This transportation cap
is packed separately in
the box. Only this cap
ensures trouble-free
transportation of the
heater after use.
Store it well!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION
For each model the minimum size of space is specified in which you can use the
heater safely, without additional ventilation (refer to Section J).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.
THE RIGHT FUEL
Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869 Part two, 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:
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.

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.
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 (Fig. J). 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 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 Fto see whether the
removable tank needs filling up.
Always ignite the heater with the ignition coil K.Never use matches or a cigarette
lighter.
Follow the procedure below:
Turnthe knurled wick adjustment knob 2clockwise to its stop (Fig. K). If you
apply morepressureyou may turnit slightly further; however,it will automatically
return to the startposition.
Push in the ignition button C(Fig. L), but do not apply too much force.
Release the ignition button as soon as a flame is visible in the combustion
chamber D.
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 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. Q). The
flame can be slightly adjusted with the knurled wick adjustment knob B(Fig. M).
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 L)
ESWITCHING OFF THE HEATER
Let the heater burnat its lowest setting (Fig. M) for approximately one minute.
Then slowly turn the knurled wick adjustment knob Banti-clockwise to its stop.
The flame will extinguish after a little while.
In case of an emergency, switch off the heater by pushing in the safety button
A(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 arehard 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.
4
44

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.
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.
HSTORAGE (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 storethe heater properly.Follow the procedureon the next page:
Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burnuntil all fuel is used.
Let the heater cool down.
Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dryit with a dry cloth.
Remove the batteries from the holder Land store them in a dry place.
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).
