Use only liquid fuel for oil heaters authorized by your country’s national standards. Never store fuel in closed rooms. Store only in a well ventilated place. Never use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, alcohol, camping gas, solvents, or other substances. These are all liquid substances which may cause explosions or fires. When starting up or turning off the heater, there will be a smell of fuel. This is perfectly normal. When the oil heater is running and room temperature has been reached (after approx. 5 to 10 minutes, depending on room size), there may be a faint, temporary smaell of fuel. Never store the fuel next to a heat source or in a sunny place. Do not keep fuel for more than a year as lengthy storage is detrimental to fuel quality. Old fuel will cause improper combustion in the burner. The use of low-grade fuel may have the following effects: Smoke and smells, small flames, ignition difficulties, extinguishing difficulties, quenching of the wick, short wick life, sinking of the wick, and carbon deposits on the wick. Should any of these problems occur, check the fuel and notify your specialist dealer.

5. UNPACKING AND SETTING UP THE

OIL HEATER a) Take the oil heater and the packed parts out of the box (Figure 2). N.B.: Keep the box and packaging materials for later storage. b) Open the safety grille at the right hand side of the heater (lift it up and pull it towards you). Take the burner out of the protective packaging (Figure 3). c) Open the lid of the fuel tank compartment on top of the heater and remove the protective foam rubber from the top and the protective carton from the bottom (Figure 3). d) Keep the packaging materials in the original box. e) To close the heater, first insert it in the slots at the top and then in the slots at the bottom. Never start up the heater if the grille is not properly locked in place and closed. f) Insert the batteries at the rear side of the heater (Figure 4).

Watch out for the (+) and (-) polarities of the batteries. – Whenever the heater is not in use, or when its operation is interrupted for an extended period of time, be sure to take out the batteries. g) Burner position (Figure 5) - Position the burner on top of the wick controller. - To make sure that the burner is in the right place, turn the burner knob back and forth three or four times until the burner settles properly on the wick controller. h) Check the automatic cut-out - Using the wick controller, turn the wick all the way to the top. - Press the OFF button. The wick must now move all the way to the bottom. - To check if the wick has really gone all the way down, test whether the wick can be lowered any further with the wick controller. The automatic cut-out is working correctly if it is impossible to move the wick down any further. Never start up the heater if this safety system is not working properly.

6. FILLING THE HEATER WITH FUEL

CAUTION: Never lift out the fuel tank or fill it while the heater is in operation or still hot. Never fill the fuel tank in your living quarters. This should be done strictly out of doors. To fill the oil heater with fuel, first take the removable tank, the fuel, and the manual pump outdoors. How to use the manual pump: Insert the rigid tube in the fuel storage canister and the flexible tube in the tank opening (Figure 6). Squeezing the bellows of the manual pump will transport the fuel from the canister into the tank. During the filling operation, always keep an eye on the fuel gauge to check the fuel level. When the tank is full, unscrew the cap on the siphon pump. This will interrupt the fuel flow. Then re-close. Do not allow the fuel tank to overflow. The manual pump must be completely drained before pulling the pipes out of the tank and fuel canister. Make sure that the screw caps of the tank and fuel storage canister are properly closed. Insert the tank into the fuel compartment. The fuel gauge must be visible at the front side of the heater. (If the tank is not inserted correctly, the tank compartment lid will not close. Figure 7) N.B.: Do not wait until the tank is completely empty before refilling it. Do not take the tank out for refilling if the heater is still in operation or while it is still hot.

Anleitung Comfort-Heizgeräte 31.10.2001 14:24 Uhr Seite 15 Important note for filling in fuel for the first time: When starting up the heater for the first time, make sure that at least two hours elapse between filling in the fuel and igniting the heater. This waiting period is necessary to allow the wick to be become saturated with fuel. Important note for igniting the convection heater for the first time: We strongly advise you to start up the convection heater for the first time outdoors so that the oils used during the manufacturing process are combusted out of doors and not inside your living quarters. N.B.: Switch off the heater and refill the tank before it is completely empty.

