Care and Cleaning
To set the time you want the heater
to turn on, push the red pins outwards
and to set the time that you want
the heater to switch off, push the
pins inwards. Each pin represents a
15 minute period. For example, if you
want the heater to operate for 60
minutes at 7pm before switching off
again at 8pm, 4 pins will need to be
pushed outwards in a row between 19
and 20.
Ensure that the heater is switched off
and disconnected from the power
point before cleaning.
Use a clean, dry cloth to clean the
external surfaces of the heater.
Do not attempt to open up any
parts of the heater 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.
Setting The Thermostat
Control
Your Kambrook oil heater is fitted
with a variable thermostat which is
designed to assist you in setting a
comfortable room temperature.
Turn the thermostat control knob
clockwise to the MAX position.This will
ensure that the room heats up as fast
as possible.
When the room reaches a
comfortable temperature, turn the
thermostat control knob slowly in an
anti-clockwise direction (towards
the MIN position), until a click sound
is heard.The oil heater will now
continue to cycle on and off, to
maintain this room temperature.
NOTE: The programmed timer
can be over ridden at any time
by switching the timer back to
the ‘I’ (ON, manual) mode.
NOTE: For the heater to operate
in ‘Timer’ mode, both the timer
needs to be set to the ‘ ’ setting,
and pins need to have been
moved to the outward position.
Setting the Programmable
Timer (KOH111 and KOH111B
models only)
The KOH111/B is fitted with a 24 hour
programmable timer, which enables
the heater to be set to switch ON
and OFF automatically, once a heat
setting mode has been selected.
ThermoGuard Overheating
Safety Device
The timer will only work when power is
supplied to the unit.
The timer has two settings:
• I – ON, the heater can be used
manually;
Your heater is fitted with a safety
device that switches off the heater
in the event of overheating. Should
this heater stop working, turn off the
heater and inspect the air inlet and
outlet for blockages.Wait for the
heater to cool for the protection
system to reset before attempting to
restart the heater.
•
– Timer Operation, the heater
can be used in the timer mode and
will only operate if some of the pins
have been engaged.
To activate the timer operation, select
the setting on the timer.
Set the current time (using a 24 hour
clock) on the timer, by rotating the
dial clockwise until the correct time of
day is located opposite the arrow.
