How to detect and manage a damaged sensor on a ZIBRO LASER FF 55 heater?
Frequently Asked Questions - 26/03/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The ZIBRO LASER FF 55 heater has several critical sensors for its operation: the ambient temperature sensor (thermistor), the burner thermistor, and the overheat sensor. A damaged sensor directly affects operation and safety. Here’s how to detect and manage them.

Signs of a damaged sensor: Check the error message displayed. The code E-6 indicates a malfunction of the burner thermistor, while code E-9 signals a disconnected or faulty ambient temperature sensor. You may also observe a refusal to start, unexpected shutdowns, irregular heating, or erratic responses to temperature changes. Visually inspect all accessible components: look for cracks, burn marks, corrosion, debris, or loose connections.

Checks and cleaning: Start by turning off the heater, unplugging it, and waiting for it to cool completely. Clean the air filter weekly with a vacuum cleaner and the grille with a soft damp cloth. For the ambient temperature sensor (2.5-meter cable located at the back), ensure it is not exposed to drafts, direct sunlight, or heat from the heater, as these conditions give incorrect readings and generate errors E-7 or E-8. Check that the cable does not touch the exhaust pipe. Clean the connectors with a dry cloth without rubbing hard.

Test after maintenance: After checking and cleaning, plug the heater back in and try to start it again. Observe the initial error message and note if it persists. Let it run for at least 5 minutes to check for stable operation.

When to call a professional: If the error code persists after these checks, or if you detect visible damage to the sensors, contact an authorized ZIBRO dealer. Do not attempt to disassemble or replace the sensors yourself - the manual explicitly states that no components should be removed by the user. Thermistors (sensors) are not normal wear parts covered by the 24-month warranty, but an authorized technician can replace them with the correct spare parts. Contact your dealer or PVG France at 02 32 96 07 47 for spare parts.

Chapter 4: WARRANTY PROVISIONS

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE

THE RIGHT FUEL

Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869: Part 2, or equivalent. Your Zibro 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:

increased possibility of malfunctioning
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.

Always refer to your local Zibro dealer for the right fuel for your heater.

ZIBRO LASER FF 55 - THE RIGHT FUEL - 1

  • The first time you ignite your heater it will smell like 'new' for a short time.
  • Store your fuel in a cool and dark place.
  • Fuel has a limited shelf life. Start every heating season with renewed fuel.
  • The right quality of fuel will be assured, when you use Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal for your heater.
  • If you change to another brand and/or type of parrafin oil, you must first finish up all the remaining fuel in the heater.

TIPS FOR SAFE USE

1 Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning heater.
2 Position the front of the heater at a distance of minimum 1.5 metres from walls, curtains, and furniture.
3 Do not use the heater in dusty rooms. 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 swimming pool.
4 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).
5 Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans.
6 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).
7 Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gasses or paint fumes).
8 Beware that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire.
9 Use only in accordance with state and/or local regulations, ordinances and codes.
10 Make sure the heater is on a level surface during operation
11 Do not service or refuel heater while in operation or still hot.
12 Do not operate in areas exposed to flammable vapors or high duel level to avoid fire or explosion.

After approximately 10 seconds the light will stop blinking and setting will be locked. The available temperature settings range from 10^ minimum to 32^ maximum. When the heater has been unplugged (or after a power failure), the temperature will reset to the factory setting of 20^ .

The operating mode is automatically controlled in accordance with the room temperature detected by the room temperature sensor. The heater works in the "HIGH" operating mode until the room temperature has reached the desired level.

When the room temperature reaches the chosen setting, the heater automatically switches to the "MED" or "LOW" operating mode in order to maintain the desired temperature.

Step 3: The 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 2^ . 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 button. The SAVE indicator light will light up. Switch off the function by pressing the SAVE button once again.

ZIBRO LASER FF 55 - Step 3: The correct use of 'SAVE' - 1

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.

Step 4: The 'FUEL' indicator light

When the FUEL indicator light lights up, it means that there is only fuel left for 10 more minutes. The countdown of the remaining heating time can be seen in the information display. You remove the fuel tank and refill it outside the living room. If you don't refill it, you will hear an alarm signal every two minutes, warning you to refill the removable tank and after 10 minutes the heater will switch off automatically.

The timer allows you to switch on the heater automatically at a preset time.

