Frequently Asked Questions - KA CH 8 KALORIK

How do I turn on the heater?

Plug in the unit. Turn on the Power/Fan switch to activate the fan. Then press one or both 900W buttons to enable heating. Adjust the Temperature control dial to set desired temperature.

Why does the heater smell when first used?

A slight, harmless odor may occur during initial use. This is normal and caused by the heating of internal elements. It will not happen again after the first few uses.

Can I use the flame effect without heat?

Yes. Turn on the Light switch and adjust the Light/Flame control dial for brightness. You can enjoy the flame effect without the heater or fan running.

How do I replace the light bulbs?

Unplug the unit. Open the front window, remove the screws on the grid, take off the back part, pull out the plastic coals, and replace the two bulbs with identical types. Reassemble in reverse order. Allow bulbs to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling.

What are the safety distances?

The heater must be placed at least 1 meter away from walls, furniture, curtains, or any combustible materials. Do not cover the unit.

Can I use this heater in a bathroom?

No. The manual warns not to operate the heater near baths, showers, washbasins, swimming pools, or any water containers. It must be impossible to reach the controls when in contact with water.

How do I clean the fireplace?

Wipe the housing with a slightly damp lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive pads or detergents. For dust in air outlets, use a vacuum cleaner. Always unplug before cleaning.

The heater shuts off automatically. Is that normal?

Yes. The Temperature control dial automatically shuts off the heater and fan once the room reaches the set temperature. This is a normal thermostat function.

What is the power consumption?

The heater has two 900 W elements, so maximum power is 1800 W. Running only one element uses 900 W. The fan alone uses minimal power (not specified, likely under 50 W).

Is this heater suitable for large rooms?

With 1800 W, it is best for small to medium rooms (up to about 20 m²). For larger spaces, consider supplementary heating. The thermostat helps maintain efficient temperature control.
