Frequently Asked Questions - KCE85 Kambrook

How do I clean the heater?

Unplug the heater and allow it to cool. Use a soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Clean the air intake grille with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Do not use water or chemicals.

Why is my heater not producing heat?

Check that the thermostat is set above room temperature. Ensure the heater is plugged in and the power is on. If the overheat protection has tripped, allow the unit to cool for 15 minutes and it will reset automatically.

Can I leave the heater unattended?

It is not recommended. Always supervise the heater while in use, especially around children or pets. The heater includes safety features like tip-over switch and overheat protection, but caution is advised.

What is the power consumption of the heater?

The heater has two power settings: 2000W on high and 1000W on low. This translates to approximately 2 kWh per hour on high setting.

How do I set the timer?

Press the timer button repeatedly to set the desired auto shut-off time, from 1 to 12 hours. The digital display will show the selected time.

Is the heater safe to use in a bathroom?

No, this heater is not designed for bathroom use. It is intended for indoor use in dry areas only. Keep away from water and moisture.

Why does the heater make a clicking noise?

Clicking sounds are normal when the thermostat switches the heating element on and off. If the noise is excessive, ensure the heater is on a stable, level surface.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is recommended to plug the heater directly into a wall outlet. If an extension cord is necessary, use a heavy-duty cord rated for at least 2000W and fully unroll it.

Where can I buy replacement filters?

Replacement filters can be purchased from Kambrook's official website or authorized retailers. Refer to the user manual for the correct part number.

To turn the heater off, turn the heat control to the 'OFF' position, turn off at the power outlet and unplug from the outlet.

Using Your Kambrook Heater

Before First Use

Remove your heater from its carton and associated protective wrapping. Unwind the cord to its full length and remove any protective cardboard or foam that may have been used to minimise transportation damage. Place the heater on a firm, level surface in a stable upright position.

Visually inspect the air inlet and outlets to ensure no foreign material is blocking these areas. The heater must always be operated with the rear air filter in position.

Turning Your Heater On

Before turning the heater ON, turn the thermostat control to the minimum position, then turn the heat settings control to the 'OFF' position.

Plug the cord into a 230V or 240V electrical outlet. Be sure the plug fits tightly as a loose fit will cause overheating and damage the plug.

NOTE: To avoid an electrical circuit overload, it is recommended that no other appliances are plugged into the same circuit with your heater when you switch the unit on.

Turn the thermostat control to the maximum position, and then turn the heat settings control to desired heat setting.

Turning the heat settings control to setting '1' will set the heater into low heat mode (900 watts).

Turning the heat settings control to setting '2' will set the heater to high heat mode (1800 watts).

Turning the heat settings control to fan mode ♣ is for fan-only operation with no output of heat.

To turn the heater OFF, turn the heat settings control to 'OFF' position and variable thermostat control to 'MIN' position. This will turn the neon power indicator light off. Turn off at the power outlet and remove the plug from the power outlet.

NOTE: There is a tip-over switch fitted to this heater. If the heater is tipped over, it will automatically turn off. The heater will need to be placed back into the upright position to resume heating again.

Setting the Variable Thermostat Control

The variable temperature control can be used to maintain your desired temperature.

1. To set the desired temperature, turn the heat setting control to setting '2' and turn the thermostat control to the 'MAX' position to set the heater into high heat mode.

2. Once the room temperature feels comfortable, turn the thermostat control slowly to the minimal position until a click sound is heard. This automatically allows the thermostat control to remain at the desired temperature.

3. When the air temperature drops below the set temperature the unit will begin heating again.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, DO NOT COVER the heater

Hints/Tips to Retain Heat in Your Home

• Don't overheat your home. The temperature of a heated room in winter should be 18-21°C.
• Your heater will work more efficiently if you stick to Kambrook's recommended clearance spaces.
• Choose the right size heater for the room type you want to heat.
  • Zone off unoccupied rooms by closing doors and only heat the main living areas.
• Fit window coverings like curtains to halve winter heat loss.
• Put draft stoppers, such as a rolled up towel, at the bottom of outside doorways to keep out cold air.
• Keep the heat in and the cold out by installing wall and ceiling insulation.
• Avoid placing items too close to the heater (both at the front and back) for optimal air flow.

Care, Cleaning and Storage

• Ensure that the heater is switched OFF, then switched off and disconnected from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Use a clean, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the heater. If the heater has collected dust or dirt inside the unit or around the elements, have the unit cleaned by a qualified service agent. Do not operate the heater in this condition.
• Do not attempt to open the case of the heater at any time as there are no customer serviceable parts inside.
• When not in use, store the heater (preferably in its original box) in a cool, clean and dry location.

Cleaning the Filter

Your Kambrook Personal Ceramic Heater comes with a mesh filter located at the rear of the heater to help keep dust and debris away from the working parts. It is recommended to regularly check your heaters filter for clogging and dust build up. The filter should be checked after every use to ensure heating efficient performance.

Always switch the heater to OFF, then switch off at the power outlet and unplug from the power outlet prior to removing the filter for cleaning.

To access the filter, ensure the heater is in the upright position and then remove the filter cover by pulling down on the two release levers at the top of the cover and then carefully lift the cover upwards until it is completely free of the heater (see Fig 1).

It is then necessary to separate the mesh filter from the filter cover (see Fig 2).

Once separated, shake both the filter cover and the mesh filter into a rubbish receptacle until all fine dust particles and debris are removed. Wipe over with a soft, dry cloth if required to remove particles.

To replace, reinsert the mesh filter to the filter cover, align the two tabs at the back of the filter lid with the two holes at the back of the lid, and then press down on the cover until it "clicks".
