Your Heatstar Convection
Heater
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Mistral Heatstar Convection Heater. Before first
using your new Mistral Heatstar Convection
Heater, please take a few minutes to read this
booklet and then find a place to keep it handy for
future reference.
Mistral Heatstar Convection Heaters feature the
latest European styling. They combine an electric
element with a powerful fan for fast, efficient
heating.
As their name suggests, these heaters operate
using convective heat which means that they fill
rooms with warm air. Therefore they are cost
effective when used in closed, insulated rooms
with ceilings of average height, so that air can be
continually reheated.
