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 N.When there is

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

which 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 Parttwo, or equivalent.

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

oil, such as ZibroExtra or ZibroKristal. Only fuels of this kind will ensureclean and

proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:

Eexcessive tar deposits on the glass fibre wick

Eincomplete burning

Ereduced heater lifetime

Esmoke and/or smells

Edeposits 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.

Only the use of the

correct fuel will ensure

safe, efficient, and

comfortable use of your

heater.

MANUAL

AINSTALLING THE HEATER

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

In addition to the heater you also need to have:

Eamanual fuel pump

Eatransportation cap

Ethese directions for use

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

transportation.

Remove the other packaging materials:

ERemove the packaging material from the grill G.Lift the grill from the slot

(Fig. B) and pull it forward.

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

downwards (see Fig. C).

ERemove the combustion chamber from the heater and remove the

packaging underneath (see Fig. D).

EPut 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 E(Fig. E). Close the grill: Slightly lift it to

reposition it in its slot.

EOpen the lid of the removable tank Hand remove the piece of cardboard.

Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B.

Insertthe batteries into their holder Mat the back of the heater (Fig. F).

Ensurethat the positive and negative poles match the + and - marks indicated

on the batteryhousing.

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.

BFILLING FUEL

Do not fill the removable tank in the living room, but in a moresuitable place

(there can always be some spillage). Follow the procedure below:

Make surethat the heater is switched off.

Open the lid Hand lift the removable tank Iout of the heater (Fig. G).

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

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

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

EEEEEE

☞

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 Jwhile 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.

CIGNITING THE HEATER

Anew 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 beforeyou 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 fibrewick has

been replaced.

Beforeigniting the heater, always check the fuel indicator Fto see whether the

removable tank needs filling up.

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

lighter.

Follow the procedure below:

Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob 2clockwise 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 C(Fig. K), but do not apply too much force.

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

chamber D.

When you have ignited the heater but 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 turnthe wick adjustment knob (Fig. L) completely left, beforeputting the

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

empty full

☞

After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion

chamber Dis level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle E

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

level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

DBURNING 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. R).

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

adjusted (refer to Section F).

Burning that is too low may be caused by:

Einsufficient fuel (fill the tank)

Epoor fuel quality (contact your dealer)

Einsufficient ventilation (put window or door ajar)

Ewastage 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

heardand the VENT lamp (Yellow) will be lit. When this signal is given, ensurethat

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 thereis still insuf-

ficient ventilation, the heater shuts offautomatically. After improving the ventila-

tion 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.

ESWITCHING OFF THE HEATER

Push the OFF-button A.The flame will extinguish after a little while.

FADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT (R21E)

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:

Push the OFF button A(Fig. N).

Pull the knurled wick adjustment knob Boff the heater, so the wick height

lock Kwill be visible.

Take the plastic collar between your thumb and index finger and pull it out.

Turnthe collar up one step, to either position 2 or 3 (Fig. O). Carefully push

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

☞

VENT.

☞

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 R), the wick height lock should be placed one position lower again.

Otherwise smoke or soot may be caused.

HMAINTENANCE

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

manner. 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.

THE FUEL FILTER

Check the fuel filter regularly as well.

Remove the removable tank Ifrom the heater and take out the fuel filter (Fig. P).

Some drops of fuel may spill from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Turn the fuel

filter upside down and clean it from all dirt deposits by tapping it on a hard

surface. (Never clean it with water!) Reposition the fuel filter in the heater.

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.

ISTORAGE (END OF THE HEATING 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 dryit with a drycloth.
