INSTALLATION

Make sure to use the appliance only on a firm and sturdy underground. In case of doubt have underground checked by an expert.
WARNING – This appliance must be connected to an earthed power socket.
The heater is fitted with a supply cable and molded plug, therefore the terminals should not be interfered with. The following points should be considered when positioning the heater.

•  Your heater has been designed for use with high-quality, water-free pure paraffin oil such as Qlima Premium Quality Fuels or high quality, water-free pure diesel oil (not home-oil). We recommend you to use paraffin. 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, mantle or other objects
• Increased repair costs

Using the right fuel is therefore essential for safe, efficient and comfortable use of your heater.
Damage and/or malfunctioning of the heater due to the use of other than high- quality water-free pure paraffin oil or high quality, water-free pure die-sel oil (not home-oil) is not covered by the warranty.
Always refer to your local dealer for the right fuel for your heater.

FILLING FUEL

Fill the fuel tank in a suitable, well ventilated area. Please avoid spillage of fuel and respect following precautions:

• Make sure the heater is standing on a level surface
• Make sure the heater is switched off and cooled down completely
• Remove the fuel tank cap
• Ensure that the same fuel is added to the remaining fuel in the tank, unless the tank is empty.
• Fill the tank just below the maximum level in order to avoid spillage; the gauge indicates the fuel level
• Replace the fuel tank cap

IGNITING AND OPERATING THE HEATER

STARTING THE HEATER

After refilling the fuel, put the plug into an earthed socket. Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired setting (5 – 45ºC.) and put the power switch in the ‘ON’ position. The power indicator lamp will light up and the heater will start.
