Switch off the heater (refer to Section E).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION

This heater is equipped with an air quality control system !. When there is

insufficient ventilation in the room or when the heater is being used in a room

hich is too small, the heater will shut off automatically. For comfortable and safe

heating ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.

Note: To avoid unexpected shut off, we recommend to put a door or window ajar

when the heater is operating.

For each model the minimum size of space is specified in which you can use the

heater safely, without additional ventilation

(refer to Section K). 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

rooms and/or at altitudes above 1,500 metres. Do not use your heater in cellars or

other underground areas.

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.

THE RIGHT FUEL

Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869 Part two, or equivalent.

Your Zibro heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure

paraffin oil, such as Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal. Only fuels of this kind will ensure

clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:

! excessive tar deposits on the glass fibre wick

! incomplete burning

! reduced heater lifetime

! smoke and/or smells

! 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 Zibro dealer for the right fuel for your heater.

This transpor

tation cap

is packed separately in

the box. Only this cap

ensures trouble-fr

transportation of the

heater after use.

Store it well!

Only the use of the

correct fuel will ensure

safe, efficient, and

comfortable use of your

heater.

MANUAL

A INSTALLING THE HEATER

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

n addition to the heater you also need to have:

! a manual fuel pump

! a transportation cap

! these directions for use

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

Remove the other packaging materials:

! Remove the packaging material from the grill !. Lift the grill from the slot

(Fig. B) and pull it forward.

! Push the packing material on top of the combustion chamber " slightly

down and remove it (Fig. C). Remove the packaging materials from under

the combustion chamber as well (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. E). Close the grill: Slightly lift it to

reposition it in its slot.

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

Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B.

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

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

on the battery housing.

The floor should be firm and completely level.

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

$ and lift the removable tank & out of the heater (Fig. G).

Note: Some dr

ops may leak from the tank. Put down the removable tank

(cap pointing upwards) and screw off the fuel cap.

! ! ! ! ! !

ake 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. H). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank.

Lock the valve 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

! while filling the tank (Fig. I). Stop

filling by loosening the valve on top of the pump (turn anti-clock-wise), 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 IGNITING THE HEATER

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

outside 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 cigar

ette

lighter

Follow the procedure below:

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

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

return to the startposition. When you have set the wick to its highest position,

this action will automatically activate the safety device.

Push in the ignition button % (Fig. K), but do not apply too much for

ce.

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

chamber

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

need to be r

eplaced. 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. S) 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. E) ".This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is

not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

D BURNING OF THE HEATER

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

check whether the heater is burning well. Too high a flame may cause smoke and

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

shows the minimum and maximum permissible burning heights of the flame (Fig. P).

The flame can be slightly adjusted with knurled wick adjustment knob # (Fig. S).

If the flame remains low after the adjustment, the wick height must be

adjusted

(refer to Section F).

Too low a flame may also be caused by:

! insufficient fuel (fill the tank)

! poor fuel quality (contact your dealer)

! insufficient ventilation (leave window or door ajar)

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

refer to section M)

When there is insufficient ventilation in the room, an intermittent buzzer will be

heard and the VENT lamp (Yellow) will be lit (Fig. Q) . When this signal is given,

ensure that the ventilation of the room is improved (e.g. by opening a door or

window a little more) to avoid that the heater shuts off. When the ventilation of

the room is improved, the VENT lamp and buzzer will be deactivated. When there

is still insufficient ventilation, the heater shuts off automatically. After improving

the ventilation of the room (e.g. by opening a door or window a little more), the

heater can be ignited again.

This heater is fitted with a safety system that ensures that it switches off if you

lift the exchange tank out of the heater. To switch the heater on again, put the

exchange tank back and follow the steps in

chapter C.

E SWITCHING OFF THE HEA

TER

Let the heater burn at its lowest setting for approximately one minute. Push the

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

In cases of emergency: switch off the heater with the OFF - button $ (Fig. L).

☞☞

☞

F ADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT

After a period of time the combustion may no longer be high enough (Section D). In

that case you can adjust the wick height to improve the flame. To do this, the heater

must have been switched off. Follow the procedure below:

ush the OFF-button

! (

Fig. L).

Pull the knurled wick adjustment knob " off the heater, so the wick height

lock # will be visible.

Take t he plast ic colla r b etwee n y our thum b and in dex fing er and pull it out.

Turn t he co llar up one s tep, to eithe r positi on 2 or 3 (Fig. R) . Car efu lly p ush

the collar back, so the pin engages in the recess.

Carefully reinstall the knurled wick adjustment knob. This can be done in one

way only - check the rear of the cap for the correct position.

If adjustment of the wick height does not have the required effect, let the

heater burn until all fuel has been used up (Section H).

If the flame height is still too low and the wick is set on position 3, then contact your

dealer,

or replace the wick, refer to section M.

If the flame gets too high after adjus-

ting (Fig P), the wick height lock should be placed one position lower again.

Otherwise smoke or soot may be caused.

H MAINTENANCE

Your heat er need s hard ly any main te na nc e. It is, howe ve r, impo rt an t 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 m ay rep lac e t he bat ter ies yo urs elf . Do n ot dis pos e o f o ld bat ter ies al ong wi th the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable regulations regarding the disposal of domestic chemical waste.

2. THE WICK

To ext end the g lass fibr e w ick life , y ou must occasiona lly let the heate r 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.

3. THE IGNITION COIL

The ignition coil will last longer if you ignite in the right way. Replace the batteries on time and make sure you do not push the ignition button too forcefully. If the filament is broken, you should replace the coil.

THE FUEL FILTER

Check the fuel filter regularly as well. Remove the removable tank

! from the heater and take out the fuel filter (Fig.
