WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
THE RIGHT FUEL
Only use Class C1 paraffin fuel in accordance with BS2869: Part 2, or equivalent. Your Zibro heater has been
designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil, such as Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal. Only fuels
of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:
E
increased possibility of malfunctioning
E
incomplete burning
E
reduced heater lifetime
E
smoke and/or smells
E
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 dealer for the right fuel for your heater.
TIPS FOR SAFE USE
1 Make sure that children are always aware of the presence of a burning heater.
2 Position the front of the heater at a distance of minimum 1.5 metres from walls, curtains, and furniture.
3 Do not use the heater in dusty rooms. You will not have optimum burning in such rooms. Do not use the
heater in the immediate surrounding of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool.
4 Switch off the heater, before you leave or go sleeping. Unplug the heater as well, when you go away for
a longer period of time (e.g. holidays).
5 Store and move fuel only in suitable tanks and jerrycans.
6 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).
7 Never use the heater in places where harmful gasses or fumes may be present (e.g. exhaust gasses or
paint fumes).
8 Beware that the grid of the heater becomes hot. If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire.
9 Use only in accordance with state and/or local regulations, ordinances and codes.
10 Make sure the heater is on a level surface during operation
11 Do not service or refuel heater while in operation or still hot.
12 Do not operate in areas exposed to flammable vapors or high duel level to avoid fire or explosion.
• The first time you ignite your heater it will smell like ’new’ for a short time.
• Store your fuel in a cool and dark place.
• Fuel has a limited shelf life. Start every heating season with renewed fuel.
• The right quality of fuel will be assured, when you use Zibro Extra or Zibro Kristal for your
heater.
• If you change to another brand and/or type of parrafin oil, you must first finish up all the
remaining fuel in the heater.
