WATER INGRESS PROTECTION:
Herschel CALIFORNIA is rated to a standard IP65 enabling it to be mounted outdoors and exposed to occasional rainfall. To prolong
the life of the heater we recommend installing it where it will be sheltered from the effects of weather. Herschel CALIFORNIA is
not intended for installation in locations that are permanently wet or humid.
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 a 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.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:
Installation must only be carried out by competent persons or a qualified electrician according to national regulations. Wiring
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 and in accordance with Table 1. An electrical plug may be added by the installer so long as both the plug and
electrical supply circuit to be plugged into are appropriately rated according to the requirements of the heater in Table 1 and in
accordance with local regulation. Any plug, sockets and switches intended for use outdoors must have water ingress protection
ratings as good as, or better, than the protection rating of the heater (IP65).
