Safety

Read through these instructions completely before commencing installation.

Do not allow insulation material to rest against the sides or top

of the Tastic unit when installed. This Tastic must not be installed

where there is a possibility of water splashing on to the lamps.

There is no IP rating on any IXL Tastic.

NOTE: This product must be installed by a qualified installer.

The infra-red lamps heat by direct radiation rather than by heating the air in the room, so the Tastic should
be located directly over where drying off occurs.

Locate the Tastic in accordance with the requirements of the current Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules
AS/NZS 3000 relating to damp situations, or according to applicable Wiring Rules for installations outside
of Australia and New Zealand.

In some installations this may mean that no part of the Tastic may be located directly above any part of a
bath or shower recess or enclosure.

For unenclosed showers refer to Wiring Rules conditions.
Switches and other controls must not be located where they can be touched by a person in the bath

or shower.

NOTE: Tastic products must only be installed horizontally in ceiling.

• Do not look directly into heat lamps when in use.

• Tastic products are not tanning lamps.

• Make sure the lamps have cooled and power is off to the Tastic before removing lamps for replacement.

• Do not operate this appliance without the fascia in position.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

• This appliance must be mounted with the lowest point at least 2.1 metres from the floor.

• This appliance must not be mounted immediately below a socket outlet.

• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

WARNING: Curtains or combustible material may ignite if in contact with the heater.

SAFETY FEATURES

Thermal switch:

When Easy Duct Tastic works in FAN OFF mode and the temperature inside the unit reaches 55°C, the
thermal switch will switch on the fan automatically. When the temperature drops, the thermal switch will
switch off the fan.

Tastic

Over-temperature switch (PTCR):

When for any reason the temperature inside the unit reaches 80°C for model 12511, the PTCR will cut off
power to the Easy Duct Tastic. The PTCR can be reset by turning off power to the unit at the isolating switch
and allowing to cool for 10-15 minutes. The fusible resistor in models 11511 & 11532, when it reaches
93˚C will cut off the power. It is non-resettable. In such a case the Service Centre should be called as this
is not normal operation.

Safety

How it Works

The IXL Tastic range has been designed to exacting standards to give you many years of trouble-free
operation. To ensure you get the most from your Tastic there are a few simple points to keep in mind.

HEAT LAMPS

The IXL Tastic Heat Lamps have no warm up period because the infra red lamps provide instantaneous
heat, and are designed to heat you and not your bathroom - that’s the efficient way infra red heat
works. You’ll save money and energy, with an average cost of around one cent a shower if used
correctly, (based on average 5 minute drying time). Also, to get the full benefit of Tastic’s infra red
warmth, stand directly under the heat lamps. IXL’s exclusive clear heat lamps have been designed
specifically for this application, and concentrate their heat for maximum effectiveness.

Make sure you have the Tastic model that suits your bathroom ceiling height. This Tastic is
manufactured to offer peak performance with bathroom ceiling heights up to 2.4 m for the
Triumph 11511 and Mirage 11532, 2.7 m for Sensation 12511.

The Tastic half heat function is available on the 4 lamp models, and is another energy saver,
allowing you to adjust the heat level to suit prevailing conditions or personal preference.

VENTILATION

To ensure optimum performance of the exhaust fan, it is essential that there is adequate air flow into
your bathroom to help the Tastic’s powerful and efficient exhaust fan to quickly remove steam while
you shower. Your Tastic works by drawing steam-laden air from the room, and as with all exhaust fans
it is essential that sufficient air inlet is provided. Ensure adequate inlets exist through windows, vents
or under the door. Air flow path from inlet to fan should ideally pass over the steam source.

CENTRE LIGHT

The centre light in all Tastic models is designed to provide general illumination in your bathroom.
Note: For efficiency purposes, the centre light will not operate simultaneously with the heat lamps.

Ventilation Requirements

For maximum efficiency and fan performance there
are a few key points to keep in mind when installing
your Tastic.

Sufficient air inlet into room

Steam will only be removed if there is sufficient flow
of air through the room. Ensure generous inlets exist
through windows, vents or under the door. Air flow
path from inlet to fan should ideally pass over the
steam sources (see Fig. 1).

Clearances

This appliance must be mounted so that the
lowest point is at least 2.1 m above the floor. The
Tastic body and ducted blower is designed to fit
a ceiling cavity or between – floor space with a
minimum height of 235 mm (Fig. 2). The Tastic may
be installed between joists using the in built clip
fasteners. Ensure the outlet of the Tastic is directed
towards the outer wall. If the desired orientation of
the Tastic unit directs the ducting across ceiling joist
ensure that the closest ceiling joist is not within 200
mm of the Tastic outlet.
