WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION

For each model the minimum size of space is specified in which you can use the
heater safely, without additional ventilation

(refer to Section P). If a particular
room is smaller than the specified space, always leave a window or door slightly
ajar (± 2.5 cm). We also recommend doing this in highly insulated or draught-free
r

ooms and/or at altitudes above 1,500 metres. However, if there is insufficient

ventilation (i.e. oxygen), the heater will automatically switch of

f. Do not use your

heater in cellars or other underground areas.

THE RIGHT FUEL

Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869: Part 2, or equivalent.
Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin
oil, such as Zibro Plus. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning.
Lower quality fuel may result in:

E increased possibility of malfunctioning
E incomplete burning
E reduced heater lifetime
E smoke and/or smells
E deposits on the grid or mantle

Using the right fuel is therefore essential for safe, efficient, and comfortable use
of your heater.

Always refer to your local dealer for the right fuel for your heater.

Store it well!

Only the use of the

correct fuel will ensure

safe, efficient, and

comfortable use of your

Zibr

o Kamin.

The fuel cap cover can

be found at the r

ear of

the heater

. This cover

allows you to keep your

hands clean when

opening the fuel tank.

MANUAL

A INSTALLING THE HEATER

Car

efully remove your heater from the box and check the contents.

In addition to the heater you also need to have:

E a manual fuel pump
E a transportation cap
E a fuel cap cover
E these dir

ections for use
Keep the box and the packaging materials (Fig. A) for storage and/or
transportation.

Open the lid of the removable tank

7 and remove the piece of cardboard.

Attach the sticker to the inside of the lid.

Fill the removable tank as indicated in

Section B.

The floor should be firm and completely level. Reposition the heater, when it
is not level. Do not try to correct the situation by placing books or other
goods under the heater.

Please refer to the separate instruction in the carton

box for fixing of the heater.

Insert the plug K into the wall-socket (220/230 Volts - AC / 50 Hz) and set the
correct time using the adjustment keys

O (refer to Section C).

Your heater is now ready for use.

B FILLING FUEL

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

Make sure that the heater is switched off.

Open the lid 4 and lift the removable tank 7 out of the heater (Fig. B).
Note: Some drops may leak from the tank. Put down the removable tank
(cap pointing upwards) and screw off the fuel cap using the fuel cap cover
(Fig. C).

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

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

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.

Check the removable tank fuel gauge G while filling the tank (Fig. E). 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 over

fill the tank,

especially not when the fuel is ver

y cold (fuel expands when it heats up).

Let the remaining fuel in the pump flow back into the jerrycan and carefully
remove the pump. Carefully screw the fuel cap back on the tank using the
fuel cap cover

. After use, re-store the cover at the rear of the heater. Clean

of

f any spilled fuel.

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

C SETTING THE CLOCK

It is only possible to set the correct time, when the heater is connected to the
mains and not burning. Use the adjustment keys

O to set the time. First press
either of the two keys to switch on the function (the CLOCK light and the
information display

L will start blinking). Next, set the hours using the key on the

left (

NHOUR) and the minutes using the key on the right (MMIN). Press once to
increase the value by one step. When you hold down the key, the value will
continue going up, until you release the key again. After approximately 10
seconds the blinking will stop and the setting will be locked. 5 Minutes after
switching off the heater

M, the information on the display will disappear and the

heater will automatically switch into the stand-by position.

When the heater has been unplugged for more than 10 minutes (or after a
power failure), the time needs to be set again.

D IGNITING THE HEATER

When used for the first time, a new heater may give out a smell for a short while.
You should therefore provide extra ventilation.

Just press the ON/OFF button M to ignite the heater. The button will start blinking,
indicating that the ignition procedure has started. This will take a short while. Once
the heater is burning, the ON/OFF button will remain lit (red). The information
display

L will show two numbers. The light next to them indicates that these
numbers refer to the temperatures (Fig. G). The actual room temperature is
indicated below ROOM, while the temperature setting is indicated below SET. The
latter can be changed with the adjustment keys

(refer to Section E).

E SETTING THE REQUIRED TEMPERATURE

The temperature setting can only be adjusted, when the heater is burning. Use the
adjustment keys

O to adjust the temperature. First press either of the two keys to

switch on the function (the TEMP light next to the information display

L will start

blinking). Next, adjust the temperature using the key on the right (

MMIN) to set

the temperature to a higher setting and the key on the left (

NHOUR) to lower the
temperature. Press once to increase the value one step. After approximately 10
seconds the light will stop blinking and the setting will be locked (Fig. G).

F USING THE TIMER

The timer allows you to switch on the heater automatically at a preset time.

In or

der to switch on the timer, the correct time must have been set

(r

efer to

Section C)

and the heater should be off.

Follow the procedure below:

Press the ON/OFF button

M and then the TIMER key P immediately after that.

The TIMER light on the operation panel

Use the adjustment keys

O to set the time at which the heater must ignite.

Use the key on the left (

NHOUR) to set the hours and the key on the right

(

MMIN) to set the minutes (interval of 5 minutes).

After approximately 10 seconds the information display will show CLOCK
again and the TIMER indicator light will light up, indicating that the timer
function has been activated (Fig. H).

The timer will ensure that the room will have been heated to approximately

the required temperature at the set time.

When you want to switch off the heater and ignite it again with the timer, all
you have to do is press the TIMER key

(refer to Section G).

Press the ON/OFF button M once to clear the timer setting.

G SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER

There are two ways to switch off the heater.

Press the ON/OFF button

M. The information display will show the CLOCK

signal. Within approximately one minute the flame will have extinguished.

