Ceramicx HERSCHEL ASPECT XL2 User manual

ORIGINAL INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Herschel Aspect XL consists of 2 or 3 highly emissive ceramic heating elements mounted in a directional, reective unit. It is designed
to gently warm people using infrared heat. Infrared Heat is a 100% natural radiating heat that humans readily absorb, producing a feeling
of great comfort and well-being. Infrared Heat produced from the Herschel IR warms you directly without heating the air in between :
meaning the heat goes where you want it.
The system is easy to install; extremely discreet, produces no red light and requires next to no maintenance.
CAUTION:
The Herschel Aspect XL rises to very high temperatures in use and the unit (in particular the ceramic surfaces) must not be touched when
power is applied. Do not touch the unit when this is on. After switch o the elements remain hot for a considerable time and the unit should
not be touched within 30 minutes minimum after heater has been switched o.
Please attach the supplied notice (CAUTION DO NOT TOUCH HEATER) to the wall near the heater or in a location where it can easily be seen.
Never use the heater to ignite materials.
Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present. The Aspect XL is not to be used by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given instruction or are
under supervision. Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the appliance.
Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/o the appliance provided that it has been placed or installed in its
intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or
perform user maintenance.
To avoid a re hazard, do not cover the heater in any manner and ensure there is adequate air circulation around the heater. The Appliance

WARNING:
This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by
persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please read the following information fully, as safe and reliable operation depends on correct installation. Please keep this instruction sheet
for future reference.
The AC mains supply is dangerous and potentially lethal. Ensure the mains supply is switched o at the consumer unit (fuse box) before
attempting any work on electrical circuits. Wiring to this unit must be connected in accordance with the relevant national electrical safety
standards. This unit must only be installed by a competent and qualied electrician. This appliance must be earthed.
Do not disassemble : no user-serviceable parts inside.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:
The electrical supply to the unit should be provided by connecting to a circuit, which is protected by a fuse or miniature circuit breaker suitable
for the electrical rating of the unit and in accordance with Table 1 or Table 2. The supply to the heater must be switched separately using a
switch appropriately rated for the load and supply voltage. A switched fused spur may also be used on existing ring main circuits where the

load current is less than 13A. In both cases, the switch must be double pole (disconnecting both live and neutral conductors) and form part
of the xed wiring in the installation in accordance with applicable wiring regulations. The spur fuse should also be rated in accordance with
the appropriate table. In either case the switch used to operate the Herschel Aspect XL must be indoors and readily accessible.
The cable used to connect to the existing wiring should be correctly rated solid core wiring cable. Please note that the use of exible appliance
cable with stranded conductors for permanent wiring (except for the nal connection between a cable outlet and the xed equipment) is
prohibited by IEE wiring regulations. Where applicable, these regulations preclude the use of a 13A plug and socket for powering the Herschel
Aspect XL. For the nal connection to the Herschel Aspect XL, only the exible cable and cable entry supplied with the unit must be used. The
cable must connect to the supply in a suitable enclosure or cable outlet designed for that purpose. The cable outlet current carrying capacity
must be greater than the recommended fuse current rating given in Table 1 or Table 2.
If the exible cable is taken through a wall for connection purposes, suitable conduit or mechanical protection must be used through the wall
to protect the cable from mechanical damage within the wall. The mounting position of the unit must ensure that any mechanical damage
to the exible cable is unlikely. If physical damage to the cable is possible, suitable conduit protection must be provided. Fixed wiring must
be protected.
MOUNTING POSITION:
The Herschel Aspect XL must be located in a position to allow for proper and ecient use but one that ensures hot parts are not touched
accidentally. The recommended height for the mounting is 2.3m to 2.5m (90”-98”) from ground level, The Herschel Aspect XL should be rmly
and permanently attached to the wall using the bracket supplied, with the heaters angled down at 60 degrees from vertical (see diagram
1). The bracket allows the heater to be mounted between 50° and 70° from vertical and should not be mounted outside these parameters.
The Herschel Aspect XL is designed to be mounted horizontally on a wall. DO NOT MOUNT VERTICALLY, The heater is not designed for ceiling
mounting.

The Herschel Aspect XL MUST NOT be installed at a height of less than 2.3m (90”). Heater must not be located immediately below a socket
outlet. Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the appliance.
The distance between the sides of the heater and the sides and any adjacent ceiling recessed heater shall not be less than four times the
minimum distance specied for the distance between the sides of the heater and any building element adjacent to it.
Consideration should be given to any temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms, and the height should be adjusted
accordingly.
The identication mark and model reference should be visible after installation.
EXTERIOR USE:
The unit is protected against water ingress (protection level IPX4), however it is recommended that the unit is installed in a covered outdoor
area to give maximum protection and longevity against the eects of driving rain, wind, frost, salt water contamination, etc. The canopy/
roof/cover must be of a permanent nature, there must be a minimum clearance of 0.3m (12”) between the cover and any part of the Herschel
XL and the cover must extend a minimum of 2m (79”) from the wall. The Herschel XL must not be attached to or installed close to any
combustible material (eg, wood or PVC cladding, fascia or sot).
In areas with air movement/wind the directional Far Infrared spread may reduce by 1/3 to 1/2. In these areas we recommend mounting at
the lowest recommended height ( see diagram 1 ) and proportionally increasing the number of heaters.
GUARANTEE:
The Herschel Aspect XL is guaranteed against failure due to faulty materials or workmanship for ve years from date of purchase. In the
unlikely event of failure of the unit within this time, the unit must be returned to the supplier for repair or replacement. The guarantee is
invalid if the correct installation instructions as given in this leaet have not been adhered to.
USER MAINTENANCE:
The Herschel Aspect XL is maintenance free but to maintain appearance it should occasionally be cleaned all over with a soft dry cloth. No
abrasive cloths or cleaners should be used and appliances such as pressure washers, steam cleaners, etc, should never be used. Cleaning
should only be done when the unit is cold and switched o. All personnel cleaning and maintaining the unit must have suitable training and
information to carry out the operation safely. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
