Select XLS
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to observe these instructions will invalidate the warranty.
Do not disassemble. No user-serviceable parts inside.
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.
The Select XLS is equipped with SMART-R (located on the rear of the panel), which must be paired to a
Herschel XLS controller (sold separately) to control the room temperature. If you do not use a Herschel XLS
controller or similar room temperature controller,
DO NOT
use for room heating when rooms are occupied
by people incapable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided. Herschel is
not responsible for any breach of EcoDesign (Lot 20) or Safety legislation where the heaters are used in an
enclosed space without use of a Herschel XLS or similar controller.
The Select XLS has internal safety thermal cut out sensors. However, in order to avoid overheating and
potential fire hazard,
DO NOT
cover the heater under any circumstances.
DO NOT
locate the heater
within 0.3m of any flammable materials (eg. Furniture, curtains).
DO NOT
touch the heater when in use. Herschel panel heaters have a surface temperature of around 95°C
/ 248°F (depending upon input voltage) and prolonged contact with the heater will cause burns and injury.
DO NOT
operate the heater if the cord or plug is damaged or after the heater malfunctions, or if it has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Check each heater for damage before installation. Make sure that the
heater itself, the plug (if applicable) and the cable are free of any visible signs of damage. If the cord is
damaged the appliance must be sent for repair to an authorised Herschel Dealer.
This heater must only be used for the heating of people or buildings. The heater is not to be used by children
or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge.
Children should be kept away and should not be left unsupervised around the unit.
DO NOT
use outdoors.
All operators should only switch on/off the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its
intended operating position in accordance with these instructions. Children must not plug in, switch on or
regulate the appliance or perform user maintenance including cleaning.
Herschel panels are designed for use with an AC voltage between 220-240 volts, 50 Hz AC. If your supply
voltage exceeds 240 Volts do not use the heater and refer to your local dealer. Failure to adhere to this will
void the warranty.
The heater must be mounted on a non-flammable surface.
WATER INGRESS PROTECTION IP44
Herschel Select XLS heater panels are rated to a standard (minimum IP44) enabling them to be located
within zone 2 in a bathroom. This means they can be placed above a sink or outside any splash zones, or they
can be installed on the ceiling. They cannot be installed in zones 0 or 1.
However, 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 and that 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.
