VENTILATE SUFFICIENTLY This heater is equipped with an air quality control system. When there is insufficient ventilation in the room or when the heater is being used in a room which is too small, the heater will shut off automatically. For comfortable and safe heating ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Note: To avoid unexpected shut off, we recommend to put a door or window ajar when the heater is operating. Read this user manual carefully before using the appliance and keep it for future reference. Install this device only when it complies with local/national legislation, ordinances and standards. This product is intended to be used as a heater in residential houses and is only suitable for use in dry locations, in normal household conditions, indoors in living room, kitchen and garage. Regardless of the model, you must always make sure that the heater is used in a room large enough to enable the heater to be used safely without extra ventilation. If the room is smaller than required, you must always open a door or window slightly (ensuring an opening of approx. 2.5 cm). It is important that every room where the heater is used has sufficient air intake and efficient air outflow (both openings must have a minimum cross section of 50 cm’). No modifications to the safety system are allowed, as that will invalidate the guarantee that the air probe will work properly. Consult your dealer in case of doubt. Especially for France: Your heater was designed to operate exclusively on fuel for liquid fuel-operated mobile heaters in accordance with the Decrees of 18-07-2002 and 25-06-2010. The use of other fuels is forbidden. Ask your dealer or check our website for the addresses of our retailers. The liquid fuel-operated mobile heater is intended as an extra heater, and not as a continuous source of heat. Especially for United Kingdom: Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869; Part 2, or equivalent. = Le = The user must comply with the following instructions for proper use: DO NOT - use the liquid fuel-operated mobile heater in caravans, boats, and vehicle cabins; - use the liquid fuel-operated mobile heater in insufficiently ventilated rooms A (consult the table of properties for the minimum dimensions of the room to be Only the use of the heated), underground rooms and / or at a height of over 1000 metres; correct fuel will ensure - modify the heater safety features. safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.

If you turn off the power earlier, uncontrolled symptoms can occur (release of smoke, smell etc.).. Causes Igniting takes about 45 seconds. After filling the tank, wait till the fuel has reached the fixed tank. Repeat ignition 2 or 3 times. This sound is made by the elec- tric ignition. This can happen if the fuel does not circulate past the burner properly That is the protective lacquer getting warm. This soon stops. Give the space more ventila- tion. The space is too large. The ambient air is damp or salty or it contains too many impu- rities. The heater is being used in a small insulated space or the outside temperature is relati- vely high. Turn the heater off. This is because the displayed ambient temperature is an indi- cation of the average tempera- ture of the space. This is the sound of the metal expanding. Aticking sound: can occur when the heater cools off.

If the low fuel level indicator lights up in combination with a short tone, then the fuel tank is empty. The heater will automatically burn at its lowest setting for a period of about 80 minutes. The fuel tank must be replenished.

Fuel filter > remove the removable tank from the heater and fill it with new fuel (outside the living space in a safe place) (see chapter B) If you take no action, the fuel tank will be emptied and the display will indicate “E 03" (fig. Q). The heater is automatically turned off. To ignite the heater once more, fill the tank and waït a few minutes. Then press the ON / OFF button @.

CHECKING THE AIR QUALITY

If the space is insufficiently ventilated, the indicator E17 will light up and the heater is automatically turned off. As soon as you hear this signal, ventilate the space (e.g. by opening a door or a window). As soon as the space has been ventilated sufficiently, (e.g. by opening a door or a window) the heater can be ignited by pressing the ON/OFF button @. MAINTENANCE 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. EI Clean the ventilator filter (fig. R). Clean the fuel filter: EI Remove the removable tank @ from the heater and remove the fuel filter (Fig. S). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. B] Remove the dirt by tapping the fuel filter upside-down against a hard surface. (Never clean it with water!) B] Reinstall the fuel filter into the heater. We recommend that you remove dust and stains from time to time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these may cause stains that are hard to remove. Do not use solvents or alcohol to clean the heater: fire hazard. Clean very dirty components with a light synthetic cleaning agent. 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 HO5 VV-F.

Transport cap M sroraGe (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 À and as specified). N TRANSPORTATION Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of the heater: En] Let the heater cool down. P2] Remove the removable tank @ from the heater and remove the fuel filter. Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel filter and the removable tank outside the heater. B] Empty the fixed fuel tank (fig. U). [a] Place the transport cap. El Always move the heater in an upright position. Make the fixed tank empty with a fuel pump before transportation or in case @ of wrong or dirty fuel. First remove the fuel filter and then insert the fuel pump into the empty fixed tank. Follow the same procedure if the fuel tank contains water.
