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. 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’). 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. Any connections and switches
intended for use outdoors must have water ingress protection ratings as good as, or better, than the
protection rating of the heater (IP64).

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) & must have adequate clearance from the heater
to prevent scorching or damaging the cable.
The Kanthal element used in the SUMMIT produces an inrush current when first switched on. If 4 or more
Non-Remote-Control units are intended for installation on the same circuit, a soft start device must be used
to protect the heaters. Please refer to your electrician or Herschel for further information and to obtain
recommended soft start units. Failure to do so will damage the heaters and invalidate the warranty.
MOUNTING POSITION :
The Far Infrared heat of SUMMIT is characterised by a consistent, comfortable heat distribution over the
heated area.
The recommended installation height of the SUMMIT is 2.1m to 2.7m (83”-106”) from the floor according
to the expected use. Under no circumstances is the unit to be installed at less than 1.8m (71”) from the floor.
