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. The SUMMIT is not equipped with a device to control the room temperature. If intended for use in an enclosed space for the
purposes of room heating, use of Herschel iQ controls is compulsory. 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 and Safety legislation where SUMMIT is used in an enclosed space without use of a Herschel iQ
controller.
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 SUMMIT 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.
5. DO NOT use the heater if the power cord is damaged. This 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 SUMMIT 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.
WATER INGRESS PROTECTION:
Herschel SUMMIT 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 SUMMIT 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).

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:
Diagram 1. SUMMIT heated area and applications
The Far Infrared heat of SUMMIT is
characterised by a consistent,
comfortable heat distribution over the
heated area.
The zone heated by the SUMMIT will
increase in size the higher the heater is
installed from the floor, but the warmth
experienced from the heater will be
lower.
The mounting height and intensity
should reflect the intended use of the
heater.
Mount the heater at a lower height in
areas intended for low physical activity
(for example a seating area) or areas
subject to airflow (outside or near open
doors).
Mount higher where less intense
warmth is needed (for example
warehouses where workers are active
and wear warm clothing).
The Herschel SUMMIT 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 SUMMIT is 2.1m to 2.7m (83”-106”) from the floor according to the expected
application (see diagram 1). Under no circumstances is the unit to be installed at less than 1.8m (71”) 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 adjusted accordingly. For
outdoor use, or other 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 and proportionally increasing the number of heaters. Power can
also be adjusted with the 2600R model.
Wall/ceiling mount swivel brackets and accessories are provided with the heater which has been specifically designed to allow
this product to be fitted to a wall or ceiling with adequate clearances (110mm or 4.3”) at the back of the unit. The sides and ends
of the heater must be positioned at least 300mm (12”) away from the nearest wall or other structure except when multiple heaters
are being ceiling recessed (see CAUTION below).
For longer distances from the ceiling, an optional chain mounting kit is available from Herschel. Chain length is 320mm.

INSTALLATION:
Diagram 2: Swivel Bracket Assembly
Diagram 3: Mounting options and minimum distances to objects.
CAUTION:
•Ensure mains power is OFF before commencing installation.
•The supplied mains cable must not contact the top surface of the heater during operation.
•Heater must not be located immediately below a socket outlet. Electrical connections must be made outside of the footprint
of the unit to avoid heat build-up. If the heater is to be mounted on an incline (e.g. sloping roof), ensure the electrical
connection is located below the lowest end of the heater.
•Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the appliance.
•This heater is not intended for ceiling-recessed installation.
•The identification mark and model reference should be visible after installation.
•The SUMMIT must not be attached facing or close to any combustible material (eg, wood or PVC cladding, fascia or soffit) or
other materials that could blow onto the heater.
•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.
OPERATION BY REMOTE CONTROLLER:
The Herschel SUMMIT 2600R is operated from the remote control supplied with the heater. The SUMMIT 2600 has no remote
control.
Insert 2 x AAA Alkaline batteries into the remote control.

1. POWER BUTTON: Turns heater on or off.
2. UP BUTTON: Increases the temperature and timer level.
3. DOWN BUTTON: Decreases temperature and timer level.
4. LEVEL BUTTON: Use to adjust heat levels (L1-L2). Press the Level button then use the
up and down buttons (2 and 3) to increase or decrease the heating level.
5. TIMER BUTTON: Use to set the timer from T0 – T9 (o-9 hours). Adjust using buttons 2
& 3 to the number of hours you would like to set.
All Herschel remote controls have the same frequency, so it is possible to control several
heaters with just one remote.
INITIAL USE:
Before first use, ensure the emissive (front) surface is free of fingerprints and other contamination before turning on heater for
the first time. 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.
USER MAINTENANCE:
The heater may be wiped-down with a clean damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents to clean the unit. In marine environments,
the unit may be gently sprayed clean with clean water with the POWER TURNED OFF and completely cool. After cleaning, it is
advisable to warm the heater for 10 –20 minutes to dry the unit and prevent staining.
COMPLIANCE WITH ECODESIGN DIRECTIVE 2009/125/EC:
If SUMMIT is to be used indoors in an enclosed space to reach and maintain a defined temperature level, the Herschel SUMMIT
2600 is compliant if used with the appropriate Hershel iQ controller.
The SUMMIT 2600R is best-in-class if used with the appropriate HerscheliQ controller in conjunction with the remote control and
timer function.
The legislation does not apply to SUMMIT 2600 or 2600R intended for use outdoors or for heating indoors in an unenclosed space
where this prevents application of EcoDesign regulations.
Herschel is not responsible for any breach of the legislation where the SUMMIT 2600 or 2600R are used without the appropriate
iQ controller.
