Frequently Asked Questions - KMTES8 KICKER

How do I clean the griddle?

Allow the griddle to cool completely. Remove the drip tray and wash it with warm soapy water. Wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to protect the non-stick coating.

What are the temperature settings for different foods?

The adjustable thermostat ranges from 80°C to 230°C. For pancakes or eggs, use low to medium (80-150°C). For meat or fish, use medium to high (180-230°C). The indicator light shows when the set temperature is reached.

Can I use metal utensils on the griddle?

No, metal utensils can scratch the non-stick surface. Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to prolong the life of the coating.

Is the griddle dishwasher safe?

The drip tray is dishwasher safe, but the main griddle body and cooking surface should be hand washed to prevent damage to electrical components and the non-stick layer.

How do I store the griddle?

Ensure the griddle is clean and completely dry. Store in a dry place. You can wrap the cooking surface with a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Keep the power cord loosely coiled.

What does the auto shut-off feature do?

The auto shut-off automatically turns off the griddle after 30 minutes of inactivity or if the temperature exceeds safe limits, providing peace of mind and preventing accidents.

Can I use the griddle outdoors?

The KMTES8 is designed for indoor use only. Using it outdoors may expose it to moisture and debris, increasing the risk of electrical shock or damage.

What is the maximum load capacity of the cooking surface?

The griddle can safely hold up to 5 kg of food evenly distributed. Overloading may affect cooking performance and stability.

How long does it take to preheat?

Preheating typically takes 5-8 minutes depending on the desired temperature. The indicator light turns off when the set temperature is achieved.

Where can I purchase replacement parts?

Replacement parts such as the cooking plate and drip tray are available through the Kicker website or authorized retailers. Contact customer support for specific ordering information.

USER MANUAL KMTES8 KICKER

Owner's Manual | English

The KICKER KM Tower Enclosures are the perfect way to bring your music out into the marine or power sports environment. The KMTES8 is compatible with the KICKER KM8 speaker. The injection-molded ABS enclosures are UV treated, splash resistant, and weather resilient. Mount the KM Tower Enclosures in your boat or get creative with a pair of them in the garage, on your 4x4 or Side-by-Side's roll bars, or in any other bar-mounted application.

INSTALLATION

Mounting: Your KM Tower enclosures include plastic adaptor inserts for use with the four most popular tower tubing diameters: 2-1/4", 2-3/8", 2-1/2" and 2-5/8" (without inserts). If your tubing diameter is different, you may need to use the KMTAP Accessory pack, which includes adaptors for 1-5/8", 1-3/4", 1-7/8" and 2". For other tubing diameters, additional shims may be needed. Place the included upper and lower gaskets between the mounting inserts and mounting brackets.

Study your mounting bar for the best possible mounting locations. Spreading the KM Tower Enclosures apart will provide better stereo performance, and is usually preferable. When determining the best locations for mounting, be careful to look for obstacles or obstructions that could complicate mounting the KM Tower Enclosures. Please keep in mind the routing of your speaker wires as this can affect where you finally mount your KM Tower Enclosures.

Aiming: The mounting hardware design provides flexibility in angular mounting of your KM Tower-Enclosures. This is accomplished by using the included female-threaded internal mounting plates. It is recommended that you loosely assemble your KM Tower Enclosures and attach them to your mounting bar/tower to determine proper angular alignment.

Start by inserting two stainless socket-head cap screws through the lower mounting bracket, through the enclosure mounting holes, and into the threaded mounting plate. Leave these screws loose for the moment. Attach the enclosure to your mounting bar using the upper mounting bracket and two more stainless socket-head cap screws. While still loosely assembled, visually align your KM Tower Enclosures to the desired angle. Using tape, a pencil, or some other means, mark the mounting angle of the mounting bracket bottom in relation to the KM Tower Enclosure(s). Remove the enclosures and then do final tightening of the lower mounting bracket to the enclosure, aligning it with the marks you made. Once your final adjustments are made do not use excessive force to further aim the enclosures. If your aim is off, remove the KM Tower Enclosures and loosen the screws between the enclosure and the lower mounting bracket, then reset the angle.

loosely fill the enclosure with poly-fil, the white protective layer in the packaging. The KMTES will use one sheet for a woofer and one-half sheet for a horn.
attach soldered wiring from inner terminals to speaker terminals, keeping in mind the polarity of each.

Wiring: Attach the wiring from your amplifier to the outer speaker terminals. Attach the included internal wiring from the KMTES to your speaker, and then mount the speaker to the enclosure. If you are using a speaker or grille equipped with LED wiring, run this wire through the LED wire port located underneath the outer speaker terminals and then through the LED wire grommet.

LED wire grommet - Use to form a seal around the LED wiring and hole, preventing moisture from entering the enclosure.

Two identical light bulb components with leads, no text or symbols present

LED wire plug - Use to seal the LED wire hole located below the speaker terminals when LED-equipped speakers are not in use.

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

Contact your International KICKER dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your country's warranty policies.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling volume.
