Only the use of the
correct fuel will ensure
safe, efficient, and
comfortable use of your
heater.
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 R. When there is
insufficient ventilation in the room or when the heater is being used in a room
w
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
room is smaller than the specified space, always put 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.
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 Extra or Zibro Kristal. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and
proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:
Eincreased possibility of malfunctioning
Eincomplete burning
Ereduced heater lifetime
Esmoke and/or smells
Edeposits on the grid or mantle
(refer to Section O). If a particular

transportation of the
heater after use.
Store it well!
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.

JTHE 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 3°C. Subsequently, when the room temperature has dropped
again to the set temperature, the heater will automatically switch on again.

setting, which you can use when, for instance, you are not present in the room
or to keep it frost-free.
KTHE 'FUEL' INDICATOR

of heater use. The count-down of the remaining heating time can be seen in the

Once the heater has used up all its fuel and is extinguished it will take some time,

LTHE 'VENT' INDICATOR
When there is insufficient ventilation in the room, an intermittent buzzer will be
heard (approximately once each 30 seconds) and the VENT indicator will be lit. 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 indicator and buzzer will be
deactivated. When there is still insufficient ventilation, the heater shuts off
automatically. When this occurs,

e recommend that you remove dust and stains from time to time with a damp

Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for
repairs. When the power cord is damaged, it may only be replaced by an

uthorised fitter. Use a new cord of the type H05 VV-F.
NSTORAGE (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. We 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).

321
Your heater comes with a 48-month warranty starting on the date of purchase.
Within this period all defects in material or workmanship will be repaired without
any charge. The following provisions shall apply regarding this warranty:
We expressly dismiss all other claims for damages, including consequential
d
amages.
Any repairs or replacements of components within the term of warranty will
not result in an extension of the term of warranty.
The warranty shall no longer apply, when the heater has been modified,
non-original parts have been used, or when it is repaired by third parties.
The warranty shall not apply to parts that are subject to normal wear, such as
the burner mat and the manual fuel pump.
The warranty shall only apply, when you present the original, dated proof of
purchase, provided no changes have been made to it.
The warranty shall not apply to damages caused by actions not in compliance
with the Directions for Use, neglect, and the use of an incorrect type of fuel,
or fuel past its use-by date. The use of incorrect fuel can even be dangerous*.
Transportation costs and the risks involved during the transportation of the
heater or heater components shall always be at the expense of the purchaser.
In order to avoid unnecessary costs, we recommend that you always read the
’Directions for Use’ carefully first. In case they offer no solution, please take the
heater to your dealer for repair.
* Highly inflammable substances may induce uncontrollable burning, causing flames to break out. Should this
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.
