Do not disassemble. No user-serviceable parts inside.
Source of possible ignition.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
1. This appliance must be disconnected from its power source during installation or service activities and when
replacing.
2. 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.
3. In order to avoid overheating and potential fire hazard, DO NOT cover the heater. DO NOT cover the
heater with insulating material or a similar material under any circumstances.
4. DO NOT touch the heater when in use. The Herschel Aspect XL rises to very high temperatures in use.
After the heater has been switched off the elements remain hot for a considerable time and the unit should
not be touched within 30 minutes minimum. 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.
5. DO NOT use the heater if the Ceramic panels or power cord are damaged. These must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
6. DO NOT use the heater to ignite materials.
7. This heater must only be used for the heating of people or buildings. 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, regardless of whether they have been given instruction or are under supervision. Children
should be kept away and should not be left unsupervised around the unit.
8. All operators shall only switch on/off 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 shall not plug in, switch on or
regulate the appliance or perform user maintenance including cleaning.
9. IMPORTANT: Ensure supply voltage does not exceed 245 volts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:
Wiring to this unit 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 in accordance with Tables 1 or 2.
Aspect XL2
Aspect XL3

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 fixed 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 flexible appliance cable with stranded conductors for permanent wiring (except for the final
connection between a cable outlet and the fixed 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 final connection to the Herschel Aspect XL, only the flexible 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 flexible 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 flexible cable is unlikely. Any exposed
flexible cable is to hang down (not tied UP) and must have adequate clearance from the heater to prevent
scorching or damaging the cable.
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’).
MOUNTING POSITION:
The Herschel Aspect XL must be located in a position to allow proper and efficient use but one that ensures hot
parts are not touched accidentally. The recommended installation height of the Aspect XL is 2.3m to 2.5m (90”-
98”) from the floor and under no circumstances is it to be installed at less than 1.8m from the floor. In all cases
it should be installed at a height where it cannot be touched in operation. Consideration should be given to any
temporary or occasional additions such as stages or platforms, and the height should be adjusted accordingly.
The Herschel Aspect XL should be firmly and permanently attached to the wall using the bracket supplied, with
the heaters angled down at 60° 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 POINTING VERTICALLY
DOWNWARDS. The heater is not designed for ceiling mounting.
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.
CAUTION:
Ensure mains power is OFF before commencing installation.
Heater must not be located immediately below a socket outlet.
Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the appliance.
Do not install the Aspect XL into a ceiling recess, nor adjacent to a heater that has been ceiling-recessed.
The identification mark and model reference should be visible after installation.
The Herschel XL must not be attached so as to face or be close to any combustible material (eg, wood or
PVC cladding, fascia or soffit).
The fixed wiring insulation coming into contact with parts with a temperature rise of greater than 50°C must
be protected, for example, by sleeving having an appropriate temperature rating.

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 effects 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.
INITIAL USE:
Before first use, ensure protective aluminium grill is free of fingerprints and other contamination before turning
on heater for the first time. Handling of the grill can lead to the aluminium to discolour when in use.
There may be an odour or vapour from the heater on initial use or if heater has not been used for an extended
period. This is normal and is a result of a build up of dust.
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 off. All personnel cleaning and maintaining the unit must have suitable training and information to
carry out the operation safely.
