Care and Maintenance
• Ensure that the heater is switched
OFF and disconnected from the
power outlet before cleaning.
• Use a clean, dry cloth to clean
the external surfaces of the
heater. If the heater has collected
dust or dirt inside the unit or
around the elements, have the
unit cleaned by a qualified
service agent. Do not operate
the heater in this condition.
• Do not attempt to open the
case of the heater at any
time 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.
Cleaning the Filter
• Your Kambrook Ceramic Tower
Heater comes with a mesh 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 heating efficient
performance.
• Always switch the heater to OFF,
then switch off at the power
outlet prior to removing the filter
for cleaning.
• To access the filter, ensure the
heater is in the upright position
and then remove the filter cover
using a screwdriver to unscrew
the screw fitted at the top centre
of the filter cover. Once screw
is removed, remove the filter
cover by pulling down on the two
release levers at the top of the
cover and then carefully pull out
the cover until it is completely free
of the heater.
• It is then necessary to separate the
mesh from the filter cover. Once
separated, shake both the filter
cover and the mesh filter into a
rubbish receptacle until all fine dust
particles and debris are removed.
Wipe over with a soft, dry cloth if
required to remove particles.
• To replace, reinsert the mesh filter
to the filter cover, align the two
tabs at the back of the filter cover
with the two holes at the back of
the heater and then press down on
the cover until it “clicks”. Reinsert
the screw, ensuring it is secure.
Hints & Tips to Retain Heat
in Your Home
• 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.
• Choose the right size heater for
the room type you want to heat.
• 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.
• Keep the heat in and the cold
out by installing wall and
ceiling insulation.
• Avoid placing items too close to
the heater (both at the front and
back) for optimal air flow.
