ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:
The FLORIDA is supplied with a plug enabling it to be positioned where you require. Any fixed wiring installation must only be
carried out by competent persons or a qualified electrician according to national regulations and the electrical supply should be
protected by connecting to a current protection device suitable for the electrical rating of the unit in accordance with Table 1 and
providing disconnection in both poles. All fixed wiring must have sufficient capacity to carry the current required by the heater.
The unit must be earthed.
Any extension lead used must have sufficient capacity to carry the current required by the heater. All plugs, sockets and switches
intended for use outdoors must have an appropriate water ingress protection. Always disconnect the heater from the power when
not in use.

POSITIONING:
The Herschel FLORIDA is a middlewave infrared heater suitable for use in cold indoor or semi-sheltered outdoor areas. When used
outdoors or other areas with air movement/wind, the directional Infrared spread may reduce by 1/3 to 1/2 from published figures.
The sides and ends of the heater must always be at least 300mm (12
”) away from the nearest wall, ceiling or other structure.
The
unit has a tip over protection which will turn the heater off if tilted beyond a 45 degree angle. If possible, bolt the base to the
floor to avoid the risk of the heater being accidentally knocked over.
CAUTION:
•
Ensure mains power is OFF and the unit is cool before handling.
•
Heater must not be located immediately above or below a socket outlet. Electrical connections must be made outside of the
footprint of the unit to avoid heat build-up in the connection.
•
The identification mark and model reference should be visible after installation.
•
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.
•
Ensure that wires are properly secured and cannot be pulled by small children.
