Clearances
All appliances must be mounted so that the lowest point is at least 2.1m above the floor. The IXL Vent n Lite is designed to fit a ceiling
cavity with a minimum height of 320 mm when installed in a well-ventilated roof cavity. Where ventilation is restricted, these heights should
be increased by a minimum of 25 mm. additionally, a minimum of 40 mm clearance is required between the sides of the fan and any
adjoining parts of the roof structure, such as walls, joists or insulation batts.
Electrical Requirements
See the wiring diagram (Fig. 4) for supply requirements and maximum loadings for each model. Fans may be connected to a lighting
power circuit if loading permits. Wiring of the wall switch (not provided) and socket outlet in roof cavity must be carried out by a
registered electrician. The wall switch should be located in accordance the Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000. It must not be installed where it
can be reached by a person in the bath or shower.
Installation
Important considerations before installing
• Joists, beams and rafters shall not be cut or notched to install the appliance.
• 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.
• This product is designed for installation in flat ceiling only. Do not mount it on a sloping ceiling
or vertical wall.
1. Locating the unit – Before commencing any cutting, check in the ceiling space that there are
no obstructions such as ceiling joists and that there is sufficient clearance for the housing.
Check that the electrical wiring can be routed from the wall switches to the mounting location.
2. Insert a pencil or nail through A. The centre hole of the template and position it on the centre
of the desired hole in the ceiling. Insert a pencil through the hole for the B Vent n Lite and draw a
circle. Cut out the hole 265mm dia.
3. Remove the Grille by rotating it until it releases from the fan.
4. Rotate the three mounting clamps towards the centre of the fan (position A). Insert the fan body through the hole in the ceiling. Turn
the three clamps across to position B and tighten the fixing screws clockwise until the fan housing is firm against the ceiling.
5. Ensure the cord is clear of the fan blade and connect the plug. Replace the grille.
6. When installing in ceiling material above 15mm thick remove three (3) clamps and use three (3) wood screws.
7. If you require the fan and light to operate independently, modifications to the supply cord terminal block is required.
8. The plug is to be accessible after installation.
9. The fan is to be installed 2.1m from the floor.
10. Replacement bulb should not be greater than 100W

Use
1. Turn the power switch on/off to make sure the unit runs
2. Running the fan can exhaust steam and odours quickly and efficiently.

and necessary service work.
Do not insert fingers or thin bars into the grille when the unit is operating. This could cause harm to yourself and the appliance.
The unit must not be installed in a place that suffers from severe water leakage.
Cleaning
1. Shut power off before cleaning or maintenance.
2. Remove grille and wipe it with care using a damp soft cloth with a mild detergent if necessary. Ensure the motor or other electrical parts
can’t touch the water.
3. Replace the grille after it is thoroughly dry.
