This document describes the Mistral Heatstar 2000 Watt Convection Heater, a heating appliance designed for efficient and safe indoor use.
The Mistral Heatstar Convection Heater operates on the principle of convective heat, which means it warms rooms by circulating warm air. It combines an electric heating element with a powerful fan to provide fast and efficient heating. The heater is designed to be cost-effective when used in closed, insulated rooms with average-height ceilings, allowing for continuous reheating of the air.
The heater features multiple heat settings, allowing users to select their preferred level of heating power. There are three main settings: an economic setting for 750W, a standard setting for 1250W, and a maximum setting for 2000W. These settings can be selected individually or in combination.
A thermostat control is integrated into the device, enabling the user to set a desired room temperature. Once set, the heater will automatically switch on and off at intervals to maintain that temperature. This feature ensures consistent comfort and energy efficiency.
For added safety, the heater includes an automatic cut-off switch that activates if the unit overheats, for example, if it is placed too close to a wall or another object. Additionally, an antifreeze safety level is incorporated into the thermostat control. This feature prevents the room temperature from dropping below approximately +5°C, making it suitable for use in rooms that may be unoccupied for extended periods.
The Mistral Heatstar Convection Heater is designed for ease of use and can be operated in two main configurations: floor standing or wall mounted.
Floor Standing: To use the heater as a floor-standing unit, the provided stands must be attached. This involves laying the heater carefully on its side, sliding each stand into the designated special holders, and then securing them in place with screws. The heater is designed to be stable in this configuration.
Wall Mounting: For wall mounting, specific instructions must be followed to ensure safe and optimal positioning. The appliance must be plugged into an earthed power outlet. It should not be located immediately below or in front of a fixed socket outlet. The manual provides diagrams illustrating the minimum distances required from walls and the floor for proper air circulation and safety. Metal spacer brackets are used to fix the heater to the wall. These brackets are attached to the heater using screws, and then the heater is presented to the wall bracket, engaged, and pushed down to secure it. Depending on the wall construction, wall plugs may be required for installation.
Operating the Heater: Once the heater is in its desired location and plugged into a power point, the power cord should be fully uncoiled from the cord tidy before use. The heater is turned on by selecting one of the heat settings using the control knob. The heat settings are clearly marked as '-', '=', or both for 750W, 1250W, and 2000W respectively.
After selecting the heat setting, the thermostat knob is used to set the desired room temperature. To find the ideal setting, it is recommended to first set the dial to the maximum position. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, the thermostat should be slowly turned towards the minimum position until the heater switches off. This sets the heater to maintain the desired comfort level. The thermostat can be adjusted during use as needed.
The heater is equipped with a clear control cover to protect the controls. It also features a hand grip for easier handling and moving when it is cool.
Safety Precautions: Several important safety precautions are outlined to prevent fire, electric shock, and injury. The heater should not be positioned immediately below a socket outlet. It becomes hot during use, so bare skin should not touch hot surfaces. It must be allowed to cool before moving. Combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains must be kept at least 30cm away from the sides of the heater. Laundry or any other items should not be draped over the heater.
The appliance is not intended for unsupervised use by young children or infirm persons, and young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. The heater must always be unplugged when not in use. It should not be operated with a damaged cord or plug, or if it has malfunctioned, been dropped, or damaged in any manner. In such cases, it should be returned to an authorized service facility.
The heater is designed for indoor use only and should not be used outdoors. It is not suitable for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, or similar moist indoor locations, and should never be placed where it could fall into a bathtub or other water container. Specifically, it should not be used in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower, or swimming pool.
The power cord should not be run under carpeting or covered with throw rugs or similar items. It must be arranged away from traffic areas to prevent tripping hazards and should not be placed over any part of the heater. The heater should not be plugged into an extension lead, double adapter, or power board.
To disconnect the heater, controls should be set to OFF before removing the plug from the outlet. Air intakes or exhausts must not be blocked to prevent fire. Foreign objects should not be inserted into any ventilation or exhaust opening, as this could cause electric shock, fire, or damage. The heater contains hot electrical parts and should not be used in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored. The heater should only be used as described in the manual; any other use may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. The power cord must be fully removed from the cord tidy and uncoiled before applying power. The product must always be used and stored in the upright position. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazards.
Maintaining the Mistral Heatstar Convection Heater is straightforward and focuses on ensuring its longevity and safe operation.
Cleaning: Before cleaning, it is crucial to turn off the power at the outlet and remove the plug. The unit must be allowed to cool completely before any cleaning is attempted. To protect against electric shock, no part of the appliance should be immersed in water or any other liquid.
The exterior of the heater can be cleaned by wiping it with a dry or slightly moist cloth. For stubborn spots, a cloth moistened with mild detergent can be used. It is important not to put detergents or cleaning agents inside the heater itself.
Regular cleaning helps maintain the heater's appearance and ensures that air vents remain unobstructed, contributing to efficient and safe operation.
