How do I turn on the ZIBRO R18E heater?

Question

Accepted Answer

The ZIBRO R18E heater is a wick kerosene stove equipped with an electric ignition system. Before turning it on, make sure that the removable tank is filled with deodorized lamp oil of class C1 (preferably Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal) and let it rest for 30 minutes so that the fiberglass wick properly absorbs the fuel. Also insert 4 LR20 (D size) batteries into the holder located at the back of the heater.

To turn on the heater, follow these precise steps:

Check the fuel: Check the fuel indicator to ensure that the tank is not empty.
Turn the wick adjustment knob: Turn the wick adjustment knob (notched knob on the control panel) all the way to the right until it stops. This action automatically activates the safety device.
Press the ignition button: Gently press the ignition button (do not force it). Release it as soon as a flame appears visibly in the combustion chamber.
Check the leveling: After ignition, check that the combustion chamber is perfectly straight by gently sliding it left and right by its handle. A smooth movement indicates that it is level; otherwise, combustion will produce smoke and soot.
Wait before checking: Wait 10 to 15 minutes after ignition before checking the quality of the combustion. A flame that is too high causes smoke and soot; a flame that is too low causes odors.

Key points: Never use matches or a lighter to ignite the device. Only use the electric ignition coil. If the heater goes out shortly after ignition, replace the batteries with new alkaline batteries. Ensure that there is always good ventilation in the room to avoid the automatic shutdown of the air quality control system (E-Guard). If an alarm sounds and a yellow VENT light comes on, immediately improve ventilation by slightly opening a window or door.

The 4-liter tank provides approximately 13.5 hours of continuous heating at maximum power. The heater can effectively heat a space of up to 42 m².
