2.1 Disimballaggio
- Estrarre con cautela la stufa dall'imballaggio.
- Rimuovere tutti i materiali di imballaggio, comprese eventuali pellicole o nastri protettivi.
- Ispezionare la stufa per verificare la presenza di eventuali danni. In caso contrario, non utilizzarla e contattare il rivenditore.
2.2 Alimentazione del riscaldatore
The Qlima R4024TC operates on pure kerosene (paraffin) fuel. Using the correct fuel is crucial for safe and efficient operation.
- Prima di fare rifornimento, assicurarsi che il riscaldamento sia spento e completamente freddo.
- Locate the fuel tank cap, usually on the top or side of the heater.
- Carefully pour kerosene into the fuel tank using a funnel to prevent spills. Do not overfill; leave a small air gap at the top.
- Richiudere saldamente il tappo del serbatoio del carburante.
- Asciugare immediatamente il carburante versato.
Nota: After initial fueling or refilling, allow approximately 60 minutes for the wick to fully saturate with kerosene before attempting to light the heater.
2.3 Posizionamento
- Posizionare la stufa in un luogo ben ventilato.
- Ensure a minimum clearance of 1 meter (3 feet) from walls, furniture, and other combustible materials.
- Do not place the heater near exits or in high-traffic areas where it could be accidentally knocked over.
3. Istruzioni per l'uso
3.1 Avviamento del riscaldatore
- Ensure the fuel tank is adequately filled and the wick is saturated.
- Turn the control knob to the "ON" or "IGNITE" position. This will typically lower the wick and activate the igniter.
- Osserva la fiamma attraverso il viewing window. A proper flame should be blue at the base and yellow at the top, without excessive smoke.
- If the heater does not ignite on the first attempt, wait a few minutes and try again. Do not repeatedly attempt to ignite without allowing fuel to flow.
3.2 Regolazione della potenza termica
The heat output is controlled by adjusting the wick height.
- Aumentare il calore: Turn the control knob to raise the wick.
- Diminuire il calore: Turn the control knob to lower the wick.
Attenzione: Do not raise the wick too high, as this can cause excessive flame, smoke, and soot. Do not lower the wick too much, as this can extinguish the flame or cause incomplete combustion.
3.3 Spegnimento del riscaldatore
Per spegnere il riscaldamento:
- Turn the control knob to the "OFF" position. This will automatically retract the wick and extinguish the flame.
- Lasciare raffreddare completamente la stufa prima di spostarla o riporla.
Spegnimento automatico: The Qlima R4024TC is equipped with an automatic shut-off mechanism that activates if the heater is accidentally knocked over or if carbon monoxide levels become unsafe. If this occurs, the heater will extinguish the flame and shut down. Investigate the cause before attempting to restart.
4. Manutenzione
4.1 Wick Maintenance and Replacement
The wick is a consumable part and will require periodic cleaning and eventual replacement for optimal performance.
- Quotidiano: After each use, allow the heater to cool. Briefly turn the wick up and down a few times to remove any carbon buildup.
- Monthly/As Needed: If the flame becomes uneven or produces excessive smoke, the wick may need cleaning or trimming. Consult the detailed wick replacement instructions provided with your replacement wick kit or contact Qlima support.
- Sostituzione: Wicks typically last one heating season, depending on usage and fuel quality. Replace the wick when it no longer provides a consistent flame or cannot be adjusted properly.