7. AUTOMATIC IGNITION

The convection heater is equipped with an automatic ignition system for added safety and comfort. Two (2) R 20 batteries are included with the heater to supply the automatic ignition system with the power required to light up the wick. For this purpose, the wick must be in its uppermost position. Start-up - Make sure that the batteries are properly in place. (Figure 4) - Turn the wick controller in clockwise direction until the wick has moved all the way to the top. (Figure 9) - Press the ignition button so that the ignition touches the wick and lights it. - Once the wick starts to burn, release the ignition button. This will cause the combustion chamber to be lowered automatically onto the wick. - Turn the burner back and forth a few times to ensure that the burner is seated correctly on top of the wick. (Figure 5) - Then follow the steps outlined in the next section.

This will cause the wick to be lowered. If this fails to lower the wick completely, turn the wick in counterclockwise direction with the wick controller until it is fully lowered. After about 2 or 3 minutes, lift the burner by the burner handle and check that the burner has indeed gone out. Inspection and regular maintenance of your heater Important! Never manipulate any of the following parts: - Automatic cut-out - Fuel gauge - Check to make sure that the oil heater is clean. All parts of the oil heater must be cleaned of lubricants and oil residues. To avoid smells, be sure to remove any fuel residues spilled when inserting the fuel tank. - Inspect the fuel tank on a regular basis. Lift out the tank and check it to make sure that it is not dented or leaking and that it is in perfect condition. Also, inspect the tank for rust spots. If the tank is damaged in any way, it must be replaced immediately. - Inspect the wick control system for soot deposits. Scrape off any soot or carbon deposits on the wick ring with a flat screwdriver. Do not allow any carbon deposits to drop onto the burner. - Check the automatic ignition system. If the automatic ignition system fails to work correctly, check to see whether the ignition wire is fractured or bent. Minor deformations can be corrected with a small nail. If the ignition wire is pulled apart or fractured, it must be replaced. CAUTION: Take out the batteries prior to replacing the wire. - Check the batteries. If, during ignition of the wick, the ignition wire fails to heat up sufficiently to produce a normal flame, the batteries must be replaced. - Check the wick ring. Check the wick prior to every use. Make sure that the wick is free of soot and carbon deposits. If the wick is soiled with soot or carbon, it must be cleaned promptly. If you encounter any problems with the wick:

9. CLEANING THE WICK (SOOT AND

CARBON DEPOSITS) Carbon and soot deposits accumulate on the top of the wick ring when the heater has been in operation a certain time. It is important to remove these deposits in order to ensure good combustion and correct extinguishing. Check the upper part of the wick once the heater has consumed 2 or 3 tanks of fuel. If it is rigid and brittle, this is a sign of carbon deposits. In some instances, soot will also have accumulated on the wick’s tip. The wick is in perfect condition if its upper tip is flexible. Other signs indicating carbon deposits on the wick: - the wick control knob is hard to turn - the heater is difficult to start up IMPORTANT: Carbon deposits must be removed out of doors. The oil heater will not function perfectly unless the wick is tended to on a regular basis. For this purpose, the carbon deposits which accumulate on the upper part of the wick must be removed. Cleaning the wick is accompanied by an unpleasant smell. It is essential, therefore, to take the heater out of doors, e.g. under a canopy or a similar well ventilated place. Removing the carbon deposits Keep the oil heater going, even if the tank is practically empty. Alternatively you can remove the tank cartridge and let the residual oil in the wick container burn away completely. Once the wick container is completely empty, the flames will go out slowly. Now turn the wick up all the way and let it continue to burn until it goes out completely. Wait for 30 minutes after the flame has gone out. Re-light the wick and again let it burn until it goes out completely. Once the wick has cooled down completely, remove any residual ash using a small brush or an old toothbrush. All the carbon deposits which have accumulated on the wick will be removed by this brushing. When you are finished brushing, the wick should have regained its original flexibility and look like new. If you find that certain areas on the upper part of the wick are still rigid, bend these areas of the wick with pliers, which will break up the residual carbon into small particles. After you have cleaned the wick once, check to see if you need to repeat the cleaning procedure in order to get completely rid of all the carbon deposits. If it turns out that the wick needs to be cleaned another time, fill the container with a small

Anleitung Comfort-Heizgeräte 31.10.2001 14:25 Uhr Seite 17amount of fuel and repeat the above procedure. When you are finished with the cleaning, fill the tank and wait another 30 minutes before turning the heater back on. We recommend you to clean the heater one week after starting it pu for the first time. Thereafter you should repeat this cleaning procedure on a regular basis to prevent the wick from getting hard again and to avoid new carbon deposits. During the winter heating season, the wick should be cleaned at least once a week, if possible. Be sure to inspect the wick frequently in order not to miss an essential cleaning interval.

10. CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC

IGNITION SYSTEM Observe the following instructions to ensure proper operation: R 20 batteries: The battery compartment is located on the rear side of the heater. Replace the batteries. Flame spark plug: Should the automatic ignition still not work, even after the batteries have been replaced, take out the flame spark plug. If the wire is fractured or bent, or if it does not ignite while the ignition button is being pushed, the spark plug needs to be replaced. IMPORTANT: Be sure to use a 2.5 V DC, 1 A spark plug. Replacing the flame spark plug (Figure 10) Remove the batteries. Open the safety grille and take out the burner. Press the ignition button in order to raise the flame spark plug. Press the flame spark plug and turn it in counterclockwise direction. Insert a new spark plug (2.5 V DC, 1 A only) and turn it in clockwise direction. Reinsert the burner, close the saftey grille, and replace the batteries. Lowering the wick by hand Pressing the OFF button while holding the wick control knob and then releasing it slowly will decrease the combustion speed of the wick. This way, fuel smells can be avoided if the OFF button of the oil heater was pushed inadvertently.

11. CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC

CUT-OUT During the oil heater’s main season in use, the automatic cut-out must be checked at least once a week. After turning off the heater, use the wick controller to turn the wick all the way to the top. Take the heater by the safety grille and shake it vigorously. If the automatic cut-out is working correctly, you will hear a loud sound as the clamping device unsnaps and the tension spring lowers the wick into the housing. To make sure that the wick is fully lowered, turn the wick controller in clockwise direction. If the system is working properly, the wick must be fully lowered. If it is not possible to lower the wick any further with the wick controller, you need to have it replaced by your specialist dealer.

If you follow the following instructions exactly, your oil heater will continue to work just as efficiently and reliably during the next heating season (Figure 11 / Figure 12). Swill a small amount of fuel around in the tank and rinse it out. Never mix any water with the fuel as this will cause the tank to rust on the inside. Remove the last traces of fuel from the heater (by burning away the fuel). Once the tank is empty, re-light the heater. Turn the wick all the way to the top and allow it to burn down completely (this takes about 1 hour). This procedure must be done outdoors. Take out the batteries. Allow the fuel tank to dry well on the inside. Remove any traces of carbon or soot which may have accumulated on the wick controller, the wick guide or the burner with a screwdriver and/or a small brush. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries before putting the oil heater away for storage. Before putting the heater away for storage, make sure that the wick is in the lowest possible position and that the automatic cut-out is unlocked.

Where is it safe to use the comfort heater? The oil heater must be set up only on level, horizontal surfaces. Do not set up the oil heater in passageways such as entrances or exits, and do not expose it to drafts. Do not set up the oil heater underneath a fireplace. Do not use the heater in rooms which are already warmer than 30°C. Never place the heater in close proximity to curtains or other flammable objects of any sort. Do not use the heater in campers, on boats, or in cockpits. Never leave the oil heater unsupervised during operation. How to operate the comfort heater? Read the operating instructions carefully before using the heater. After igniting the wick in accordance with the operating instructions, inspect it to make sure that it is burning properly. If the wick is too high or if the burner is too far up, combustion may be abnormal and even dangerous. An incorrectly adjusted wick may cause the smoke, smells, insufficient combustion and the accumulation of carbon deposits on the wick, and it may even shorten wick life. Use the heater only in well ventilated rooms. Never use the heater in rooms which contain flammable vapors or gases. Never use the heater to dry clothes. Never transport the heater while it is still in operation. Never use the heater to heat up or cook food. Never touch the top plate or the safety front grille while the heater is still in operation as these surfaces become burning hot. Never leave the heater unsupervised during operation. Make sure that the heater is really off before retiring for the night. If it is impossible to turn off the heater with the automatic cut-out, take out the tank immediately. If the flame keeps on burning in a normal way, the heater can be kept going until the fuel has burned away completely and the flame dies out. If the flames in the burner appear abnormal, i.e. if they are blazing out over the burner while it is impossible to turn of the burner with the automatic cut-out, the fire must be extinguished with an „A- B-C“ powder fire extinguisher. After such an incident, the heater must not be started up again until it was inspected and repaired in a specialist workshop. Use only fuel types authorized by your country’s national standards. Never place the burner in water (risk of rusting). Inspection and maintenance of the comfort heater. Consult your specialist dealer if you encounter any problems!
