Your new Herschel Heater

Thankyou for purchasing a Herschel Select Portable Infrared Panel Heater. This 500 Watt modern Infrared panel heater Incorporates the very latest in heating technology and control with Herschel’s SMART-R system and slimline frameless design, you will enjoy many years of low energy, smart and comfortable heating.
We’ve tried to make setting up and using your heater as easy as possible. Please read these instructions fully and retain for future reference. If you have any questions our website also has many FAQs or you can call, message or online chat with us, we are always happy to help ensure that you get the most from your new Herschel heating system.

Positioning your Portable Infrared Panel Heater

This is a low energy use infrared panel heater. It is designed to provide a convenient way to top-up your heating where the main room heating is insufficient or not close enough to you.
It is intended as a supplementary heater, not as the main heat source for a room.
Place the heater where it will not be immediately obstructed by objects (like furniture or curtains) or where it cannot effectively radiate out, such as the edge or corners of a room. Large objects placed in front of the heater will heat up and can prevent effective heat dispersion.
The heater must be placed on horizontal, even and unbroken surface.
The feet supplied with the heater must be used and provide the correct distance for the heater from the floor and objects to the rear (like a wall). The heater must be at least 400mm from objects placed in front.

Setup

1. Find the two feet supplied in the package.
2. Fit to the long lower side of the heater. The SMART-R power box at the back of the panel should be at the bottom edge of the heater.
3. Use a screws to tighten the friction screws against the rear surface of the heater. (Note: tightening the screws against the front will damage the front surface of the heater).

The Select Portable Infrared Panel Heater comes with a factory fitted plug and can be plugged into an available socket in the room.
The SMART-R receiver allows your Portable heater to operate in two different ways according to preference:

• It will heat to a fixed temperature you set on the receiver when you switch the heater on at the wall.
• It can connect to wifi and be managed via the SmartLife App.

Controls on the SMART-R receiver are as follows:

sense the temperature around the heater.
4. On / Off button| 9. Power Switch (I = On, O = Off)
5. Manual pairing button| 10. Mains cable.

Operation

Heat to a fixed temperature with the built-in thermostat on the receiver
The heater can be simply operated by switching it on at the wall and setting a fixed temperature on the SMART-R receiver.
ECODESIGN Notice:
When used in this simple operating mode, the Select Portable Infrared Panel Heater should only be used in well insulated spaces for occasional use and should not be left operating permanently switched on.
Operation
Pull the thermostat (8) gently out from the bottom of the SMART-R box until it stops.
Switch the mains socket ON.
Switch the Power Switch (9) on (‘I’ position on rocker switch) and ensure it illuminates RED.
The heater will warm up until it senses the default local temperature of 37°C is reached at which point it will switch off.
You can lower the set temperature using the – button on the side of the SMART-R receiver. You can only raise the temperature (using the + button) to 37 °C.
Heater control using the Smartlife App
The Select Portable Infrared Panel Heater can be more comprehensively controlled using the SmartLife App. This allows you to set a heating schedule including an AWAY (Holiday) mode and enables voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant.

Explanation of operating modes

Smart mode
Your Herschel Select Portable Infrared Panel Heater works most efficiently when it is set up to run against a program controlled by the SmartLife App. This program will always ensure your heater reaches the temperature you want at the time you want it, each day of the week. This is represented by the “Smart” function on the App. So usually you will want to set up and run the heater in Smart mode. To enable Smart mode touch the “Smart” icon on the App main screen and alter the program settings in “Settings”.
Manual mode
Selecting Manual mode allows you to set and maintain a constant temperature that does not vary with the time of day. Once you set a temperature using Manual mode, your Portable Infrared Panel Heater will maintain this temperature until you give it another command. Select Manual mode by touching the “Manual” icon on the App main screen and alter the temperature up or down using the + and – buttons.
Override
You can always override the Programmed or Manual set temperatures to be higher or lower by using the + or – keys on the App main screen to change the temperature. When operating on Smart mode, the heater will maintain the override temperature until the next programmed period (when the next programmed temperature will be set). Under Manual mode, the override temperature will remain set until you change it again manually.
Holiday Mode
There is also a Holiday mode which allows you to save energy by setting a lower temperature while you are away.
The Holiday mode has a day-counter feature allowing you to set the number of days you are away and return the heating to normal operation ahead of your return.
Select Holiday mode by touching the “Holiday” icon on the App main screen. Select Days away using the slider and set your holiday temperature using the + or – buttons. We recommend ending holiday mode at least one day before your return to allow your house to warm back up again.
Settings
“Settings” on the App allow you to change The Smart mode program schedules and temperatures.
Timer
A timer function is available in 24 x 1hour increments. This turns the heater on for the specified number of hours. The heater will only heat to the setpoint temperature.
Device Details
You can alter other details about your Portable Infrared Panel Heater including enabling Alexa or Google Assistant or sharing control of your device with other members of your family by tapping the pencil icon at the top right of the App main screen.
If you begin to use Smartlife to control other Home Automation devices, then you can also integrate your heater control with other home automation tasks that you set up in SmartLife from the Device Details screen.
NOTE:
When restarting the heater after it has been switched off for any length of time, please give the heater time to reconnect with your router before operating via the app. This can sometimes take a few minutes.
