Frequently Asked Questions - R59C ZIBRO

What fuel to use with the ZIBRO R59C?

Use only high-quality pure paraffin, such as Zibro Plus Extra or Zibro Plus Kristal. Unsuitable fuel can cause deposits, odors, smoke and reduce the lifespan.

How to turn on the heater?

Open the front door, then simultaneously push the flame height adjustment mechanism (②) and the ignition mechanism (③) down until a flame appears. Then release the ignition. Never use matches or a lighter.

What to do if the flame is too low?

First check the fuel level (green indicator = full, red = empty). If the tank is full, wait 30 minutes after refilling. If the problem persists, readjust the wick height (chapter F) or use fresh fuel.

How to adjust the flame height?

Wait 10 to 15 minutes after ignition. Use the adjustment mechanism (②) to adjust the flame continuously. The height should be between the indicated marks (fig. Q). A flame too high produces soot, too low generates odors.

When and how to replace the wick?

Change the wick every 3 to 4 seasons, or if the flame remains low even at position 3. To replace, turn off the appliance and let it cool. Follow the steps in chapter M: remove the burner, unscrew the mantle, replace the wick in the ring, then wait 1 hour before relighting.

How to clean the fuel filter?

Remove the removable tank, then take out the filter. Clean it with paraffin or a blower (never with water). Replace it and put the tank back. Do this regularly to prevent blockages.

Why does my appliance emit an odor?

At first use, a 'new' smell is normal: ventilate the room. If the smell persists, check the fuel (used or poor quality), the flame height (too low), or the burner position. A badly positioned burner can also cause smoke.

Is it safe to leave the appliance on overnight?

No, it is not recommended. Always turn off the heater before going out or going to bed (chapter E). The appliance must be used in a properly ventilated room and away from flammable materials.

What to do in case of fuel leak?

Immediately stop the appliance with the safety button (①). If the leak is significant, use a type B extinguisher (carbon dioxide or powder). Do not move the appliance if on fire. Consult a dealer for repair.

How to store the appliance at the end of the season?

Let the appliance consume all fuel until it goes out, then cool. Clean it, remove the batteries, clean the filter, and store it in a dry, dust-free place, ideally in its original packaging. Use the transport cap to prevent leaks.

Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure 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 hands clean when opening the fuel tank.

This transportation cap is packed separately in the box. Only this cap ensures trouble-free transportation of the heater after use. Store it well!

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 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.

SAFE TOP

The heater is supplied with a safe top. This application decreases the temperature of the top plate. In this way, the risk of harmful accidents at accidentally touching the top plate is considerably decreased. However, be aware that the top plate still becomes hot.

Avoid any contact with the top plate and grille.

THE RIGHT FUEL

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

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

A INSTALLING THE HEATER

1 Carefully remove your Zibro Kamin 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 ⑦. Lift the grill from the slot (Fig. B) and pull it forward.
Push the packing material on top of the combustion chamber 4 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 ③ and remove the piece of cardboard.

3 Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B.
4 Insert the batteries into their holder 13 at the back of the heater (Fig. F). Ensure that the positive and negative poles match the + and - marks indicated on the battery housing.
5 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 goods under the heater. Please refer to the separate instruction in the carton box for fixing of the heater.
6 Your Zibro Kamin heater is now ready for use.

B FILLING 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:

1 Make sure that the heater is switched off.
2 Open the lid 8 and lift the removable tank 9 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).

3 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. 1). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank.
4 Lock the valve on top of the pump (turn clockwise).
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.
6 Check the removable tank fuel gauge ⑩ 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).
7 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 (Fig. H). Clean off any spilled fuel.
8 Check 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.

Prior to igniting the heater, always check the fuel indicator 6 for sufficient fuel in the removable tank. Green = full, red = empty.

Always ignite the heater with the igniter slide. Never use matches or cigarette lighters.

Follow the procedure below:

1 Open the door 14 at the front of the heater.
2 Slowly push down the igniter slide ③ together with the flame regulator ② (Fig. K). At the same time you will activate the safety device.
3 Release the ignition slide as soon as a flame is visible at the bottom of the combustion chamber 4.
4 Close the door.

After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion chamber 4 is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by its handle 5. This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

D ADJUSTING THE FLAME

After you have ignited the heater, it will take 10 to 15 minutes for the flame to become visible in the upper end of the combustion chamber. Only then can you check whether the flame is correct. 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 adjusted continuously with the flame regulator 2 (Fig. L).

If the flame remains low after the adjustment, the wick height must be adjusted (refer to Section F).

Too low a flame may also be caused by:

insufficient fuel (fill the tank)
poor fuel quality (contact your dealer)
insufficient ventilation (leave window or door ajar)
wastage of the wick (contact your dealer or replace the wick, refer to section M)

E SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER

Let the heater burn at its lowest setting for approximately one minute. Then slowly slide up the flame regulator ②. The flame will extinguish by itself.

In cases of emergency: switch off the heater with the safety device ① (Fig. M).

F ADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT

After some time the flame may no longer be high enough (Section D). In that case you can adjust the wick height to improve the flame. To do this, follow the next procedure:

1 Open the door 4 at the front of the heater.
2 Slide up the wick height lock 1 one step to position 2 or 3 (Fig. N).

If this does not have the required effect, let the heater burn until all fuel is used (Section H).

If the flame still remains too low after that and the wick is already set to position 3, contact your Zibro Kamin dealer, or replace the wick (Section M).

If the flame rises too high after the adjustment (Fig. Q), lower the wick height lock setting one position. Otherwise there is a chance of smoke and soot production.

H 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 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. If the flame position isn't high enough in position 3 of the wick height lock 1 , the wick needs to be replaced. Refer to section M or contact your Zibro Kamin dealer for replacements.

3. THE IGNITION COIL

The ignition coil will last longer if you ignite in the right way. Replace the batteries on time and make sure you do not push down the ignition slide too forcefully. If the filament is broken, you should replace the coil.

THE FUEL FILTER

Check the fuel filter regularly as well.

Remove the removable tank ⑨ from the heater and take out the fuel filter (Fig. O). 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.

• 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 (refer to Section E). In cases 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

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.
5 Switch off the heater, before you go to sleep.
Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans.
7 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.
