SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WATER INGRESS PROTECTION:
Herschel Inspire Comfort panels are rated IP44 (Splashproof) to enable location within splashable zones in a
bathroom (zones 1 or 2 or above).
In all cases, installation in potentially wet or humid rooms such as bathrooms must be carried out by a suitably
qualified installer and comply with local electrical safety requirements. Installation must be such that:
•
the heater must not be able to become detached from the fittings and fall into a bathtub, shower,
swimming pool or other water container;
•
Switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.
If in doubt, do not install.
Herschel Infrared Ltd shall not be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused or
resulting from inadequate fitting or incorrect placement of heaters close to water sources.
POSITIONING:
This is an infrared panel heater. It heats objects by transferring energy directly from the heater into the object.
Therefore, consider placing the heater where it will not be immediately obstructed by objects like furniture or
where it cannot effectively radiate out, such as at the edge or in the corners of a room. Objects placed in front
of the heater will heat up and can prevent effective heat dispersion into the room. Avoid placing it opposite
windows or open doorways.
The minimum distance from the back side of the panel must be 25 mm (1
“
) to the mounting surface. This will
always be the case if the mounting hardware provided is used.
Objects in front of the panel must be at least 400mm
(16”)
away and 200 mm
(8”)
away from the sides. The
distance from the sides of the heater must also be respected if it is intended to recess the heater into the wall
or ceiling. Failure to do so will cause excess heat to build up behind the heater and will void the warranty.
When ceiling mounted, the distance between the sides of the heater and the sides of any adjacent heater must
be a minimum of 800mm
(32”)
. Failure to do so could cause excess heat to build up behind the heaters and will
void the warranty.
INSTALLATION:
WARNING:
Installation should only be carried out by trained and approved engineers or competent persons.
The Inspire Comfort panel comes with an electrical plug appropriate for the rated voltage of the heater. The
plug will only fit in a mains socket of the correct voltage.
NEVER
attempt to connect the heater to a different
mains voltage than that indicated on the heater label.
Temperature control can be effected by using a Thermostat. See your Herschel dealer for details.
If the heating panel is being hard wired (so the plug is removed), the electrical installation should only be carried
out by suitably qualified personnel. Wiring to the heater must be connected in accordance with the relevant
national electrical safety standards. It is a Class 1 appliance and must be earthed. The electrical supply to the
unit should be provided by connecting to a circuit protected by a fuse or residual current device (RCD) or Ground
Fault circuit interrupter (GFCI ) suitable for the electrical rating of the appliance. Colour coding used in the
supplied mains cable: BLACK
wire is to be connected to LIVE (‘L’), the
WHITE
wire to NEUTRAL (‘N’) and the
GREEN or
GREEN/YELLOW wire to EARTH (‘E’).
When placed in public areas, installation must comply with relevant local electrical standards. For certain public
buildings like schools and care homes the heaters must be installed according to the specific legislation for these
types of buildings.
