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 P). 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. However, if there is insufficient
ventilation (i.e. oxygen), the heater will automatically switch off. 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 Plus. 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
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.

Store it well!
Only the use of the
correct fuel will ensure
safe, efficient, and
comfortable use of your
Zibro Kamin.
The fuel cap cover can
be found at the rear of
the heater. This cover
allows you to keep your
hands clean when
opening the fuel tank.

Check the removable tank fuel gauge Gwhile filling the tank (Fig. E). Stop
filling by loosening the switch button 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 using the
fuel cap cover. After use, re-store the cover at the rear of the heater. 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.
CSETTING THE CLOCK
It is only possible to set the correct time, when the heater is connected to the
mains and not burning. Use the adjustment keys Oto set the time. First press
either of the two keys to switch on the function (the CLOCK light and the
information display L will start blinking). Next, set the hours using the key on the
left (NHOUR) and the minutes using the key on the right (MMIN). Press once to
increase the value by one step. When you hold down the key, the value will
continue going up, until you release the key again. After approximately 10
seconds the blinking will stop and the setting will be locked. 5 Minutes after
switching off the heater M, the information on the display will disappear and the
heater will automatically switch into the stand-by position.
When the heater has been unplugged for more than 10 minutes (or after a
power failure), the time needs to be set again.
DIGNITING THE HEATER
When used for the first time, a new heater may give out a smell for a short while.
You should therefore provide extra ventilation.
Just press the ON/OFF button Mto ignite the heater. The button will start blinking,
indicating that the ignition procedure has started. This will take a short while. Once
the heater is burning, the ON/OFF button will remain lit (red). The information
display Lwill show two numbers. The light next to them indicates that these
numbers refer to the temperatures (Fig. G). The actual room temperature is
indicated below ROOM, while the temperature setting is indicated below SET. The
latter can be changed with the adjustment keys (refer to Section E).
ESETTING THE REQUIRED TEMPERATURE
The temperature setting can only be adjusted, when the heater is burning. Use the
adjustment keys Oto adjust the temperature. First press either of the two keys to
switch on the function (the TEMP light next to the information display L will start
blinking). Next, adjust the temperature using the key on the right (MMIN) to set
the temperature to a higher setting and the key on the left (NHOUR) to lower the
temperature. Press once to increase the value one step. After approximately 10
seconds the light will stop blinking and the setting will be locked (Fig. G).

AUTOMATIC CLEANING MODE
When te heater has been burning continuously for two hours at its highest
setting, the burner will automatically start an autoclean procedure. The display
will show the autocleaningcode CL.05 running back to CL.00. The procedure takes
5 minutes, during which the heater will burn at its lowest setting, while the burner
autocleans. When the burner is clean again, the heater will automatically switch
back to the highest setting again.
ICHILDPROOF LOCK
The childproof lock can be used to prevent children accidentally changing the
heater settings. When the heater is burning and the childproof lock is on, the
heater can only be switched off. Other functions are blocked then. If the heater
has already been switched off, the childproof lock also prevents accidental
ignition of the heater.
Activate the childproof lock by pressing the appropriate key Nand holding it down
for more than 3 seconds. The KEY-LOCK indicator light will light up (Fig. I),
indicating that the childproof lock has been activated. Switch off the childproof lock
by pressing the key Nand holding it down for more than 3 seconds once again.
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 4°C. Subsequently, when the room temperature has
dropped again to the set temperature, the heater will automatically switch on again.
Activate the 'SAVE' setting by pressing the appropriate Qkey. The SAVE indicator
light will light up (Fig. J). Switch off the function by pressing the SAVE key once
again.

Without the 'SAVE' setting your heater will maintain the set temperature by
approximation as well, by adjusting its heating capacity. 'SAVE' is an economy
setting, which you can use when, for instance, you are not present in the room
or to keep it frost-free.
KTHE 'FUEL' INDICATOR LIGHT
When the FUEL indicator light lights up, there is enough fuel left for another 10
minutes of heater use. The count-down of the remaining heating time can be seen
in the information display L(Fig. K). Every two minutes an alarm signal is
sounded, warning you to refill the removable tank. If you do not react, the heater
will extinguish by itself. The heater will also sound a warning signal, when it
switches off. The FUEL indicator light will blink, while four lines are blinking in the
information display. You can stop this by pressing the ON/OFF button Monce.
Once the heater has used up all its fuel and extinguished, it will take some time,
after the refill, before the heater is completely ready for use again.
LTHE 'VENT' INDICATOR LIGHT
When the VENT indicator light starts blinking, this is a sign that the room is not
vented sufficiently (Fig. L). If you do not provide additional ventilation, the heater
will switch off automatically after some time.
If the indicator light continues blinking after extra ventilation, please contact your
dealer.
MMAINTENANCE
Switch off the heater and let it cool down, before you start any maintenance
work. Also disconnect the plug from the mains.
Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you
clean the air filter cap 8and the vent filter 9with a vacuum cleaner and the grid
2 with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis. Remove the air filter cap
occasionally (Fig. M) and clean it with soapy water. Prior to reinstallation, make
sure that the air filter cap has fully dried.
Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well:
Remove the removable tank 7from the heater and remove the fuel filter
(Fig. N). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand.
Remove the dirt by tapping the fuel filter upside-down against a hard surface.
(Never clean it with water!)
Reinstall the fuel filter into the heater.
We recommend that you remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth,
because otherwise these may cause stains that are hard to remove.

Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your Zibro
Kamin dealer for repairs. When the power cord is damaged, it may only be
replaced by an authorised 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).
OTRANSPORTATION
Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of
the heater:
Let the heater cool down.
Remove the removable tank Gfrom the heater and remove the fuel filter
(refer to Section M, Fig. N). 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. O).
Press it tight.
Always move the heater in an upright position.

We expressly dismiss all other claims for damages, including consequential
damages.
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

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.
10 TIPS FOR SAFE USE
1Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning
heater.
2Do not move the heater when it is burning or still hot. Do not refill nor
service the heater when it is burning or still hot.
3Position the front of the heater at a distance of minimum 1.5 metres
from walls, curtains, and furniture.
4Do not use the heater in dusty rooms or in very draughty places. You
will not have optimum burning in such rooms. Do not use the heater in
the immediate surrounding of a bath, a shower or a swimmingpool.
5Switch off the heater, before you leave or go sleeping. Unplug the
heater as well, when you go away for a longer period of time
(e.g. holidays).
6Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans.
7Make sure that the fuel is not exposed to heat or extreme temperature
changes. Always store the fuel in a cool, dry and dark place (sunlight
will affect the quality).
8Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be
present (e.g. exhaust gasses or paint fumes).
9Beware that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is
covered there is a risk of fire.
10 Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.
