• * As a fire precaution, the tank must be filled either when the heater has been switched off or in another room than the room where the heater is installed.

  • Always ensure that the tank is closed properly after filling it at a safe distance from all sources of heat and open flames (see Section B).
  • The first time you ignite your heater it will smell like ’new’ for a short time.
  • Store all fuel containers with their original caps and seals in a cool and dark place.

• Fuel ages. Use new fuel at the start of every heating season.

• Only use high quality and water-free pure paraffin in accordance with local legislation (TOYOTOMI fuel).

• Before changing brands and/or types of fuel make sure that the mobile heater first completely empties all of the remaining fuel inside the heater.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT VENTILATION
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 K). 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 1500 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.
Be aware that the grid and the top plate become hot. If the appliance is covered there is a risk of fire. Due to high surface temperature, keep away from children.
Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure  safe, efficient, andcomfortable use of your heater.

SAFETY SYSTEM

When you have turned on the heater, if the room temperature is relatively low (19 to 20°C) it may automatically switch off. The cause of this is build-up of heat in the heater.
This is a logical consequence of the safety mechanism. This will not occur when using the heater at lower ambient temperatures.
ESPECIALLY FOR FRANCE:  Your heater was designed to operate exclusively on fuel for liquid fuel-operated mobile heaters in accordance with the Decrees of 18-072002 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
– use the liquid fuel-operated mobile heater in caravans, boats, and vehicle cabins.
– use the liquid fuel-operated mobile heater in insufficiently ventilated rooms (consult the table of properties for the minimum dimensions of the room to be heated), underground rooms and / or at a height of over 1500 metres.
– modify the heater safety features.
The use of this type of heating in public rooms is subject to prior regulatory permission. Obtain proper information on this in advance.
THE RIGHT FUEL
Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality water-free pure paraffin oil (TOYOTOMI fuel). Only fuels of this kind will ensure clean and proper burning. Lower quality fuel may result in:

• increased possibility of malfunctioning
• incomplete burning
• reduced heater lifetime
• smoke and/or smells
• deposits on the grid or mantle

This transportation cap is packed separately in the box. Only this cap ensures trouble-free transportation of the heater after use. Store it well!
Using the right fuel is therefore essential for safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.
Damage and/or malfunctions of the heater due to the use of other than high quality water-free pure paraffin oil is not covered by the warranty.
Always refer to (www.toyotomi.eu) for the right fuel for your heater.

MANUAL
A INSTALLING THE HEATER

1. 1. Carefully remove your heater from the box and check the contents.  

   In addition to the heater you also need to have:
   • a transportation cap
   • these directions for use
   Keep the box and the packaging materials (Fig. A) for storage and/or transportation.
   

2. Remove the other packaging materials:
   • Remove the packaging material from the grill 6. Lift the grill from the slot (Fig. B) and pull it forward.
   • Pull both ends of the packaging to the rear and at the same time slightly downwards (see Fig. C).
   •  Remove the combustion chamber 3 from the heater and remove the packaging (see Fig. D).
   •  Put the combustion chamber back into its place. The combustion chamber is positioned correctly when it can be smoothly moved a little to the left and to the right by its handle
   •  (Fig. E). Close the grill: Slightly lift it to reposition it in its slot.
   •  Open the lid of the removable tank 7 and remove the piece of cardboard.
   

3. Fill the removable tank as indicated in Section B.

4. Insert the batteries into their holder 10 at the back of the heater (Fig. F).

5. Ensure that the positive and negative poles match the + and – marks indicated on the battery housing. It is best to use new alkaline batteries (4x C-size).
   The floor should be firm and completely level. Reposition the heater, when it is not level. Do not correct the situation by placing books or other goods under the heater.

6. Your heater is now ready for use.

Do not use the heater at a height of over 1500 meters.

FILLING FUEL

Fill the removable tank in a suitable place since there can always be some spillage.
Follow the procedure below:

1. 1. Make sure that the heater is switched off.

2. Open the upper lid 7 and lift the removable tank 8 out of the heater (Fig. G). Put down the removable tank (cap pointing upwards, handle on the floor) and screw off the fuel cap (Fig. H).  NOTE:  Some drops may leak from the tank.
   