In order to switch on the timer, the correct time must have been set and the heater should be off. Follow the procedure below:

[1] Press the TIMER button. The TIMER light and the information display will start blinking.
[2] Use the adjustment buttons to set the time at which the heater must ignite. Use the button on the left (△hour) to set the hours and the button on the right (▼min.) to set the minutes (interval of 10 minutes).
[3] Press the ON/OFF button while the information display is blinking.
[4] After approximately 10 seconds the information display will show CLOCK again and the TIMER indicator light will light up, indicating that the timer function has been activated.

To clear the timer setting, press the ON/OFF button once.

ZIBRO LASER FF 55 - Step 4: The 'FUEL' indicator light - 1

Note: When the room temperature is less than 15^ C , the preset time is changed automatically depending on the room temperature in order to heat the room by the desired time.

7. Room temperature sensor

The room temperature sensor is fitted with a 2.5 meter cable. This is located on the back of the heater. Ensure that the cable does not touch the outlet tube. The room temperature sensor can be installed with cello tape or with a wood screw.

Select the location where the sensor is to be installed in such a way that it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, draughts or the warm air flowing out of the heater.

8. Childproof 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 button and holding it down for more than 3 seconds. The KEY-LOCK indicator light will light up, indicating that the childproof lock has been activated. Switch off the childproof lock by pressing the button and holding it down for more than 3 seconds once again.

9. Switching off the heater

There are two ways to switch off the heater.

[1] Press the ON/OFF button. The information display will show the CLOCK signal. The air circulation ventilator and the ventilator motor continue to operate for approximately 3 minutes in order to cool the heater down.
[2] Press the TIMER button, when you want to switch off the heater and ignite it again with the timer the next time. This not only switches off the heater, but it also activates the timer function. You can change the required time with the adjustment buttons.

10. Recovery after overheating

The heater is protected against damage caused by overheating.

A sensor will activate if the temperature in the housing exceeds 80^ .

Step 1: Switch the heater OFF.

Step 2: Allow the heater to cool down.

Ensure that the metal housing has cooled sufficiently before touching it.

Under normal conditions, a period of 30 to 45 minutes is sufficient to allow the heater to cool down completely.

Step 3: Pull the heater plug out of the socket.

Step 4: Look for the source of the overheating. Overheating is usually caused by objects that obstruct the free flow of air. Check that the circulation ventilator or exhaust pipes are not blocked. Check that there are no objects blocking the outlet system.

Step 5: Remove the front panel.

Step 6: Clean the inside of the heater.

Before starting to clean the heater, ensure that the interior is cool enough to touch. Wipe all dust off the outside of the housing with a clean, non-fluffy, damp cloth or another suitable cleaning aid. Do not forget to clean the outside of the heat chamber and the heat exchanger.

Step 7: Re-attach the front panel.

Step 8: Insert the heater plug into the socket.

Step 9: Switch the heater ON.

Step 10: Re-program the heater (clock and timer).

ZIBRO LASER FF 55 - Recovery after overheating - 1

Attention: If the heater overheats after the completion of a recovery procedure, contact your dealer and do not switch the heater on until the problem has been resolved.

11. Cleaning the filter (monthly)

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

Your Zibro needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner and the grid with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis.

Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well:

[1] Remove the removable tank from the heater and remove the fuel filter. 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.

Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your Zibro dealer for repairs. When the power cord is damaged, it may only be replaced by an authorized fitter. Use a new cord of the type H05 VV-F.

12. Before consulting an expert

The following situations do not indicate defects.

While switching the heater on or off.

White smoke can be seen when the heater is switched on for the first time.

Machine oil or dust on the burner chamber or heat exchanger is burning.

The flames flicker for several minutes after the heater has been ignited.

The ignition rod continues to function when the heater is cold, even several minutes after ignition. This may cause the flames to be a little larger.

The heater makes intermittent creaking sounds when warming up or cooling down.

Expansion and shrinkage of metal parts may cause a slight creaking sound.

Circulation of air in the room does not start immediately when the heater is lit.

To prevent unpleasant cold draughts, the ventilator only switches on when the heater has become warm.

A loud clicking sound can be heard during the first use or when the fuel runs out.

There is air in the fuel pump. This should be gone within approximately 1 minute.
