GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Below you will find the main steps to be taken for

using your heater. For more details, please refer to

the MANUAL (pages 53 ff.).

• As a fire precaution, the tank must be filled either when the heater has been switched off or in another room than the room where the heater is installed.

• Always ensure that the tank is closed properly after filling it at a safe distance from all sources of heat and open flames (see chapter B).

• The first time the heater is ignited it will smell like “new” for a short time.

• Store all fuel containers with their original caps and seals in a cool and dark place.

• Fuel ages. Use new fuel at the start of every heating season.

• The use of Zibro Extra, Zibro Kristal or Zibro Bio as a heating fuel assures you that you have a good quality fuel.

• Before changing brands and/or types of fuel make sure that the mobile heater first completely empties all of the remaining fuel inside the heater.

WHAT YOU NEED TO K NOW I N ADVA NCE

VENTILATE SUFFICIENTLY

Read this user manual carefully before using the appliance and keep it for future reference. Install this device only when it complies with local/national legislation, ordinances and standards. This product is intended to be used as a heater in residential houses and is only suitable for use in dry locations, in normal household conditions, indoors in living room, kitchen and garage. Regardless of the model, you must always make sure that the heater is used in a room large enough to enable the heater to be used safely without extra ventilation. If the room is smaller than required, you must always open a door or window slightly (ensuring an opening of approx. 2.5 cm). It is important that every room where the heater is used has sufficient air intake and efficient air outflow (both openings must have a minimum cross section of 50 cm

). No modifications to the safety system are allowed, as that will invalidate the guarantee that the air probe will work properly. Consult your dealer in case of doubt.

SAFETY SYSTEM

When you have turned on the heater, if the room temperature is relatively low (19 to 20°C) it may automatically switch off. The cause of this is build-up of heat in the heater. This is a logical consequence of the required safety mechanism. This will not occur when using the heater at lower ambient temperatures.

SAFE TOP

The heater is supplied with a safe top. This application decreases the temperature of the top plate. In this way, the risk of harmful accidents at accidentally touching the top plate is considerably decreased. However, be aware that the top plate still becomes hot. Avoid any contact with the top plate and grille.

Especially for France: Your heater was designed to operate exclusively on fuel for liquid fuel-operated mobile heaters in accordance with the Decrees of 08-01-1998 and 18-07-2002. The use of other fuels is forbidden. Ask your dealer or check our website for the addresses of our retailers. The liquid fuel-operated mobile heater is intended as an extra heater, and not as a continuous source of heat.

Especially for United Kingdom: Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869; Part 2, or equivalent.

The user must comply with the following instructions for proper use:

DO NOT

- use the liquid fuel-operated mobile heater in caravans, boats, and vehicle cabins;

- use the liquid fuel-operated mobile heater in insufficiently ventilated rooms (consult

the table of properties for the minimum dimensions of the room to be heated), underground rooms and / or at a height of over 1500 metres;

- modify the heater safety features. The use of this type of heating in public rooms is subject to prior regulatory permission. Obtain proper information on this in advance.

THE RIGHT FUEL

Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil, such as Zibro Extra, Zibro Kristal or Zibro Bio. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:

! increased possibility of malfunctioning ! incomplete combustion ! reduced heater lifetime ! smoke and/or fumes ! deposits on the grid or mantle

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

Damage and/or malfunctions of the heater due to the use of other than high-quality water-free pure parafine oil is not

covered by the warranty.

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

Only the use of the

correct fuel will ensure

safe, efficient, and

comfortable use of your

heater.

NSTALLING THE HEATER

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

In addition to the heater you also need to have:

! a transportation cap

these directions for use

! manual fuel pump

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

transportation.

Remove the other packaging materials:

! Release the right side of the grill ! from the two slots by pulling the right

side of the grill to the left and then pull it forward (Fig. B).

! Pull both ends of the packaging to the rear and at the same time slightly

downwards (see Fig. C).

! Remove the combustion chamber " from the heater and remove the pack-

aging underneath (see Fig. D).

! Put the combustion chamber back into its place. The combustion chamber

is positioned correctly when it can be smoothly moved a little to the left

and to the right by its handle # (Fig. F). Close the grill: Slightly lift it to

reposition it in its slot.

! Open the lid of the removable tank $ and remove the piece of cardboard.

If the left side of the grill has been removed, first insert the flattened upper left

end of the grill into the upper left slot and then insert the other flattened end

into the lower left slot (Fig. E).

Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B.

Insert the batteries into their holder % at the back of the heater (Fig. G).

