Frequently Asked Questions - FT120C Perel

What fuel to use with the Perel FT120C heater?

Use kerosene (preferably 1-K) or diesel. Kerosene ensures the cleanest combustion. Never use gasoline, alcohol or other flammable fuels.

Can the FT120C be used indoors?

Yes, but only in well-ventilated rooms. Provide continuous ventilation of at least 600 cm² (25 cm²/kW). The device is not intended for domestic use and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning if ventilation is poor.

How to reset the device after a lock-out?

Set the switch to OFF, then to ON. If the problem persists, identify the cause (e.g., lack of fuel, dirty filter) and correct it before restarting.

What to do if the motor does not start and E1 is displayed?

Check the supply voltage and power cable. Ensure no overheating. If necessary, check the motor/capacitor. Code E1 usually indicates a voltage or overheating problem.

How to clean the air filters?

Remove the grille [c], wash the air intake filter [b] with a neutral detergent, rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling. The air outlet filter [a] must be replaced once a year.

What safety distances must be observed?

Maintain the following minimum distances: lateral: 0.6 m, air intake: 1 m, above: 1.5 m, air outlet: 3 m, ground: 0 m. Place on a fire-resistant surface.

Why is there smoke or odor during first use?

This is normal. Protective substances on the heating element burn off during the first cycles. Ventilate the room. If the odor persists, check proper operation.

How to store the device after use?

Ensure the device is dry and cool. Cover it with a plastic bag and store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Empty the tank if not used for a long time.

What is the warranty period for the Perel FT120C?

The warranty is 24 months for consumer products in the EU, from the date of purchase. It covers manufacturing defects. Damage due to misuse is not covered.

How to install the wheels and handle?

Use the included parts: axle [J], wheels [H], washers [I], pins [K], nuts [G] and screws. Mount the axle on the bracket [E] with the wheels. Attach the handle [A] using screws [A] and washers [B]. Refer to the illustrated manual for detailed assembly.

6. Fuel

Diesel heaters work with paraffin or diesel. Paraffin gives the cleanest combustion. Be aware that the more dust and dirt that is contained in the fuel, the more ventilation will be required! Use the cleanest fuel possible.

Paraffin may only be stored in blue containers. Red containers are associated with petrol.

Never use other fuels such as petrol, alcohol, oil compounds or similar in this heater. This could lead to fire or explosion.

Never store paraffin in direct sunlight of near a source of heat.

Do not store paraffin in living/work areas but in a well-ventilated area such as a shed, storage area or similar.

Never use paraffin from the previous season. Paraffin deteriorates in quality and will not burn properly as a result.

If you can, use 1-K paraffin in this heater. Other premium quality paraffin may also be used.

7. Operation

7.1 Start-Up

1. Fill the tank with the appropriate fuel. The fuel gauge on top of the tank allows you to check the level.
2. Next, connect to an earthed mains socket.
3. The power indicator will light and the display will show the ambient temperature.
4. Flick the power switch to the on position. If the thermostat control knob temperature is set higher than the ambient temperature, the device will start. The device will stop if the ambient temperature is reached.

7.2 Cold Start-Up

At low ambient temperatures, keep a finger on the air vent hole during the ignition. In case of malfunction (flame failure, reduced airflow, bad combustion), the device will stop and the indicator light starts flashing (lockout mode).

7.3 Manual Reset/Re-Start

If the device is in lockout mode, check and resolve the lockout problem before re-starting. To reset, flick the on-off switch to the off position and then again to the on position.

In case of repeated malfunction, please contact your dealer.

7.4 Switching Off

Flick the on-off switch to the off position and disconnect from the mains.

8. Cleaning and Maintenance

General

Before cleaning, switch of the appliance, disconnect from the mains and allow to cool completely.

Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. Protect it from splashes and spraying liquid.

Occasionally wipe with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents.

Keep the air inlet and fan free from dust and dirt. To clean inner parts, gently blow compressed air through the air inlet.

Before storing, make sure the device is perfectly cool and dry. Cover the device with a plastic bag and store in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Qualified personnel must carry out the following checks before every seasonal use:

Nozzle

Carefully unscrew the nozzle fitting. Blow compressed air through the nozzle orifice to free it from dirt. Replace the nozzle if necessary.

Air Filters

Clean the air filters. Remove the filter end cover [c], wash the air intake filter [b] using a light detergent, and dry it thoroughly before re-installing. Replace the air delivery filter [a] once a year.

Ignition Electrodes

Clean, adjust and, if necessary, replace the ignition electrodes.

Compressor Pressure Adjustment

The compressor pressure is factory-set and must be checked and adjusted by qualified technicians only. Tampering with the unit may be dangerous.

Remove the pressure gauge cap [a]. Connect a pressure gauge on the pressure measuring port on the rear guard. Start the device and read the air pressure value. If necessary, adjust the pressure to the correct value turning the adjusting screw (the air vent hole [b]) clockwise to increase, or anticlockwise to decrease the pressure.
