IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING
A few minutes of planning can make a big difference to the installation
time and also to your satisfaction with the function of the unit.
1. The unit should not be installed directly above a shower or bathtub. The
unit must not be installed in a position where water may splash onto the
unit.
2. The unit must not be installed beneath a fixed socket or power outlet.
3. The unit is designed for installation in flat ceilings only. Do not mount it
on a sloping ceiling or a vertical wall.
4. The heat lamp is most effective when you are standing directly beneath
them, so generally the unit would be mounted a place where you would
stand to dry yourself.
5. 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, this air would be drawn under the door, or through a slightly
open window. If the room is airtight, the fan will function poorly.
6. 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.
INSTALLATION
1. Cutting a vent
Locate a vent position (above the ceiling) on the wall, and then cut a
155mm diameter hole at this very position.
2. Ducting
Put one end of the 150mm diameter ventiduct into the vent hole and seal
space around the hole using a suitable sealant and cowling where
necessary.
Note: Since the length of each duct is 3.0m, make sure that from the
centre of installation position there should be a distance within 3.0m to the
outside vent.
3. Suitable loacation
For the purpose of obtaining the best heating results, the heater should be
no more than 2.3m from the ground after the heater is well fixed.

4. Prepare the ceiling
Select the mounting position for the unit. Before commencing any
cutting, check in the ceiling space that there are no obstructions such
as joints and that there is sufficient height clearance for the housing.
Cut around the attached hole-cutting template and use this template
to mark the hole outline on the ceiling.
Make sure a distance between the edges and wall is no less than
250mm. Also from the rooftop should be a minimum 210mm height
to the ceiling.
5. Remove the fascia
Remove 4 silicon clips at 2
ends of the rectangle air inlet
grilles. Remove the screws
hidden inside. Remove the
fascia.
Note: Hold the fascia carefully
with hand while removing the
screws so that the fascia
doesn't fall to ground.
6. Remove the lamps
1) Remove 4 LED lamps from the heat unit and keep them in a safe
place.
2) The heat lamp is not installed on the unit. It is packed together with
the glass shield inside a separate foam package, please keep it in a
safe place.
7. Wiring
Connect one end of the interconnecting wire with the switch panel,
and then drag the other end power cable out of the hole on the
ceiling. Open the terminal block cover on the housing and make
connection as the wiring diagram instructs, then reposition the
terminal block cover. Tuck the redundant wire into the ceiling so as to
leave the housing enough room to fix in.
Note: Ensure that the power is turned off before carrying out any
work on electrical installations.