3. Take the manual fuel pump and insert the smooth, most rigid tube into the jerrycan. Make sure that it is in a higher position than the removable tank (Fig. I). Insert the ribbed hose into the opening of the removable tank.

4. Lock the valve on top of the pump (turn clockwise).
   

5. Squeeze the pump a few times, until fuel starts flowing into the removable tank. As soon as this happens, there is no need to press any longer.

6. Check the fuel guage of removable tank 9 while filling the tank (Fig. J). Stop filling by loosening the valve on top of the pump (turn anti-clock-wise), once the gauge indicates that the tank is full. Never overfill the tank, especially not when the fuel is very cold (fuel expands when it heats up).
   

7. Let the remaining fuel in the pump flow back into the jerrycan and carefully remove the pump. Carefully screw the fuel cap back on the tank (Fig. K). Clean off any spilled fuel.

8. Check whether the fuel cap is straight and tightened properly. Reinstall the removable tank in the heater (cap down). Close the lid.
   NOTE:  Be sure to tighten the fuel tank cap and confirm that there is no leakage of the fuel when the cap side is placed down. Then insert the removable fuel tank into the heater.

IGNITING THE HEATER

A new heater may give off some smells for a short while, when it is used for the first time. You should therefore provide extra ventilation or ignite the heater outside the living room.
 When you use the heater for the first time, first put the filled removable tank into place, and then wait approximately 30 minutes before you ignite the heater. This allows the glass fibre wick to soak up the fuel. Follow the same procedure when you have completely burnt up all fuel from the tank, and after the glass fibre wick has been replaced.
Before igniting the heater, always check the fuel indicator 5to see whether the removable tank needs filling up.
 Always ignite the heater with the knurled wick adjustment knob 2. Never use matches or a cigarette lighter. ”
Follow the procedure below:
Turn the knurled wick adjustment knob 2 clockwise to its stop (Fig. L). If you apply more pressure you may turn it slightly further; however, it will automatically return to the start position. When you have set the wick to its highest position, this action will automatically activate the safety device. When you have ignited the heater and it shuts off again shortly after, the batteries need to be replaced. It is best to use new alkaline batteries (4x C-size).
 After having ignited the heater, always check whether the combustion chamber 3 is level, by sliding it slightly to the left and the right by combustion chamber handle 4 (Fig. E). This should be a smooth movement. If the combustion chamber is not level, this will cause smoke and soot to develop.

BURNING OF THE HEATER

After you have ignited the heater, it will take 30 minutes before you can check whether the heater is burning well. Too high a flame may cause smoke and soot, whereas too low a flame causes smells. (Fig. R). 

 If the flame remains low after the adjustment, the wick height must be adjusted (refer to Section F).

Burning that is too low may be caused by:

• * insufficient fuel (fill the tank)

  • poor fuel quality (contact your dealer)
  • insufficient ventilation (put window or door ajar)
  • wastage of the wick (contact your dealer or replace the wick, refer to section M)

SWITCHING OFF THE HEATER

Push the OFF-button 1. The flame will extinguish after a little while (Fig. N).

ADJUSTING THE WICK HEIGHT

After a period of time the combustion may no longer be high enough (Section D).
In that case you can adjust the wick height to improve the flame. To do this, the
heater must have been switched off. Follow the procedure below:

1. 1. Push the OFF button 1(Fig. N).

2. Pull the knurled wick adjustment knob 2 off the heater, so the wick height lock 11 will be visible.
   

3. Take the plastic collar between your thumb and index finger and pull it out.  Turn the collar up one step, to either position 2 or 3 (Fig. O). Carefully push the collar back, so the pin engages in the recess.

4. Carefully reinstall the knurled wick adjustment knob 2. This can be done in one way only – check the rear of the cap for the correct position.

If adjustment of the wick height does not have the required effect, let the heater burn until all fuel has been used up (Section H).
If the flame height is still too low and the wick is set on position 3, then contact your dealer, or replace the wick, refer to Section M.
If the flame gets too high after adjusting (Fig R), the wick height lock should be placed one position lower again. Otherwise smoke or soot may be caused.

