To prevent overheating do not place any object within 1 metre of heat lamps.

NOTE: This product must be installed by a qualified installer. Locate the Tastic in accordance with the requirements of the current Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 relating to damp situations. In some installations this may mean that no part of these 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.

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 lamp’s replacement.
Do not operate this appliance without the fascia or glass panels 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.

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

Thermal Switch
When Tastic heat lamp is operating and the fan is off, if the temperature inside the unit reaches 65°C, the built-in thermal switch will switch on the fan automatically to cool the unit. When the temperature drops, the thermal switch will switch off the fan.

Over-temperature switch (PTCR)
If for any reason the temperature inside the Tastic reaches 80°C, The PTCR will cut off power to the unit. The PTCR can be reset by turning off power to the unit at the isolating switch and allowing to cool for 10-15 minutes.

In such a case the Service Centre should be called as this is not normal operation.

In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

How it Works

The Tastic Ovation 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 Ovation uses 800W tungsten halogen heat lamp in conjunction with reflective element, for a more efficient dispersion of radiant heat. The tungsten halogen lamp provides instantaneous heat, and is designed to heat you and not your whole bathroom – that’s the efficient way infra red heat works. To get the full benefit of Tastic’s tungsten halogen warmth, stand directly under the heat lamp. IXL’s exclusive halogen lamps have been designed specifically for this application, and concentrate their heat for maximum effectiveness.

This Tastic is manufactured to optimal peak performance with bathroom ceiling heights from 2.2m.

Centre LEDs
With 3 x Frosted LED globes, the Tastic Ovation is designed to provide diffused light, soothing to your eyes without compromising on the quality of lighting in your bathroom.

In order to ensure long life of the LED globes, they will not operate while the heat lamp is switched on If the heat lamp is switched on while the LED’s are on, they will automatically turn off. When the heat is turned off the LED’s will automatically turn back on again.

Ventilation
IXL Tastic Ovation utilises a high performance centrifugal fan to draw steam out of your bathroom and vent it directly outside. (Fig. 2). To allow the Tastic’s efficient exhaust fan to remove steam while you shower, it is essential that there is adequate air flow into your bathroom through windows, vents or under the door. (Fig. 1). The air flow path from inlet to fan should ideally pass over the steam source. Bathrooms which have high ceilings, are larger than average, or have an open shower may all require an additional ventilation fan.

We recommend that you visit our website for further details and suggestions on effectively ventilating your bathroom.

Removing Glass Shield

Preparing
Turn the heat lamp off and let it cool for at least 5 minutes. For extra safety, switch the power off at the isolating switch. Position a sturdy ladder of sufficient height to let you safely and comfortably reach the Tastic Ovation. Ask someone to hold the ladder if you can.
Removing Glass Shield
With one hand gently press the glass shield (at a point close to the air inlet) 20 mm towards the ceiling and carefully slide it towards the air inlet. Hold your other hand below the other end of the shield to catch it when it drops. If the shield chips, cracks or breaks replace it with IXL Tastic Ovation® Tempered Glass Shield (Part 12200), not normal household glass. Do not operate the heat lamp without the glass shield in place.

Step 1. Push up inner edge of glass
Step 2. Slide glass across **| Step 3.** Glass drops down

Heat Lamp Replacement

Fig. 4

Removing Heat Lamp
A spring-loaded socket holds each end of the heat lamp. Gently grasp the heat lamp and push it towards one socket. When it is free of the other socket, carefully pull the heat lamp down towards you. The heat lamp is not recyclable. Dispose of it like a normal incandescent light globe (i.e. unbroken, with your general waste, wrapped in any paper or cloth you used).

Fitting New Heat Lamp
Natural skin oils and salts damage new halogen lamps and shorten their life. Only handle a new heat lamp with soft, dry, clean, lint-free cloth or paper. You can wear gloves, cover your fingers or wrap the heat lamp until it is installed (so long as you remove all cloth or paper when finished).

If your skin touches a new heat lamp, wipe it gently it with cloth or paper. The heat lamp is half coated with a white reflector. When you grasp the heat lamp, face the back of the reflector to the ceiling (so you can see the heat lamp’s filament). Not doing this will reduce performance.

Fit one end of the heat lamp into a socket and gently push it away from the other socket.
When there is enough room, fit the other end of the heat lamp into its socket. (Fig. 4).
Gently rotate the heat lamp to ensure it is correctly seated (i.e. it looks like the old one did before you removed it).
Replace the glass shield by reversing the directions for removing it. (Fig. 3).
Switch the power on and test the heat lamp.

LED Replacement

It is recommended to use authentic IXL GU10 type frosted LED globes to ensure that replacement lighting fits the unit, and to preserve the style of the IXL Tastic Ovation. When replacing the LED globes be aware that the maximum allowable total power for all LED’s combined is 50W.
Note: Position a sturdy ladder of sufficient height to let you safely and comfortably reach the Tastic Ovation.

Ask someone to hold the ladder if you can.
Step 1.
Remove fascia by pulling it down gently off the unit. Note that the LED globes are fitted to the fascia and wired to the unit so lower the fascia carefully. (Fig. 5).

Step 2.
The LED lights are clipped to the fascia by two small retention tabs. Push LED’s sideways to unclip from fascia. Then disconnect the faulty LED from the globe holder by twisting and remove from the socket.

Fig. 5

Step 3.
Connect the new LED to the globe holder. Insert all LED’s back into the fascia by locating under the tab on one side and pressing firmly to locate the tab on the other side. (Fig. 6).

Step 4.
Replace the fascia on the Tastic and press up firmly to engage all mounting clips. Check to see fascia is fully engaged and sitting on the ceiling before letting go.

Frequently asked questions

Q Will my Tastic heat my bathroom?
A No, your Tastic is designed to provide infra red radiant heat to warm the body while drying, when standing directly underneath. It is not designed as a room heater.
Q  Can I install my Tastic directly above a shower recess?
A For safety reasons this Tastic cannot be installed above shower recess. Please refer to the current Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 relating to damp situations for further details.
Q What will happen if I leave my heat lamp on without fan operation?
A The fan will commence operation automatically to keep the unit operating at a safe temperature. When the unit has cooled sufficiently the fan will switch off automatically.
Q What is the maximum recommended light globe wattage that I can install in my Tastic?
A Check the rating label for the maximum safe wattage for your product.
Q Why is my Tastic making noise?
A All Tastics create some noise due to the rapid movement of air through the Tastic. You may also notice a ticking noise as the unit heats or cools from operating the heat lamp.
Q Can the installer rotate the IXL wall switch mechanisms?
A Yes, the wall switches can be rotated by a qualified electrical trades person.
Q Can my installer use an alternative wall switch mechanism other than the one supplied with my IXL product?
A Yes, your authorised installer can use an alternative switch mechanism.
Q My Tastic unit’s extraction fan doesn’t seem to be removing all the moisture and steam from my bathroom?
A There are a number of factors that will influence the exhaust fan’s performance. Firstly you can improve your cross ventilation via an open door or window; refer to page 7 of the instructions for details on improving the room’s air flow. If you live in a traditionally cooler climate, in the winter months during hot showers, you may notice that there is more moisture and condensation build up. If this is the case, you may wish to improve your natural ventilation or invest in an additional exhaust fan. Bathrooms which have high ceilings, are larger than average, or have an open shower may all require additional ventilation. We recommend that you visit our website for further details and suggestions on effectively ventilating your bathroom. Tastic Ovation is designed to suit bathrooms up to 9m2
Q Can the Tastic Ovation duct vertically through the roof?
A Yes, additional parts required (not supplied).
