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
ngertip control.
You can be assured trouble free operation by
getting your Mistral Bathroom heater carefully
installed by a qualied 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 2 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 ow 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 efcient, 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
370mm x 202 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.

lines.

from the plastic bag and carton. Please
assemble the air outlet before mounting the
unit into the hole. Air outlet assemble steps as

required for the outlet louvre (see template
below). Use 4 screws appropriate for the
mounting surface to secure it in place.
NOTE: The vent louvres should be
facing downwards, preventing water
from running into the duct.

OUTLET LOUVER TEMPLATE
2. Duct Connection: Fully extend 3m duct to
minimise airow restrictions then cut to t
components. To cut duct use a sharp knife
for the silver walls and wire cutters for the
wire support coil. Plan the duct-run to be as
straight as possible. The fewer obstacles that
the duct has to weave around, the better! Do
not squash or force duct through tight bends.
