Frequently Asked Questions - KH 9 SILVERCREST

How to turn on the KH 9 heater?

Make sure the thermostat (3) and heat level switch (2) are set to MIN/O. Plug in the appliance. Set the switch to 'III' and the thermostat to MAX. The 'Power' indicator (1) lights up.

What to do if the heater does not heat?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the thermostat is not set to MIN. Make sure the heat level switch is set to a position other than '0'. If the 'Power' indicator is off, the thermostat may have reached the desired temperature.

How to use the fan function?

Activate the fan convector switch (4) to the ON position. The integrated indicator lights up and hot air is blown through the outlet (5). For quick heating, combine this function with a high heat level.

How to set the desired temperature?

Turn the thermostat (3) to MAX to heat quickly. Once room temperature is reached, slowly turn the thermostat back until you hear a 'click': the 'Power' indicator goes off. The temperature is then maintained.

Can the heater be used in a bathroom?

No, it must not be used near water (bathtub, shower, sink) or in damp rooms. The appliance is not waterproof and poses a risk of electric shock.

How to activate the frost protection?

Plug in the appliance, set the heat level switch (2) to 'I', 'II' or 'III' and the thermostat (3) to MIN. The heater automatically turns on if the temperature drops to 0°C and turns off above that.

What to do if the appliance leaks oil?

Do not restart. Unplug it immediately and have it checked by a qualified professional. The oil is special and any leak requires repair.

How to clean the KH 9 heater?

Allow the appliance to cool down, then unplug it. Clean with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive or chemical products.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, using an extension cord is prohibited. The power cord must be plugged directly into an installed and grounded wall socket.

What are the available heat levels?

The switch (2) offers three levels: 'I' for slow heating, 'II' for medium heating, and 'III' for fast heating. You can also combine with the fan for faster heating.

Assembly

Use the fold-out page of these instructions to assist you with the assembly.

1. Take the oil radiator and all components from the package and remove all packaging materials.
2. Place the oil radiator, with the base uppermost, on a soft surface, for example a carpet.
3. Place a mounting bracket under the heater element so that the parts with a screw thread project upwards.
4. Lay a roller railer over it, such that the screw threads protrude through the holes. Check to ensure that the recesses on the roller railers face outwards. The screw ends projecting from the appliance must reach into the recesses.
5. Screw one wing nut 10 onto each of the threaded ends of the mounting bracket 8 until it is hand tight.
6. Proceed in the same manner with the other side.
7. Turn the appliance over and place it on the rollers.

Commissioning

1. Unwind all of the power cable from the power cable retainer 7.

① Note:

Ensure that the thermostat 3 and the heat level switch 2 are standing at MIN resp. 0.

1. Insert the power plug into a wall power socket.
2. Place the heat level switch 2 at "III" and the thermostat 3 at MAX. The control lamp "Power" 1 glows.

1 Important:

With the heat level switch 2 you can regulate how quickly the appliance warms up. If you wish to heat it up particularly quickly, select heat level "III", if a slow warming up is preferred, select heat level "I". Using the thermostat 3 you can set it to the desired temperature.

1. When the desired room temperature has been reached, slowly turn the thermostat 3 back until a quiet "click" is heard and the control lamp "Power" 1 extinguishes. The momentary room temperature will now be retained. It could be that every now and then the control lamp "Power" 1 switches itself on and then back off. This means that the programmed room temperature had fallen below this level for a short period and the appliance had warmed itself back up.

① Note:

If you want to heat a room up particularly quickly, activate additionally the warm air switch 4.

When the warm air switch 4 is positioned at ON, the warm air control lamp 4 glows and warm air is blown through the warm air outlet 5 into the room.

1. If you wish to switch the appliance off, first place the warm air switch 4 at the position OFF. Next, turn the heat level switch 2 to "0" and then the thermostat 3 to MIN.
2. Remove the plug from the wall power socket.

Frost protection function

You can programme this oil radiator so that, if the room temperature falls near to 0^ , it switches itself on and begins to radiate heat automatically:

1. Insert the power plug into a wall socket.
2. Position the heat level switch ② at "I", "II" or "III", and the thermostat ③ at MIN.

The oil radiator will now switch itself on if the temperature falls near to 0^ . When the temperature rises above 0^ , the oil radiator switches itself off automatically. The oil radiator will switch on and off periodically to maintain the room temperature above 0^ .

Cleaning and care