Press the TIMER key

P without pressing the ON/OFF button, when you want
to switch off the heater and ignite it again with the timer the next time. This
not only switches off the heater, but it also activates the timer function. As
long as the TIMER light and the

information display L are blinking, you can

change the required time with the

adjustment keys O (refer to Section F).

H THE INFORMATION DISPLAY

The information display L not only serves as an indicator of the (set) time and
temperature (Sections C, E, and F), it also indicates any malfunctioning of the
heater. The code on the information display tells you what is the matter:

AUTOMATIC CLEANING MODE

When te heater has been burning continuously for two hours at its highest
setting, the burner will automatically start an autoclean procedure. The display
will show the autocleaningcode CL.05 running back to CL.00. The procedure takes
5 minutes, during which the heater will burn at its lowest setting, while the burner
autocleans. When the burner is clean again, the heater will automatically switch
back to the highest setting again.

I CHILDPROOF LOCK

The childproof lock can be used to prevent children accidentally changing the
heater settings. When the heater is burning and the childproof lock is on, the
heater can only be switched off. Other functions are blocked then. If the heater
has already been switched off, the childproof lock also prevents accidental
ignition of the heater.

Activate the childproof lock by pressing the appropriate key N and holding it down
for more than 3 seconds. The KEY-LOCK indicator light will light up (Fig. I),
indicating that the childproof lock has been activated. Switch off the childproof lock
by pressing the key

N and holding it down for more than 3 seconds once again.

J THE CORRECT USE OF 'SAVE'

The 'SAVE' function allows you to limit the temperature. When this function is
activated, the heater will automatically switch off, when the room temperature
exceeds the set temperature by 4°C. Subsequently, when the room temperature has
dropped again to the set temperature, the heater will automatically switch on again.
Activate the 'SAVE' setting by pressing the appropriate Q key. The SAVE indicator
light will light up (Fig. J). Switch off the function by pressing the SAVE key once
again.

SAVESAVE

Without the 'SAVE' setting your heater will maintain the set temperature by
approximation as well, by adjusting its heating capacity. 'SAVE' is an economy
setting, which you can use when, for instance, you ar

e not present in the room

or to keep it fr

ost-free.

K THE 'FUEL' INDICATOR LIGHT

When the FUEL indicator light lights up, there is enough fuel left for another 10
minutes of heater use. The count-down of the r

emaining heating time can be seen

in the infor

mation display

L (Fig. K). Ever

y two minutes an alarm signal is
sounded, warning you to refill the removable tank. If you do not react, the heater
will extinguish by itself. The heater will also sound a warning signal, when it
switches off. The FUEL indicator light will blink, while four lines are blinking in the
information display. You can stop this by pressing the ON/OFF button M once.

Once the heater has used up all its fuel and extinguished, it will take some time,
after the refill, before the heater is completely ready for use again.

L THE 'VENT' INDICATOR LIGHT

When the VENT indicator light starts blinking, this is a sign that the room is not
vented sufficiently (Fig. L). If you do not provide additional ventilation, the heater
will switch off automatically after some time.
If the indicator light continues blinking after extra ventilation, please contact your
dealer.

M MAINTENANCE

Switch off the heater and let it cool down, before you start any maintenance
work. Also disconnect the plug from the mains.
Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you
clean the air filter cap

8 and the vent filter 9 with a vacuum cleaner and the grid

2 with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis. Remove the air filter cap

occasionally (Fig. M) and clean it with soapy water. Prior to reinstallation, make
sure that the air filter cap has fully dried.

Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well:

Remove the removable tank

7 from the heater and remove the fuel filter

(Fig. N). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand.

Remove the dirt by tapping the fuel filter upside-down against a hard surface.

(Never clean it with water!)

Reinstall the fuel filter into the heater.

We recommend that you remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth,
because otherwise these may cause stains that are hard to remove.

N STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON)

At the end of the heating season, you must store the heater in a dust-free place, if
possible in its original packaging.

Unused fuel cannot be used in the next heating season. W

e therefore recommend
that you burn up all fuel. If there is still some fuel left, do not throw it away, but
dispose of it in accordance with the local regulations for the disposal of domestic
chemical waste.
Always start the new heating season with fresh fuel. When you start re-using the
heater follow the instructions again

(starting from section A and as specified).

O TRANSPORTATION

Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of
the heater:

Let the heater cool down.

Remove the removable tank

G from the heater and remove the fuel filter
(refer to Section M, Fig. N). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth
at hand. Store the fuel filter and the removable tank outside the heater.

Place the transportation cap into the position of the fuel filter (Fig. O).
Press it tight.

Always move the heater in an upright position.

happen, never try to move the heater, but always switch off the heater immediately. In case of emergency you
may use a fire extinguisher, but only a type B extinguisher: a carbon dioxide or powder extinguisher.

10 TIPS FOR SAFE USE

1 Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning

heater.

2 Do not move the heater when it is burning or still hot. Do not refill nor

service the heater when it is burning or still hot.

3 Position the front of the heater at a distance of minimum 1.5 metres

from walls, curtains, and furniture.

4 Do not use the heater in dusty rooms or in very draughty places. You

will not have optimum burning in such rooms. Do not use the heater in
the immediate surrounding of a bath, a shower or a swimmingpool.

5 Switch off the heater, before you leave or go sleeping. Unplug the

heater as well, when you go away for a longer period of time
(e.g. holidays).

6 Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans.

7 Make sure that the fuel is not exposed to heat or extreme temperature

changes. Always store the fuel in a cool, dry and dark place (sunlight
will af

fect the quality).

8 Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be

present (e.g. exhaust gasses or paint fumes).

9 Bewar

e that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is

covered there is a risk of fire.

10 Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.
