Flame Sensor

Heater will automatically stop all operations if ignition fails or if flame fails during combustion, in order to
prevent fuel overflow. Error code will be displayed on the digital indicator.

Overheat Protector

Automatically stops all operations if heater cabinet reaches abnormally high temperature due to motor
malfunction or abnormal combustion, in order to prevent fire.

Power Failure Recovery System

If power fails during heater operation, heater will turn off. When power resumes, heater will
automatically reignite and maintain the normal selected temperature.

NOTE: The operation varies depending on the time length of power failure and other conditions.

Please see page.14 for more details.

Fully Vented System

Flue pipe system provides outside air for combustion and vents all combustion products to the
outdoors.

SAFETY FEATURES

Your heater is equipped with a number of integral safety features. Please familiarize yourself with these features. If
the heater shuts down due to the operation of any safety device, ensure the problem is identified and corrected.
Note that normal combustion flames inside the combustion chamber, can be seen through a “peep hole”, located in
the front bottom left hand corner of the hot air outlet louver’s.

CAUTION: Heater and vent pipe system must be properly installed before operation. Please follow

instructions under “Installation”, Section I.

SECTION B:
SAFETY TIPS FOR OPERATION

1. NEVER use any fuel other than Paraffin. NEVER USE GASOLINE. Use of gasoline can lead to uncontrollable
flames, resulting in destructive fire.

2. Due to high surface temperatures, keep heater away from children, furniture and clothing while in operation. (See
Page 25.)

• The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been give supervision or instruction.

• Children being supervised not to play with the appliance.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and per­sons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experiance
and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance.

•

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

3. To prevent abnormal operation and prolong heater life, be sure to perform routine maintenance. (See Page 15.)

4. NEVER store or transport fuel in other than a metal or plastic container that is acceptable for fuel and clearly
marked “PARAFFIN”. NEVER store fuel in the living space.

5. Operating Temperature Range
Use heater within the range of temperatures
indicated in the right figure.

Point A: If outside temperature -29˚C

than room temperature has to be -18˚C or above

Point B: If outside temperature -43˚C

than room temperature has to be 16˚C or above

The FF 55T is designed for use with Paraffin. Use of low-quality fuel will cause burner performance to drop, leading
to abnormal combustion and reduced heater life.

Purchase only Paraffin, in non-red cans reserved exclusively for fuel and marked accordingly with the word
“PARAFFIN”. Always store your fuel in a separate area from where you store gasoline for your power equipment to
avoid accidental use of gasoline in your heater.

What to Buy . . .

ALWAYS: Clean and high-quality Paraffin.
ALWAYS: Fuel free of contaminants, water or cloudiness.
NEVER: Gasoline, alcohol, white gas, camp stove fuel or additives.
NEVER: Yellow or sour-smelling fuel.

How to Store It . . .

ALWAYS: Store in a clean container, clearly marked PARAFFIN.
ALWAYS:

Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources or extreme temperature

changes.
NEVER: In a glass container, or one that has been used for other fuels.
NEVER: For longer than six months. Begin each heating season with

fresh fuel; discard at the end of season.
NEVER: In the living space.

Why It is Important . . .

Pure, clean fuel is essential for safe and efficient heater operation. Poor quality or
contaminated fuel can cause:

●

Excess tar deposits on burner and flue pipe

●

Incomplete combustion

●

Reduced heater life

Use of a highly volatile flammable fuel such as gasoline can produce uncontrolla­ble flames, creating a severe fire hazard.

Three speed motor supplies high-capacity warm air
flow during high combustion for heating room up
quickly, and low or medium-capacity warm air flow
during low or medium combustion for maintaining
comfortable room temperature.

Constantly senses room temperature and supplies
information to heater so that desired room
temperature can be maintained.
The position of room temperature sensor can be
changed by using the extension wire (*optional) (See
Page 26.)

BEFORE IGNITION

1: Filling Fuel

• Do not fill the removable tank in the living room, but in a more suitable place
(there can always be some spillage).

• Do not refuel the heater while in operation or still hot.

Follow the procedure below:

1) Make sure that the heater is switched off.

2) Open the tank lid and lift the removable tank out of the heater.
NOTE: Some drops may leak from the tank. Put down the removable tank (cap pointing

upwards) and screw off the fuel cap.

3) Take the manual fuel pump and insert the smooth, most rigid tube into the can. Make
sure that it is in a higher position than the removable tank. Insert the ribbed hose into the
opening of the removable tank.

4) Lock the switch button on top of the pump (turn clockwise).

5) Squeeze the pump a few times, until fuel starts flowing into the removable tank. As soon
as this happens, there is no need to press any longer.

6) Check the removable tank fuel gauge while filling the tank. Stop filling by loosening the
switch button on top of the pump (turn anti-clockwise), once the gauge indicates that the
tank is full. Never overfill the tank, especially not when the fuel is very cold (fuel expands
when it heats up).

7) Let the remaining fuel in the pump flow back into the can and carefully remove the pump.
Carefully screw the fuel cap back on the tank. Clean off any spilled fuel.

8) Check whether the fuel cap is straight an tightened properly. Reinstall the removable tank
in the heater (cap down). Close the tank lid.

2: Connect in the heater

Connect heater into a 220V AC, 50Hz electrical outlet. On digital
indicator pre-set “Two Dashes” will be showing.
NOTE: Do not connect to an outlet

shared with other appliances.

3. Set Clock

IMPORTANT: Clock on the heater must always be set to current time and day.

NOTE: The “▲MIN.” or “▼HOUR” button will change the time every one (1) unit. Holding the button continuously

will cause the time to change rapidly.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure (more than approx. 30 min.), all clock and day may be cancelled.