MALFUNCTION, CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS

If any malfunctioning cannot be solved from the directions below, please contact your dealer.
THE HEATER DOES NOT IGNITE

• * The batteries are not positioned correctly in the holder. Check (Fig. F).  

  • There is not enough power left in the batteries for the ignition. Replace (Fig. F).
  • You have run out of fuel from the tank or the wick has been replaced. After having refilled and replaced the removable tank, wait for 30 minutes before igniting the heater.

IRREGULAR FLAME AND/OR SOOT AND/OR SMELLS

• * The combustion chamber 3 has not been positioned correctly. Use the combustion chamber handle 4 to put it level, until you can easily slide it slightly to the left and to the right and the chamber is level.

  • You are using fuel which is past its ‘use by’ date. Start every heating season with fresh fuel.
• • You are using the incorrect type of fuel. Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section ’What you need to know in advance’).
    • Dust has gathered in the lower part of the heater. Contact your dealer.
    • The wick height is not correct. Contact your dealer.

THE HEATER SLOWLY EXTINGUISHES

• * The removable tank is empty.  

  See Section B.

  • The lower reservoir is contaminated by water.
    Contact your dealer.

• The wick has hardened on the upper side.
  Burn the heater until all fuel is used (Section H). Use the right fuel.

• You are using fuel which is past its ‘use by’ date.
  Start every heating season with fresh fuel.

THE HEATER REMAINS BURNING LOW

• * Wick position too low.  

  Reinstall the wick height lock (Section F).

  • Before you refilled the tank, the heater had burnt up almost all the fuel.
    After having refilled and replaced the removable tank, wait for 30 minutes before igniting the heater.

  • You are using the incorrect type of fuel.
    Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section ’What you need to know in advance’).

  • The room is insufficiently ventilated.
    Leave a window or a door wide open for a while.

THE HEATER IS BURNING TOO HIGH

• * You are using an incorrect, too volatile type of fuel.  

  Refer to THE RIGHT FUEL (See Section ’What you need to know in advance’).

  • Wick position too high.
    Reinstall the wick height lock (Section F).

MAINTENANCE

Your heater needs hardly any maintenance. It is, however, important that you remove dust and stains in time with a damp cloth, because otherwise these may cause stains that are hard to remove. Under normal conditions, only 3 components are subject to wear:

1. 1.  **THE BATTERIES**  

   You may replace the batteries yourself. Check the spark discharge sound. If the sound is cracked, the voltage of the battery is low. Please change the battery. Check the ignition plug following the maintenance procedure 3 if the sound does not change even after the replacement of the battery. Do not dispose of old batteries along with the other domestic waste. Follow the locally applicable regulations regarding the disposal of domestic chemical waste.

2. THE WICK
   To extend the glass fibre wick life, you must occasionally let the heater burn until the tank is completely emptied and the heater extinguishes by itself. Do this when you notice that the flame is weakening. The burn-out will cause some smells, so it is recommended that you take the heater outside of the living room.

3. ELECTRODES
   When the electrodes gets dirty by carbon or tar, clean the electrodes. If the electrodes digs into the wick, it may cause the ignition failure. Then fix the position of the electrodes. Be sure not to spill the water on the electrodes.

 Do not remove any heater components yourself. Always contact your dealer for repairs.
 Let the heater cool down first, before you start any maintenance or service work.

STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON)

We recommend that you burn up all the fuel in the fuel tank at the end of the heating season and store the heater properly. Follow the procedure on the next
page:

1. 1.  Ignite the heater outside the living room and let it burn until all fuel is used.

2. Let the heater cool down.

3. Clean the heater with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth.

4. Remove the batteries from the holder 10 and store them in a dry place.

5. Store the heater in a dust-free place, if possible in its original packaging. Unused fuel cannot be used for the next heating season. 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).

TRANSPORTATION

Take the following measures to avoid fuel leakage during the transportation of the heater:

1. 1. Let the heater cool down.

2. Remove the removable tank 8 from the heater and remove the fuel acceptance fitting (Fig. P). Some drops may leak from the fuel acceptance fitting; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel acceptance fitting and the removable tank outside the heater.
   

3. Place the transportation cap into the position of the fuel acceptance fitting (Fig. Q). Press it tight.

4. Always move the heater in an upright position.
