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 K). 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.

Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869 Part two, or equivalent. BS 2869C1| 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: > excessive tar deposits on the glass fibre wick > _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. The fuel cap cover can be found at the rear of the heater. This cover allows you to keep your A hands clean when É Le Ææ. F opening the fuel tank. Always refer to your local dealer for the right fuel for your heater. This transportation cap is packed separately in the box. Only this cap ensures trouble-free transportation of the heater after use. Store it well!

En] Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents. In addition to the heater you also need to have: »> the batteries »> a manual fuel pump > a transportation cap »> a fuel cap cover > these directions for use Keep the box and the packaging materials (Fig. A) for storage and/or transportation. 2] Remove the other packaging materials: > Remove the packaging material from the grill @. Lift the grill from the slot (Fig. B) and pull it forward. »> Push the packing material on top of the combustion chamber @ slightly down and remove it (Fig. C). Remove the packaging materials from under the combustion chamber as well (Fig. D). » Put 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 @ (Fig. E). Close the grill: Slightly lift it to reposition it in its slot. »> Open the lid of the removable tank @ and remove the piece of cardboard. B] Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B. (a) Insert the batteries into their holder @ at the back of the heater (Fig. F). Ensure that the positive and negative poles match the + and - marks indicated on the battery housing. El 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. te] Your heater is now ready for use. B FiLuinG FUEL Do not fill the removable tank in the living room, but in a more suitable place (there can always be some spillage). Follow the procedure below: En] Make sure that the heater is switched off. 2] Open the 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) and screw off the fuel cap using the fuel cap cover (Fig. H). LGE]

empty full B] 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. l). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank. ta] Lock the valve on top of the pump (turn clockwise). El 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. te] Check the removable tank fuel gauge ® while filling the tank (Fig. J). 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 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.

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 @ to see whether the removable tank needs filling up (Green=full, Red=empty). Always ignite the heater with the knurled wick adjustment knob @. Never use matches or a cigarette lighter. Follow the procedure below: En] Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob @ clockwise to its stop (Fig. K). If you apply more pressure you may turn it slightly further; however, it will automatically return to the start position. When you have set the wick to its highest position, this action will automatically activate the safety device.

After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion chamber @ is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle @ (Fig. E). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

BURNING 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. R). If the flame remains low after the adjustment, the wick height must be adjusted (refer to Section F). Burning that is too low may be caused by: > _insufficient fuel (fill the tank) > poor fuel quality (contact your dealer) > _insufficient ventilation (put window or door ajar) > wastage of the wick (contact your dealer or replace the wick, refer to section M) This heater is fitted with a safety system that ensures that it switches off if you lift the exchange tank out of the heater for more than 5 seconds. To switch the heater on again, put the exchange tank back and follow the steps in section C.

SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER

Push the OFF-button @. The flame will extinguish after a little while.

ADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT

After a period of time the combustion may no longer be high enough (Section D). In that case you can adjust the wick height to improve the flame. To do this, the heater must have been switched off. Follow the procedure below: En] Push the OFF button @ (Fig. M). [2] Pull the knurled wick adjustment knob @ off the heater, so the wick height lock @ will be visible. B] Take the plastic collar between your thumb and index finger and pull it out. Turn the collar up one step, to either position 2 or 3 (Fig. N). Carefully push the collar back, so the pin engages in the recess. ta] Carefully reinstall the knurled wick adjustment knob. This can be done in one way only - check the rear of the cap for the correct position.

If adjustment of the wick height does not have the required effect, let the heater burn until all fuel has been used up (Section H). If the flame height is still too low and the wick is set on position 3, then contact your dealer, or replace the wick, refer to section M. If the flame gets too high after adjus- ting (Fig R), the wick height lock should be placed one position lower again. Otherwise smoke or soot may be caused.

MALFUNCTION, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

If any malfunctioning cannot be solved from the directions below, please contact your dealer.

THE HEATER DOES NOT IGNITE

> The batteries are not positioned correctly in the holder. Check (Fig. O). > There is not enough power left in the batteries for the ignition.

IRREGULAR FLAME AND/OR SOOT AND/OR SMELLS > The combustion chamber @ has not been positioned correctly. Use the handle @ to put it level, until you can easily slide it slightly to the left and to the right and the chamber is level. > You are using fuel which is past its ‘use by' date. Start every heating season with fresh fuel. > You are using the incorrect type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section ‘What you need to know in advance’). > Dust has gathered in the lower part of the heater. Contact your dealer. > Wick position wrong. See Section F.

THE HEATER SLOWLY EXTINGUISHES

> The removable tank is empty. See Section B. > The fuel filter is contaminated by water. Dry the fuel filter (Section H, Fig. P). > The lower reservoir is contaminated by water. Contact your dealer. > The wick has hardened on the upper side. Burn the heater until all fuel is used (Section H). Use the right fuel. > You are using fuel which is past its ‘use by' date. Start every heating season with fresh fuel.

THE HEATER REMAINS BURNING LOW

> Wick position too low. Reinstall the wick height lock (Section F). > Before you refilled the tank, the heater had burnt up almost all the fuel. After having refilled and replaced the removable tank, wait for 30 minutes before igniting the heater. > You are using the incorrect type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section ‘What you need to know in advance’). > The roomis insufficiently ventilated.

> You are using an incorrect, too volatile type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section ‘What you need to know in advance’). > Wick position too high. Reinstall the wick height lock (Section F). H mMaINTENANCE 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 two components are subject to wear:

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.

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 fuel filter 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.

Check the fuel filter regularly as well. Remove the removable tank @ from the heater and take out the fuel filter (Fig. P). Some drops of fuel may spill from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Turn the fuel filter upside down and clean it from all dirt deposits by tapping it on a hard surface. (Never clean it with water!) Reposition the fuel filter in the heater. a Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for repairs. a Let the heater cool down first, before you start any maintenance or service work. l STORAGE (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 store the heater properly. Follow the procedure on the next page: En] Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burn until all fuel is used. PB] Let the heater cool down. B] Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. (a) Remove the batteries from the holder @ and store them in a dry place.

10 TIPS FOR SAFE USE

1 Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning heater. 2 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. 3 Position the front of the heater at a minimum distance of 1.5 metres from walls, curtains, and furniture. 4 Do not use the heater in dusty rooms or in very draughty places. In both cases you will not have optimum burning. Switch off the heater, before you go to sleep. 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). 8 Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gasses or paint fumes). 9 The top plate of the heater becomes hot. Do not cover the heater (there is a risk of fire). Avoid any concact with the top plate and grille. 10 Always make sure that there is sufficient ventilation.

REPLACEMENT OF THE WICK
