WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATI N
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 resi-
dential 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 ventila-
tion. 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 cm2). 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 safety mechanism. This will not occur
when using the heater at lower ambient temperatures.
SAFE T P
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 cab-
ins;
- 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 per-
mission. Obtain proper information on this in advance.

Only the use of the
correct fuel will ensure
safe, efficient, and
comfortable use of your
heater.

THE RIGHT FUEL
Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin
oil, such as Zibro Extra or Zibro ristal. 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.
Damage and/or malfunctions of the heater due to the use of other than high qual-
ity water-free pure paraffin oil is not covered by the warranty.
Always refer to your local dealer for the right fuel for 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:
a transportation cap
these directions for use
eep 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
packaging 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.
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.
Please refer to the separate instructions in the carton box for fixing of
the heater.
Your heater is now ready for use.
BFILLING 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 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 filling
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 jerry can 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
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. ). 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 .
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.
DBURNING F 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. 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
ESWITCHING FF THE HEATER
Push the OFF-button . The flame will extinguish after a little while (Fig. N).

GMAINTENANCE
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 IGNITI N C IL
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.
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.
HST RAGE (END F THE HEATING SEAS N)
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 awa , but dispose of it in accordance with the local regulations for the dis-
posal of domestic chemical waste. Alwa s start the new heating season with fresh
fuel. When ou start re-using the heater, follow the instructions again (starting from
Section A and as specified).

ITRANSP RTATI N
Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of
the heater:
Let the heater cool down.
Remove the removable tank from the heater and remove the fuel filter
(Fig. O). 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. P). Press it
tight. The transportation cap will, as much as possible, prevent oil leakage
from the heater during transport.
Always move the heater in an upright position.
Make the fixed tank empty with a fuel pump before transportation or in case
of wrong or dirty fuel. First remove the fuel filter and then insert the fuel
pump into the empty fixed tank. Follow the same procedure if the fuel tank
contains water.
