Below you will find the main steps to be taken for using your heater. For more details, please refer to the MANUAL.
Ventilate sufficiently
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. 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.
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 (refer to Section P). 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 cm2).
We also recommend doing this in highly insulated or draught-free rooms and/ or at altitudes above 1300 metres. Do not use your heater in cellars or other underground areas.
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.
The user must comply with the following instructions for proper use:
DO NOT:
THE RIGHT FUEL
Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil. Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:
Damage and/or malfunctions of the heater due to the use of other than highquality water-free pure paraffin oil is not covered by the
Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure safe, efficient, and comfortable use of 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!
Defective electrical devices and batteries must be kept separate from household waste. Ensure that there is effective recycling where possible. Ask you local council or dealer for expert advice on recycling.
If the heater is used at a height of over 800 m, use the altitude mode. Push the altitude button 20 with thin rod like a clip and plug into the outlet simultaneously.
NOTE: When the altitude mode is set, the altitude mark "" is shown on the display.
NOTE: In the event of power failure or disconnection of heater, the altitude setting will remain.
Do not use the heater at a height of over 1300 meters.
Fill the removable tank in a suitable place since there can always be some spillage. Follow the procedure below:
It is only possible to set the correct time, when the heater is connected to the mains and not burning. Use the adjustment keys 14 to set the time. First press either of the two keys to switch on the function (the 4-digit 11 will start blinking). Next, set the hours using the key on the left ( hour) and the minutes using the key on the right (
min.). Press once to increase the value by one step. When you hold down the key, the value will continue going up, until you release the key again. After approximately 10 seconds the 4-digit will stop blinking and the setting will be locked (Fig. F). 5 minutes after switching off the heater, the information on the display will disappear and the heater will automatically switch into the stand-by position.
F: When the 4-digit stops blinking, the setting has been locked to the indicated value.
When the heater has been unplugged (or after a power failure), the time needs to be set again.
When used for the first time, a new heater may give out a smell for a short while. You should therefore provide extra ventilation.
Always ignite the heater with the
button 12. Never use matches or a cigarette lighter.
Just press the button 12 to ignite the heater. The POWER lamp will start blinking, indicating that the ignition procedure has started. This will take a short while. Once the heater is burning, the POWER lamp will remain lit (red). The information display 11 will show two numbers. The light next to them indicates that these numbers refer to the temperatures (Fig. G). The actual room temperature is indicated below ROOM, while the temperature setting is indicated below SET. The latter can be changed with the adjustment keys (refer to Section E). Prior to igniting the heater, always check for sufficient fuel in the removable tank.
G: The required temperature on the left, the measured temperature on the right.
The temperature setting can only be adjusted, when the heater is burning. Use the adjustment keys 14 to adjust the temperature. First press either of the two keys to switch on the function (the °C mark 11 will start blinking). Next, adjust the temperature using the key on the right (min.) to set the temperature to a higher setting and the key on the left (
hour) to lower the temperature. Press once to increase the value one step. After approximately 10 seconds the °C mark will stop blinking and the setting will be locked (Fig. G).
The available temperature settings range from 6°C minimum to 28°C maximum. When the heater has been unplugged (or after a power failure), the temperature will reset to the factory setting of 20°C.
The timer allows you to switch on the heater automatically at a preset time. In order to switch on the timer, the correct time must have been set (refer to Section C) and the heater should be off. Follow the procedure below:
When you want to switch off the heater and ignite it again with the timer, all you have to do is press the TIMER key (refer to Section G).
Press the button 12 once to clear the timer setting.
There are two ways to switch off the heater.
The information display 11 not only serves as an indicator of the (set) time and temperature (Sections C, E, and F), it also indicates any malfunctioning of the heater. The code on the information display tells you what is the matter:
In case of any malfunctioning the information display will tell you what is the matter.

This heater is fitted with a safety system that ensures that it switches off automatically after 69 hours continuous operation. The following will then appear in the display:. If desired, you can switch the heater on again by pressing the
button 12 (see Section D).
When the heater has been burning continuously for two hours at its highest setting, the burner will automatically start an autoclean procedure. The display will show the autocleaningcode running back to
. The procedure takes 5 minutes, during which the heater will burn at its lowest setting, while the burner autocleans. When the burner is clean again, the heater will automatically switch back to the highest setting again.
The childproof lock can be used to prevent children accidentally changing the heater settings. When the heater is burning and the childproof lock is on, the heater can only be switched off. Other functions are blocked then. If the heater has already been switched off, the childproof lock also prevents accidental ignition of the heater. Activate the childproof lock by pressing the appropriate key13 and holding it down for more than 3 seconds. The KEY-LOCK indicator will appear on the information display the information display (Fig. I), indicating that the childproof lock has been activated. Switch off the childproof lock by pressing the key13 and holding it down for more than 3 seconds once again.
I: When the mark appears, the childproof lock has been activated.
The 'SAVE' function allows you to limit the temperature. When this function is activated, the heater will automatically switch off, when the room temperature exceeds the set temperature by 3°C. Subsequently, when the room temperature has dropped again to the set temperature, the heater will automatically switch on again. Activate the 'SAVE' setting by pressing the appropriate16 key. The SAVE indicator light will light up (Fig. J). Switch off the function by pressing the SAVE key once again.
J: When the SAVE light lights up, the heater will automatically switch on or off in order to remain within a specified temperature range.
Without the 'SAVE' setting your heater will maintain the set temperature by approximation as well, by adjusting its heating capacity. 'SAVE' is an economy setting, which you can use when, for instance, you are not present in the room or to keep it frost-free.
When the FUEL indicator appears, it means that there is only fuel left for 10 more minutes. The count-down of the remaining heating time can be seen in the information display 11(Fig. K).
K: When the FUEL indicator has appeard, the information display will show the number of minutes of fuel left in the tank.
Now you have two options:
When the VENT indicator starts blinking, this is a sign that the room is not vented sufficiently (Fig. L). The heater will switch off automatically. If the indicator continues blinking after extra ventilation, please contact your dealer..
L: A blinking VENT indicator is a sign that you need extra ventilation.
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. It is, however, important that you clean the air filter 8 and the vent filter 9 with a vacuum cleaner and the grid 2 with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis. Remove the air filter cap occasionally (Fig. M) and clean it with soapy water.
Prior to reinstallation, make sure that the air filter cap has fully dried. Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well:
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 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 H05 VV-F.
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 A and as specified).
