Everning all.

Silly question i am currently looking for a new convector heater for my garage as
old one has given up. well it heats up when turned on cuts out and thats it fuse is fine.

Anyway ive been looking at a new one online and it says i has frost protection
What does this mean i dont intend on sticking it out in the snow!
