E E E 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. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in: Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.

increased possibility of malfunctioning

reduced heater lifetime

deposits 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.

L M MAINTENANCE Switch off the heater and let it cool down, before you start any maintenance work. Also disconnect the plug from the mains.

Your needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you clean the air filter 8 and the vent filter 9 with a vacuum cleaner and the grid 2 with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis. Remove the air filter occasionally (Fig. L) and clean it with soapy water. Prior to reinstallation, make sure that the air filter has

M Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well:

1 Remove the removable tank 7 from the heater and remove the fuel filter (Fig. M). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand.

2 Remove the dirt by tapping the fuel filter upside-down against a hard surface.

(Never clean it with water!) 3 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.

N Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your 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.

STORAGE (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).

O TRANSPORTATION Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of the heater:

1 Let the heater cool down.

2 Remove the removable tank G from the heater and remove the fuel filter

(refer to Section M, Fig. M). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel filter and the removable tank outside the heater. 3 Place the transportation cap into the position of the fuel filter (Fig. N). Press it tight. 4 Always move the heater in an upright position.

10 TIPS FOR SAFE USE

Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning heater.

Do 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. Position the front of the heater at a distance of minimum 1.5 metres from walls, curtains, and furniture. Do not use the heater in dusty rooms or in places with strong draughts. In either situation 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. Switch 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). Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans. Make 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). Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gasses or paint fumes). Beware that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire. Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.
