GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Below you will find the main steps to be taken for
using your heater. For more details, please refer to
the MANUAL (pages 41 ff.).
•As a fire precaution, the tank must be filled either
when the heater has been switched off or in
another room than the room where the heater is

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION
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.
Be aware that the grid and the top plate become hot. If the appliance is covered
there is a risk of fire. Due to high surface temperature, keep away from children.
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.
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
cabins;
- 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.
THE RIGHT FUEL
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
Only the use of the
correct fuel will ensure
safe, efficient, and
comfortable use of your
heater.
4
40

E E E E E E
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 qua-
lity 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
A INSTALLING THE HEATER
1Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents.
In addition to the heater you also need to have:
Ea transportation cap
Ethese directions for use
Ea manual fuel syphon pump
Keep the box and the packaging materials (Fig. A) for storage and/or
transportation.
2Remove the other packaging materials:
Eemove 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 pac-
kaging 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.
3Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B.

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.
6Your 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:
1Make sure that the heater is switched off.
2Open the upper lid and lift the removable tank out of the heater (Fig. G).
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.
3Fill 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. H). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank.
4Check the removable tank fuel gauge while filling the tank (Fig. I). Stop filling
once the gauge indicates that the tank is full. Never overfill the tank, especi-
ally not when the fuel is very cold (fuel expands when it heats up).
5Let 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.
6Check 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 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:
1Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob 2clockwise to its stop (Fig. K). If you
apply more pressure you may turn it slightly further; however, it will automati-
cally return to the startposition.

2Push 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:
E insufficient fuel (fill the tank)
E poor fuel quality (contact your dealer)
E insufficient ventilation (put window or door ajar)
E wastage of the wick (contact your dealer or replace the wick,
refer to section L)
ESWITCHING OFF THE HEATER
Let the heater burn at 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).

G MAINTENANCE
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 man-
ner. Replace the batteries in time and take care not to push in the ignition button
4

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.
H STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON)
We recommend that you burn up all the fuel in the fuel tank at the end of the hea-
ting season and store the heater properly. Follow the procedure on the next page:
1Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burn until all fuel is used.
2Let the heater cool down.
3Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth.
4Remove the batteries from the holder Land store them in a dry place.
5Store 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).
I TRANSPORTATION
Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of
the heater:
1Let the heater cool down.
