General Guidelines - Perel FT15N Mode D'emploi

 Make sure that no object hampers the fan air intake.
 Only connect the mobile forced-air heater to an earthed mains.
 Do not hamper, completely or partially, the air intake at the back and/or the air output at the front. Avoid
using any type of air canalization toward or from the device.
 The minimum safety distance is 2 m from walls or any other object.
 The mobile forced-air heater may only be used on a fireproof surface.
 Connect the mobile forced-air heater on a levelled, stable and fireproof surface to avoid fire risks.
 The mobile forced-air heater may not be used in rooms where explosive dusts, gases, liquids or any other
flammable materials are present (fabrics, wood, paper, petrol, etc.).
 It is recommended to use a fireproof protection if the mobile forced-air heater is being used near steps,
curtains or other covering materials. A minimum safety distance of 2.5 m between the hot parts of the
device and any flammable material (fabrics, wood, paper, petrol, etc.) or from thermolabile materials
(included the power cable) must be observed.
 Maintenance and internal cleaning activities may only be commended to a specialised technician appointed
by the manufacturer.
 The forced-air heater must be disconnected from the mains and from any gas-feeding device if the heater is
to be left unattended and if the safety instructions cannot be observed.
 If the forced-air heater does not switch on or if it switches on in an abnormal way, disconnect the heater
from the mains and from any gas-feeding device. Check the airflow to the heater and make sure it is
sufficient before trying to switch on the heater.
 Never move, manipulate or clean a switched-on heater.
 Only replace the gas hose with a similar hose or with a hose which is able to cope with the used gas
pressure. Refer to the local regulations. The used gas hose must be 1.5 m long. Do not crimp or bend the
gas hose.
 Do not use a gas hose to canalize hot air.
 Disconnect the forced-air heater from the mains, cut the gas supply, disconnect the gas hose and close the
gas intake inside the heater if it will not be used for a longer period.
 It is recommended to leave the annual maintenance of the heater to a specialized technician.

General Guidelines

Refer to the Velleman® Service and Quality Warranty on the last pages of this manual.
4. Type of Fuel Used
Only use I3P-type gases.
5. Connecting and Replacing the Gas Cylinder
Only replace the gas cylinder in the open air, far from any open flame or heat source.
Connect the gas cylinder using following accessories:
 1 DK6 flexible hose for liquid gas
 1 pressure regulator for liquid gas with safety valve
Connection
1. Connect the gas hose to the heater without forcing.
2. Install the pressure regulator on the gas cylinder.
3. Check if the connection of the pressure regulator is correctly sealed according to the used gas cylinder.
4. Open the valve of the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator if the gas cylinder does not feature a valve.
5. Check if the connection are correctly sealed using soapy water: soap bubbles may point to a gas leak.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
The connections may have a left-handed screw thread. Consequently, they are threaded in a anticlockwise
direction.
Check if there is a clamp between the pressure regulator and the gas cylinder.
It is allowed to interconnect multiple gas cylinders to increase the fuel autonomy.
The feeding pressure is obtained through the pressure regulator and corresponds to the data on the
specifications table.
Only use certified replacement gas hoses.
