Fitting Instructions

Thank you for purchasing Mistral bathroom heater. This product combines heat globes an exhaust fan and light, to provide gentle radiant heat, clean air and a bright light from one compact, stylish unit. This model allows for exhausting of steam and odours right out of your home. All functions are separately controlled from a supplied switch plate for convenient fingertip control.

You can be assured trouble free operation by getting your Mistral Bathroom heater carefully installed by a qualified electrician, according to the instructions. Please read all instructions before commencing installation.

Mistral Bathroom heater can be mounted in any room that requires instant, direct, and radiant heat to ward off winter chills. The light has separate switching, making it suitable for bathrooms, ensuites, toilets, dressing & change rooms.

Suitability

The Mistral Bathroom Heater has been designed especially for cavity type ceilings. Flat roof installation is NOT recommended.

This product must not be mounted in areas subject to direct splashing, and must be mounted in the horizontal position only. Unsuitable for 'cathedral' or 'raked' ceilings.

This model comes with 4 Infrared Heat Globes which emit harmless radiant heat. It is best positioned directly above the area requiring warmth. Before you start, make sure your ceiling has at least 280mm clearance from the roof (see to the 'Mounting' diagram).

Where to Locate

Radiant globe heaters are not designed to heat entire rooms. They provide instant, concentrated heat to persons standing directly below the heat lamps. Therefore, Mistral Bathroom heater should be located over the area where drying off takes place, not directly over a shower or bath.

This Heater is not designed to be left on for extended periods of time, as this could cause overheating and premature failure. Mistral Bathroom Heater, should not be covered or installed in situations which restrict the natural ventilation of the units for cooling purposes.

Ceiling insulation should be kept well clear of the units (at least 100mm). For optimum performance, models with exhaust fans should be installed in areas with good ventilation, to enable fresh air to flow into the room. Any restrictions on return air entering the room will impair effectiveness and may contribute to premature failure.

Radiant Heat

The Mistral Bathroom Heater requires no warm up period because of its efficient, radiant heat globes. Heat is directed at you for an instant warmth you can feel, rather than gradually warming the entire room. Because of this, Mistral Bathroom Heater only needs to be turned ON when you are in the room.

General Illumination

A 6 watt light is designed to provide general illumination only. Additional lighting may be required for duties.

Mounting

For the purpose of obtaining best heating effect, from the lamps there should be about 2.4m overall height from ground.

1. Mark the ceiling with a pencil outline 320mm x 320 mm. BE SURE TO CHECK ABOVE THE CEILING FOR MINIMUM SPACE OF 280mm (for optimum performance allow 500mm or more clearance) AND THE LOCATION OF CEILING JOISTS. Ensure there is a minimum of 100mm clear space between the Mistral Bathroom Heater unit and any ceiling insulation. Make sure distance between edges to the wall is not less than 40mm.

Note: Before commencing cutting ensure that the area behind the intended location is clear of all cables, pipes and joists.

1. Use a saw to cut the section along the drawn lines.

2. Carefully remove the heater and accessories from the plastic bag and carton. Please assemble the air outlet before mounting the unit into the hole.

Connect the ducting if required to the outer grille of the unit. Insert the unit into the square hole being sure to pull the side clips inward so that the body can pass through the hole without damaging the plaster Rotate the swing clips to hold motor body in place (figure 1) then tighten screw to let the clip clamp onto the ceiling board (figure 2).

1. Hold the fascia against the body of the heater and the ceiling and attach the securing spring clips to hold the fascia in place.

2. Now screw the four large heat lamps into the lamp holder through the holes provided in the fascia. The globes should be screwed up firmly to ensure a good electrical contact but don't over tighten. Next fit the small centre globe in the same way ensuring that it is positioned centrally.
