Using Your Kambrook Heater

Before First Use

Remove your heater from its carton
and associated protective wrapping.

Unwind the cord to its full length and
remove any protective cardboard or
foam that may have been used to
minimise transportation damage.

surface in a stable upright position.

Visually inspect the air inlet and
outlets to ensure no foreign material is
blocking these areas.

Turning Your Heater On

Plug the cord into a 230V or 240V
electrical outlet. Be sure the plug
fits tightly as a loose fit will cause
overheating and damage the plug.

NOTE: To avoid an electrical
circuit overload, it is
recommended that no other
appliances are plugged into the
same circuit with your heater
when you switch the unit on.

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.

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.
