Locate the IXL Ventflo 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 appliance may be
located directly above any part of a bath or shower recess or enclosure. For
unenclosed showers refer to Wiring Rules conditions. This unit is fitted with
a cord and plug, however, any interconnecting wiring and switches used or use
of another cord and plug must be fitted by a licensed electrician.
Switches and other controls must not be located where they can be touched by a
person in the bath or shower.

appliance for functions other than those described in this user guide. · After
removing the appliance from its packaging, ensure that it is complete and
undamaged. · If in doubt contact a qualified electrician or IXL Home. Do not
leave packaging within the reach
of children or infirm persons. · This appliance is not intended for use by

· The room must have an adequate source of replacement air for this appliance
to function effectively. Moreover, if there is any non-sealed combustion based
appliance such as a water/gas heater, gas stove etc. in the same room, air
replacement must be sufficient for all appliances to work effectively
together. · Keep the appliance’s inlet grille/guard free from dust to ensure
optimum air flow.
Clearances
All appliances must be mounted so that the lowest point is at least 2.1m above
the floor.
The IXL Eco Ventflo is designed to fit a ceiling cavity with a minimum height
of 155mm (10332) & 200mm (10333) when installed in a well ventilated roof
cavity. Where ventilation is restricted, these heights should be increased by
a minimum of 60mm. This will allow for the back draught shutters to open fully
when the unit is in operation.
Additionally, a minimum of 40mm clearance is required between the sides of the
fan and any adjoining parts of the roof structure, such as walls, joists or
insulation batts.

Flat Roof Installations
When installing into a flat roof with insufficient clearance, or where ceiling
cavity ventilation is restricted, an external venting duct must be installed.
Use Fig. 2 as a guide to minimum external outlet requirements.
IMPORTANT: Do not attach the duct to the body of the fan. Allow for 10-20mm
minimum gap between the fan and the end of the duct. The duct should have a
diameter of at least 235mm (10332) & 290mm (10333).

Electrical Requirements
See the wiring diagram (Fig. 3) 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.
Ventilation Requirements
For maximum efficiency and fan performance there are a few key points to keep in mind when installing your IXL Eco Ventflo exhaust fan.
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 4.)
Adequate ventilation in roof cavity
It is essential that there is adequate space within the roof cavity so that
exhaust air from the fan can dissipate. Where space is restricted, use Fig. 1
as a guide to minimum requirements for adequate ventilation.
The roof cavity itself should be well ventilated to outside so that moist air
can be removed. Local building codes may require flueing to outside through
roof as per Fig. 2 for flat roof installation.
Where ventilation space is restricted
This product is not recommended for installation between floors of multi-
storey dwellings, or where space within the roof cavity is severely restricted
and a flue as per Fig. 2 cannot be fitted. IXL has other Ventilation products
available that are particularly suited to installations between floors or
where space is restricted.
For further details and advice on ventilation products and tips, contact our
retail partners or IXL Home customer service team.

Installation
Important considerations before installing · Remove protective packaging from
the product before installation. · 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. Prepare the ceiling Using the template provided, mark the ceiling with a
pencil outline and cut out the required hole (10332 needs 240mm dia. & 10333
needs 295mm dia. hole).
3. Remove the grille (simply turn anti-clockwise to unlock), see (Fig.5) 4.
Plug the fan into the power point.
a. Before inserting the fan into the opening, push the three bar clamps all
the way out to hold the fan in the ceiling. Push the fan into the ceiling
opening and secure the exhaust fan by tightening the screws securely (Fig.6)
b. For thicker ceilings (13mm or more), remove the three bar clamps. Use wood
screws (not supplied) to secure the fan to the ceiling. Locate screws in the 3
holes in the outer lip of the fan frame.
5. Using a screwdriver (or a battery driver with a low torque setting)
partially tighten the screws. This will move the mounting clips into the open
position and hold the unit to the ceiling.
6. Rotate the unit so that the grille direction lines on the body are aligned
with the walls. These lines show the orientation of the fascia grille when
installed.
7. Do not over tighten the screws as this can damage plasterboard. 8. Fit
grille onto unit. Once fitted the grille can be adjusted to better align with
the walls.

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.
Note: Shut off power urgently when any abnormalities occur in operation. Then
call a licensed electrician or IXL service person for inspection 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. 3.
When the unit is switched off, the draught shutters when closing, will make a
slight sound. This is normal operation.
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. The
grille can be cleaned in a dishwasher on low heat setting ~45°C and only wash
on the
top shelf. 4. Replace the grille from the dishwasher after it is thoroughly
dry.
