Product Information

Specifications

• Model: MAD31FHLX

Introduction and Considerations
The MADRID Fan Heater, Light and Exhaust unit is designed for installation in bathrooms. It is important to note the following considerations:

• The unit must be installed by a registered electrician and comply with all current Australian and New Zealand electrical and building regulations.
• The power supply cable must be suitably rated to handle the total load on the circuit.
• Do not install the unit in a location where there is a possibility of water splashing into the heater.

Ventilation Requirements
In order 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. Here are some guidelines:

• Air should ideally be drawn under the door (with a 20mm undercut) or through a slightly open window or room.
• If the room is airtight, the fan may operate poorly.
• The airflow path should pass over the steam source for optimal performance.

Clearance Requirements
It is important to maintain proper clearance around the MADRID Fan Heater, Light and Exhaust unit to prevent overheating or fire. Here are the recommended clearance distances:

• Minimum mounting height: 2.1 meters above the floor.
• Minimum distance from vertical walls: 250mm.

Installation Instructions

1. Mounting: Ensure the area behind the installation location is clear of cables, pipes, joists, or hidden utilities. Use the provided template to mark and cut a hole in the ceiling, ensuring sufficient space for the clamping arms to operate. The gap between the clamping arm and lip of the body should be slightly larger than the thickness of the ceiling.
2. Wiring: Remove the rear terminal cover and connect wires according to the wiring diagram provided. Refit the terminal cover. Note: Connect ducting (if required) after the unit is installed in the ceiling.
3. Insertion: Gently insert the unit into the cut-out hole, moving the side clamping arms inwards to allow the body to pass through without damaging the plasterboard. Rotate all six clamping arms out using the levers, then gently tighten the six screws to clamp and secure the unit.
4. LED Panel: Connect the LED panel power connector.
5. Fascia Attachment: Attach the fascia to the body, aligning the HEATER marking on the inside of the fascia with the HEATER marking on the HFL body. Tighten screws, avoiding overtightening. Do not use an electric drill or impact driver.
6. Ducting: Attach ducting to extract the air to the soffit or outer wall using the provided 3m long flexible ducting, duct clamp, and vent outlet grille. Fix and tighten the duct clamp firmly to hold the flexible duct to the unit and the outer wall vent. To maximize airflow, cut the duct to size as required, ensuring it is in a fully expanded state with minimal bends or corners.

FAQ

• Q: Can I install the MADRID Fan Heater, Light and Exhaust unit myself?
  A: No, this unit must be installed by a registered electrician to ensure compliance with electrical and building regulations.

• Q: What are the clearance requirements for installation?
  A: The unit should be mounted at least 2.1 meters above the floor and at least 250mm away from vertical walls.

• Q: How should I ensure proper ventilation?
  A: Replacement air of a volume equivalent to what is being extracted should be able to enter the room. Air can be drawn under the door (with a 20mm undercut) or through a slightly open window or room. Avoid installing the unit in an airtight room as it may affect its performance.

• Q: Can I cover the MADRID Fan Heater, Light and Exhaust unit with insulating material?
  A: No, the unit should not be covered with insulating or similar material as it may cause overheating or other safety issues.

IMPORTANT
This integrated bathroom heat-fan-light unit must be installed by a registered electrician and its installation and connection to the power supply must comply with all current Australian and New Zealand electrical and building regulations including AS/NZS3000, or latest edition thereof.
The power supply cable must be suitably rated by a registered electrician to satisfy the total load on that circuit.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Use this heat-fan-light unit only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer or local agent.

• To prevent electrical shock, please ensure that power is DISCONNECTED before installing.

• All wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with all national wiring codes.

• When cutting into the ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

• The heat-fan-light unit must be properly earthed.

• 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.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the unit.

• The surface is extremely hot when in use. Allow surface to cool sufficiently before touching or replacement.

• Exhaust fans may adversely affect the safe operation of burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of an exhaust fan such as a partition fan or a duct fan the operation of
  flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.

• Any alterations or additions to building wiring must be completed by a licensed electrician or person authorised by legislation to work on the fixed wiring of
  any electrical installation.

INTRODUCTION AND CONSIDERATIONS

• Read these instructions carefully before installing & using the product.
• Always operate this product from a power source of the same voltage, frequency and rating as indicated on rating label.
• This product is designed for installation in flat ceilings only. Don’t mount on a sloping ceiling or a vertical wall.
• Locate and install the product in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3000 and local building codes.
• Do not install in a location where there is a possibility of water splashing into the heater.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

• 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.
• Generally, air would be drawn under the door (20mm undercut), or through a slightly open room. If the room is airtight, the fan will operate poorly. Air flow path should ideally pass over the steam source.
• Before commencing any cutting, check in the ceiling space that there are no obstructions such as ceiling joists and that there is sufficient height clearance for the housing. Check that the electrical wiring can be routed from the wall switches to the mounting location.
• The appliance shall, under no circumstances, be covered with insulating, or similar, material.
