear of heater.

NEVER move or handle heater while still hot.

NEVER transport heater with fuel in tank.

NEVER use with an external fuel tank.

Keep all combustible materials away from this heater.

Operation

Fueling The Heater:

Parafn

For optimal performance of this heater, it is

strongly suggested that parafn be used.

parafn has been rened to virtually eliminate

contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause

a rotten egg odor during the operation of the

heater. Using diesel fuel can cause excess soot

production. Do not use Bio-Diesel as this fuel will

damage your heater’s seals and lter.

- NEVER use fuel such as 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.

- NEVER store kerosene in the living space.

Kerosene should be stored in a well ventilated area

outside the living area.

- 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.

NOTE: Kerosene should only be stored in a blue

container that is clearly marked “Kerosene.”

Never store kerosene in a red container. Red is

associated with gasoline.

Ventilation:

- Risk of indoor air pollution and Carbon

Monoxide Poisoning. Use heater only in well

ventilated areas.

- Refer to Safety Information on pages 1-2 for

information about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.

- ALWAYS provide a fresh air opening in the heated

space of at least 2,800 cm

for each 29 kW of

heater output. Provide a larger opening if more

heaters are being used.

NEVER FILL THE FUEL TANK

INDOORS. ALWAYS FILL

THE TANK OUTDOORS. BE SURE THAT

THE HEATER IS ON LEVEL GROUND WHEN

FUELING, AND NEVER OVERFILL THE TANK.

CAUTION

NEVER REFUEL THIS HEATER

WHILE IT IS HOT OR

OPERATING. FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD

RESULT.

DANGER

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

MAY LEAD TO DEATH!

DANGER

DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR

CRANKCASE DRAININGS.

WARNING

This appliance is designed to

operate safely at a minimum

ambient temperature of -20° C.

WARNING

Use caution when servicing in

wet areas. Disconnect power

from the power mains and keep all electrical

components from becoming wet. Only a

qualified technician should service the

heater

WARNING

A qualified technician is

required to install, adjust and,

where necessary, convert this heater for use

with other fuel types.

WARNING

NEVER LEAVE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING OR

WHILE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE

Operation

Starting the Heater: (Ignition)

1. Fill the tank with kerosene or other approved

fuel until needle on fuel gauge points to “F”.

2. Replace fuel cap and tighten firmly.

3. Connect the heater to a three prong

(grounded) power source. You must use a

three prong (grounded) extension cord that is

at least 1.8 meters long and is properly rated

for this service.

Model FF45:

1. Complete steps 1-3 above.

2. Move power switch to “On” position. The

power indicator light will illuminate and the

heater will ignite. (See Figure 9)

NOTE: If if the heater still does not ignite, refer to

“Troubleshooting Guide” on page 12.

Stopping / Restarting Heater:

- To stop the heater, move the power switch to the

“Off” position and unplug the power cord.

- To restart the heater; wait 10 seconds and follow

ignition steps.

Models FF70 / FF125 /

FF175 / FF215:

1. Complete “starting heater ignition” steps 1-3

above.

2. Turn thermostat control knob to desired

temperature setting. The thermostat set range

is from 4.5 ºC to 43.4 ºC.

3. Move power switch to “On” position. The

power indicator light and room temperature

display will illuminate and heater will ignite.

(See Figure 10)

NOTE: If if the heater still does not ignite, refer to

“Troubleshooting Guide” on page 12.

NOTE: The FF45 and FF70 do not have

a room temperature display feature.

The room temperature display will indicate the

following:

- When the temperature is less than -17.8 ºC the

display says “LO”.

- When the temperature is more that 37.3 ºC the

display says “HI”.

- Between -17.8 °C and 37.3 °C the display shows

actual temperature.

Stopping / Restarting Heater:

- To stop the heater, move the power switch to the

“Off” position and unplug the power cord.

Maintenance

Long Term Storage:

Models FF45 / FF70:

1. Use an approved siphon to drain fuel through the

fuel cap opening.

Models FF125 / FF175 / FF215:

1. Drain fuel through the drain hole in the bottom

of the fuel tank.

2. To remove the drain bolt, unsrew the drain

bolt counterclockwise and remove from the

drain hole in the tank. (See Figure 11)

3. Using a small amount of parafn, rinse and

swirl the kerosene inside of the fuel tank,

empty the tank fully.

4. To replace the drain bolt; push the drain head

fully into the drain hole and screw clockwise.

(See Figure 12)

IMPORTANT: Never store leftover parafn between

seasons, using old fuel can damage heater.

Service:

DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNIT. HAVE

A COMPETENT SERVICEMAN MAKE ANY

NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIRS.

Use only original equipment parts. The use of

alternate or third party components can cause unsafe

operating conditions.

We suggest following a maintenance schedule as follows:

FUEL / FUEL TANK:

Flush tank every 200 hours of operation or as needed.

DO NOT ush with water, use fresh parafn only.

AIR FILTERS:

The air intake lter should be replaced or washed

with soap and water and dried thoroughly every 500

hours of operation or less depending on conditions.

The output and lint lters should be replaced

every 500 hours of operation or less depending

on conditions.

NOTE: Use of diesel fuel may require

additional maintenance