Ensure that the positive and negative poles match the + and - marks indicated

on the battery housing. It is best to use new alkaline batteries (4x D-size).

The floor should be firm and completely level.

Reposition the heater, when it is

not level. Do not correct the situation by placing books or other goods under the heater.

Your heater is now ready for use.

B FILLING FUEL

Fill the removable tank in a suitable place since there can always be some spillage.

Follow the procedure below:

Make sure that the heater is switched off.

Open the upper lid and lift the removable tank out of the heater (Fig. H).

Note: Some drops may leak from the tank. Put down the removable tank

(cap pointing upwards, handle on floor (Fig. I) and screw off the fuel cap.

Fill the removable tank using a fuel pump (refer to fuel pump operation

instructions.) Make sure that it is in a higher position than the removable tank

(Fig. I). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank.

Check the removable tank fuel gauge while filling the tank (Fig. J). Stop

illing 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).

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. Clean off

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 IG NI TI NG T HE HEATE R

A new heater may give off some smells for a short while, when it is used for the

first time. You should therefore provide extra ventilation or ignite the heater

out-

side the living room.

When you use the heater for the first time, first put the filled removable tank into

place, and then wait approximately 30 minutes before you ignite the heater. This

allows the glass fibre wick to soak up the fuel. Follow the same procedure when you

have completely burnt up all fuel from the tank, and after the glass fibre wick has

been replaced.

Before igniting the heater, always check the fuel indicator ! to see whether the

removable tank needs filling up.

Always ignite the heater with the ignition coil ". Never use matches or a cigarette

lighter.

Follow the procedure below:

Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob # clockwise to its stop (Fig. K). If you

apply more pressure you may turn it slightly further; however, it will automatically

return to the startposition.

Push in the ignition button $ (Fig. L), but do not apply too much force.

Release the ignition button as soon as a flame is visible in the combustion

chamber %.

When you have ignited the heater and it shuts off again shortly after, the batteries

need to be replaced. It is best to use new alkaline batteries (4x D-size).

If the heater has been used only a few times and the wick adjustment knob is not

locked, first turn the wick adjustment knob (Fig. M) completely left, before putting

the wick in the highest position for ignition (Section C).

☞

After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion

chamber ! is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle "

(Fig. F). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not

level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

D B

UR NI NG OF THE HEATER

fter you have ignited the heater, it will take 10 to 15 minutes before you can check

whether the heater is burning well. A too high flame may cause smoke and soot,

whereas a too low flame causes smells. The page opposite the folding page shows

the minimum and maximum permissible burning heights of the flame (Fig. Q). The

flame can be slightly adjusted with the knurled wick adjustment knob # (Fig. M).

Burning that is too low may be caused by:

! insufficient fuel (fill the tank)

! poor fuel quality (contact your dealer)

! insufficient ventilation (put window or door ajar)

! wastage of the wick (contact your dealer or replace the wick,

refer to section L)

When there is insufficient ventilation in the room, the heater shuts off automati-

cally. After improving the ventilation of the room (e.g. by opening a door or win-

dow a little more), the heater can be ignited again.

E SW IT CHING OFF THE HEATER

Push the OFF-button $. The flame will extinguish after a little while (Fig. N).

G M AI NT EN AN CE

Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you

remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these may

cause stains that are hard to remove. Under normal conditions, only three

components are subject to wear:

1. THE BATTERIES

You may replace the batteries yourself. Do not dispose of old batteries along with

the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable regulations regarding the

disposal of domestic chemical waste.

2. THE IGNITION COIL

The ignition coil will have a longer life, if you ignite the heater in the correct

anner. Replace the batteries in time and take care not to push in the ignition

button with too much force. If the filament is broken, the ignition coil must be

replaced.

3. THE WICK

To extend the glass fibre wick life, you must occasionally let the heater burn until

the tank is completely emptied and the heater extinguishes by itself. Do this when

you notice that the flame is weakening. The burn-out will cause some smells, so it

is recommended that you take the heater outside of the living room.

Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for

repairs.

Let the heater cool down first, before you start any maintenance or service work.

H S TORAGE (END OF THE HE ATING SEASON)

We recommend that you burn up all the fuel in the fuel tank at the end of the heating

season and store the heater properly. Follow the procedure on the next page:

Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burn until all fuel is used.

Let the heater cool down.

Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth.

Remove the batteries from the holder ! and store them in a dry place.

Clean the fuel filter (refer to section G).

Store the heater in a dust-free place, if possible in its original packaging.

Unused fuel cannot be used for the next heating season. 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).
