A few minutes planning can make a big difference to the installation time and to your
satisfaction with the function of the appliance.
1) This product is IPX2. It should not be installed directly above a shower or a bath where
is could come into contact with water.
2) For the exhaust fan to work efficiently, replacement air of a volume equivalent to
what is being extracted must be able to enter the room. In general, this air would be
drawn under the door, or through a slightly open window. If the room is airtight, the
fan will function poorly.
3) This appliance is designed for installation in flat ceilings ONLY. Do not mount it on a
sloping ceiling or a vertical wall.
4) Before commencing any cutting, check that there are no obstructions such
as ceiling joists and that there is sufficient height clearance for the housing and
routing of the duct. Check that the electrical wiring can be routed from the wall
switches to the mounting location.
5) This product has been designed for use on ceilings between 2.4 and 2.7m in height
and must be installed with the lowest point at least 2.1m above the floor. The InfraRed
lamps are not designed to heat the entire room area, they provide instant heat to
persons standing directly below them. Install above the area where‘drying off’ usually
occurs.
1) Locate in accordance with the requirements of the wiring rules relating to damp
situations. National and local council regulations concerning the discharge of air
must also be fulfilled.
2) Disassemble the unit before installation. Unscrew the heat lamps, and unfasten the
fascia-retaining springs inside the housing. Unplug the LED at the connector and
remove the fascia.
3) Choose a suitable mounting location in the ceiling. Mark the ceiling with a
CAUTION: Ensure that the intended hole will have suitable room to locate the unit and that
it will not interfere with joists or the ceiling structure. Joists, beams and rafters shall not
be cut or notched to install the appliance.
5) Insert the unit into the hole, ensuring that the side springs are pulled inwards so
that the unit can pass through the hole, without damaging the plaster. Secure
the unit to the ceiling using the supplied screws.
6) Plug in the downlight, reattach the springs to hold the fascia in place, and screw
in the heat lamps.
7) For installation where external venting is required, locate a suitable location to
vent out the exhausted air and cut out the hole. Put one end of a Ø125mm
flexible duct into the vent hole and seal space around the hole using a suitable
sealant and cowling where necessary. Keep the ducting as straight as possible
to maximise the performance of the fan.
8) Wire the unit as shown in the figure below, ensuring compliance with AS/NZS
wiring rules. Fixed wiring insulation must be protected (e.g. by insulating sleeve)
