Source of possible ignition.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:

This appliance must be disconnected from its power source during installation or service activities and when replacing.
This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
In order to avoid overheating and potential fire hazard, DO NOT cover the heater. DO NOT cover the heater with insulating material or a similar material under any circumstances.
CAUTION: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.
CAUTION: DO NOT touch the heater when in use. After the heater has been switched off the elements remain hot for a considerable time and the unit should not be touched within 30 minutes minimum. Please attach the supplied notice CAUTION DO NOT TOUCH HEATER to the wall near the heater or in a location where it can easily be seen. Particular attention must be given where children and vulnerable people are present.
DO NOT use the heater if the Ceramic panels or power cord are damaged. These must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
DO NOT use the heater to ignite materials.
Keep children away from the appliance unless continuously supervised.
Young children shall only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Young children shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
This heater must only be used for the heating of people or buildings. The Aspect XL is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, regardless of whether they have been given instruction or are under supervision.
IMPORTANT: Ensure supply voltage does not exceed 245 volts.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

Wiring to this unit must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety standards and must be earthed. The electrical supply to the unit should be provided by connecting to a circuit protected by a fuse or miniature circuit breaker suitable for the electrical rating of the unit in accordance with Tables 1 or 2.

Aspect XL2

Table 1 Herschel Aspect XL2 Specifications

Supply| Rated Power| Current| Fuse| Hz
230V| 1300 Wafts| 5.4A| 10A| 50/60

Aspect XL3

Table 2 Herschel Aspect XL3 Specifications

Supply| Rated Power| Current| Fuse| Hz
230V| 1950 Watts| 8.1A| 16A| 50/60

The supply to the heater must be switched separately using a switch appropriately rated for the load and supply voltage. A switched fused spur may also be used on existing ring main circuits where the load current is less than 13A. In both cases, the switch must be double pole (disconnecting both live and neutral conductors) and form part of the fixed wiring in the installation in accordance with applicable wiring regulations. The spur fuse should also be rated in accordance with the appropriate table. In either case the switch used to operate the Herschel Aspect XL must be indoors and readily accessible.
The cable used to connect to the existing wiring should be correctly rated solid core wiring cable. Please note that the use of flexible appliance cable with stranded conductors for permanent wiring (except for the final connection between a cable outlet and the fixed equipment) is prohibited by IEE wiring regulations.
Where applicable, these regulations preclude the use of a 13A plug and socket for powering the Herschel Aspect XL. For the final connection to the Herschel Aspect XL, only the flexible cable and cable entry supplied with the unit must be used. The cable must connect to the supply in a suitable enclosure or cable outlet designed for that purpose. The cable outlet current carrying capacity must be greater than the recommended fuse current rating given in Table 1 or Table 2.
If the flexible cable is taken through a wall for connection purposes, suitable conduit or mechanical protection must be used through the wall to protect the cable from mechanical damage within the wall. The mounting position of the unit must ensure that any mechanical damage to the flexible cable is unlikely. Any exposed flexible cable is to hang down (not tied UP) and must have adequate clearance from the heater to prevent scorching or damaging the cable.
Colour coding used in the supplied mains cable: BROWN wire is to be connected to LIVE (‘L’), the BLUE wire to NEUTRAL (‘N’) and the GREEN/YELLOW wire to EARTH (‘E’).

MOUNTING POSITION

The Herschel Aspect XL must be located in a position to allow proper and efficient use but one that ensures hot parts are not touched accidentally. The recommended installation height of the Aspect XL is 2.3m to 2.5m (90”-98”) from the floor and under no circumstances is it to be installed at less than 1.8m from the floor. In all cases it should be installed at a height where it cannot be touched in operation. Consideration should be given to any temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms, and the height should be adjusted accordingly. The Herschel Aspect XL should be firmly and permanently attached to the wall using the bracket supplied, with the heaters angled down at 60° from vertical (see diagram 1). The bracket allows the heater to be mounted between 50° and 70° from vertical and should not be mounted outside these parameters. The Herschel Aspect XL is designed to be mounted horizontally on a wall. DO NOT MOUNT POINTING VERTICALLY DOWNWARDS. The heater is not designed for ceiling mounting. In areas with air movement/wind the directional Far Infrared spread may reduce by 1/3 to 1/2. In these areas we recommend mounting at the lowest recommended height (see diagram 1) and proportionally increasing the number of heaters.

CAUTION:

Ensure mains power is OFF before commencing installation.
Heater must not be located immediately below a socket outlet.
Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the appliance.
Do not install the Aspect XL into a ceiling recess, nor adjacent to a heater that has been ceiling recessed.
The identification mark and model reference should be visible after installation.
The Herschel XL must not be attached so as to face or be close to any combustible material (eg, wood or PVC cladding, fascia or soffit).
The fixed wiring insulation coming into contact with parts with a temperature rise of greater than 50°C must be protected, for example, by sleeving having an appropriate temperature rating.

Diagram 1.

EXTERIOR USE:

The unit is protected against water ingress (protection level IPX4), however it is recommended that the unit is installed in a covered outdoor area to give maximum protection and longevity against the effects of driving rain, wind, frost, salt water contamination, etc. The canopy/roof/cover must be of a permanent nature, there must be a minimum clearance of 0.3m (12”) between the cover and any part of the Herschel XL and the cover must extend a minimum of 2m (79”) from the wall.

INITIAL USE:
Before first use, ensure protective aluminium grill is free of fingerprints and other contamination before turning on heater for the first time. Handling of the grill can lead to the aluminium to discolour when in use. There may be an odour or vapour from the heater on initial use or if heater has not been used for an extended period. This is normal and is a result of a build up of dust.

USER MAINTENANCE:

The Herschel Aspect XL is maintenance free but to maintain appearance it should occasionally be cleaned all over with a soft dry cloth. No abrasive cloths or cleaners should be used and appliances such as pressure washers, steam cleaners, etc, should never be used. Cleaning should only be done when the unit is cold and switched off. All personnel cleaning and maintaining the unit must have suitable training and information to carry out the operation safely.
