Frequently Asked Questions - Touch Control Tower KCE480 Kambrook

How do I clean the dust filter on the KCE480?

Always unplug the heater first. Remove the screw at the top of the filter, press down on the tab, and pull the filter bracket away. Shake or vacuum the filter to remove dust. Reattach by aligning grooves and pushing until it clicks, then replace the screw.

What does the tip-over safety switch do?

If the heater is accidentally tipped over, the tip-over switch will immediately cut power. Once placed upright, the heater enters standby. Press the Power button to resume operation.

How do I set the auto-off timer?

First select your heating mode, then press Timer. Use + or - to choose hours (1-12). The timer icon appears and counts down. To cancel, set the timer to 0.

Why won't my heater turn on?

Check that the power plug is fully inserted into a 230-240V outlet and the outlet is switched on. Ensure the heater is on a flat, level surface as the tip-over switch may be activated. Press the Power button to start.

Can I use this heater on a carpet?

Place the heater on a hard, flat surface. High-pile carpets may trigger the tip-over switch and stop operation. If this happens, move the heater to a solid floor.

What is Smart Eco mode?

Smart Eco mode lets you set a desired temperature (10-35°C). The heater automatically adjusts between Low and High heat to maintain that temperature, then switches to standby when reached.

How do I reset the ThermoGuard overheat protection?

If the heater overheats, it will shut off. Unplug the heater, check for blockages at the air inlet/outlet, and allow it to cool completely (about 30 minutes). Plug in again and restart.

How do I use the remote control?

Remove the battery isolating slip before first use. Point the remote at the heater's LED display from up to 5 meters. If it stops working, replace the CR2025 battery with the + side facing up.

Can I use the heater in a bathroom?

No. Do not use near water, baths, showers, or swimming pools. The heater is for indoor household use only in dry locations.

How should I store the heater?

After use, unplug and let it cool. Store upright in a cool, clean, dry place. Never wrap the cord around the heater.

Diagram of a device with a clip and directional arrows indicating movement, labeled 'Fig. 1' (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

- If required, remove the old battery and insert the new battery, paying attention to the polarity (+ and -). Reinsert the battery compartment into the remote control ensuring that the + symbol is facing upwards when inserted (Fig 2). Make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured.

- To use the remote control, point it at the display screen on the heater and used within five meters.

HINT: When correctly inserted, the text on the battery will be facing the bottom of the remote and the compartment is fitted correctly when it slides in all the way.

WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

Swallowing may lead to serious injury in as little as 2 hours or death, due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.

If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call the 24-hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 for fast, expert advice. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if compartment is not secure.

Check regulated terms.

Using Your Kambrook Ceramic Heater

Hints & Tips

• 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.
• 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.
• Avoid placing items too close to the heater (both at the front and back) for optimal air flow.

WARNING

Never cover the heater or dry clothes over the heater.

Care, Cleaning & Storage

• Always switch off the heater at the power outlet and unplug prior to cleaning the filter, housing, base and grilles.
• To clean the external housing of the ceramic heater, wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner.
  • To clean the grilles and remove dust that may have accumulated, use a soft, damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner using the brush attachment.
• If the heater has collected dust or dirt inside the unit or around any elements, have the unit cleaned by a qualified service agent. Do not operate the heater in this condition.

Cleaning the Filter

• Your Kambrook Ceramic Tower Heater (KCE480) comes with a mesh dust 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 efficient heating performance.
  • Always switch the heater off at the power outlet, then disconnect from the power outlet prior to removing the filter for cleaning.
• To remove the dust filter, ensure the heater is in the upright position. Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove the screw located near the top of the filter. Keep the screw in a safe place until ready to reassemble.
• Press downwards on the tab located at the top of the filter panel (Fig.3) then pull the filter bracket away from the heater.

1. Shake the dust filter into a rubbish receptacle until all fine dust particles and debris are removed.
2. If required, wipe over with a soft, dry cloth to remove stubborn particles or use the brush attachment on a vacuum to remove dust and debris.
3. Re-attach the dust filter to the heater by aligning the grooves located on the bottom of the unit with the tabs on the filter, then push the dust filter in until you hear a "click".
