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 and that 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.
POSITIONING:
The Herschel Krystal is an infrared panel heater. It heats by transferring energy directly from the heater into
the room and its contents. Only install the heater on the ceiling (using one of the mounting options described
below) or on a wall above 2.1m and angled downwards.
You are likely to be able to feel the warmth from the heater up to around 3m away but it will continue to
radiate heat out beyond this. The closer you are to the heater, the greater the intensity of the heat you will
feel.
The infrared heat will disperse in the same way as light from an LED panel light. If you are installing multiple
panels in one room, try to imagine each panel being a light and consider how light would "illuminate" the
room – your heaters will heat the room in a similar way.
The Krystal reaches high temperatures and it should never be possible to touch it in normal operation. Never
place the heater below 2.1m (83") from the ground and do not obstruct it with furniture, curtains or other
fittings.
For ceiling mounting, the recommended minimum ceiling height is 2.4m due to the intensity of the heat.
Objects intended to be permanently positioned in front of a panel must be at least 1m (39") away from the
front of the heater in normal operation to avoid heat build-up.
Objects (and corners of rooms) should be a minimum of 0.3m (12") away from the sides of the heater. This
distance must also be respected if it is intended to recess the heater into the wall or ceiling. Failure to ensure
adequate spacing to the sides will cause excess heat to build up behind the heater and will void the warranty.
The distance between the sides of the heater and the sides of any adjacent heater must be a minimum of
1m (40"). Failure to ensure adequate spacing between heaters could cause excess heat to build up behind
the heaters and will void the warranty.
Ensure the heater cannot be
obstructed by objects or where it
cannot effectively radiate out, such
as at the edge or in the corners of a
room. Large objects placed in front
of the heater will heat up and can
prevent effective heat dispersal into
the room. If you can, avoid placing
the heater opposite windows and
open doorways where the heat
could pass through these and be
less effective.
