WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ADVANCE

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, and indoors in the living room, kitchen, and garage. For comfortable and safe heating ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.
NOTE: To avoid unexpected shut-off, we recommend putting a door or window ajar when the heater is operating.

Only the use of the correct fuel will ensure the safe, efficient, and comfortable use of your heater.

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 high altitudes. 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
– 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 1900 meters.
– modify the heater’s 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.

This transportation cap is packed separately in the box. Only this cap ensures trouble-free transportation of the heater after use. Store it well!
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 combustion
• reduced heater lifetime
• smoke and/or fumes
• deposits on the grid or mantle
  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 your local dealer for the right fuel for your heater.

AUTOMATIC DEACTIVATION

This heater is fitted with a safety system that ensures that it switches off automatically after 65 hours of 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).

AUTOMATIC CLEANING MODE

When the heater has been burning continuously for two hours at its highest setting, the burner will automatically start an auto-clean 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 auto cleans. When the burner is clean again, the heater will automatically switch back to the highest setting again.

I CHILDPROOF LOCK / PARENTAL CONTROL

The childproof lock can be used to prevent children from 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 key**13** and holding it down for more than 3 seconds. The KEY-LOCK indicator will appear on the information display (Fig. I), indicating that the childproof lock has been activated. Switch off the childproof lock by pressing the key**13** and holding it down for more than 3 seconds once again.

J THE CORRECT USE OF ‘SAVE”

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 appropriate**16** 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.

K THE ‘FUEL’ INDICATOR T5)

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 appeared, the information display will show the number of minutes of fuel left in the tank.
You remove the fuel tank and refill it outside the living room (Section B). In the display, the number 10 will appear, and you will hear an alarm signal every two minutes, warning you to refill the removable tank. If you do not react, the heater will extinguish by itself. The heater will also sound a warning signal when it switches off. The fuel indicator will blink, while four lines (–:–) are blinking in the information display. You can stop this by pressing the button **12** once more. Once the heater has used up all its fuel and extinguished, it will take some time, after the refill, before the heater is completely ready for use again.

L THE ‘VENT’ INDICATOR

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.

M MAINTENANCE

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 vent filter **8** with a vacuum cleaner and the grid **2**with a damp cloth, both on a weekly basis. Regularly inspect the fuel filter as well:

1. Remove the removable tank **6**from the heater and remove the fuel filter (Fig. M). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand.
2. Remove the dirt by tapping the fuel filter upside-down against a hard surface. (Never clean it with water!)
3. Reinstall the fuel filter into the heater.

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 authorized fitter. Use a new cord of the type H05 VV-F.

N STORAGE (END OF THE HEATING SEASON)

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).

0 TRANSPORTATION

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

1. Let the heater cool down.
2. Remove the removable tank **6** from the heater and remove the fuel filter (refer to Section M, Fig. M). Some drops may leak from the filter; keep a cloth at hand. Store the fuel filter and the removable tank outside the heater.
3. Place the transportation cap into the position of the fuel filter (Fig. N). Press it tight. The transportation cap will, as much as possible, prevent oil leakage from the heater during transport.
4. Always move the heater to an upright position.
5. Make the fixed tank empty with a fuel pump before transportation or in case of wrong or dirty fuel. First, remove the fuel filter and then insert the fuel pump into the empty fixed tank. Follow the same procedure if the fuel tank contains water.
