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 lamps for 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.

SAFETY FEATURES
Thermal Switch (Heat Module only)
When for any reason the temperature inside the unit reaches 65°C, the thermal switch will cut off power to the Tastic Luminate. When the temperature drops, the thermal switch will automatically reset and reconnect the power.
In such a case Customer Service should be called as this is not normal operation.

How it Works

The IXL Luminate Module range has been designed to exacting standards to give you many years of free operation. To ensure you get the most from your Module there are a few simple points to keep in mind.
Heat Lamps
The IXL Tastic Luminate® Heat Module uses 800W tungsten halogen heat lamps in conjunction with reflective elements, for a more efficient dispersion of radiant heat. The tungsten halogen lamps provide instantaneous heat, and are designed to heat you and not your bathroom – that’s the efficient way infrared heat works. To get the full benefit of Luminate’s tungsten halogen warmth, stand directly under the heat lamps. IXL’s exclusive halogen lamps have been designed specifically for this application, and concentrate their heat for maximum effectiveness.
Make sure you have the Luminate model that suits your bathroom ceiling height. This Tastic Luminate is manufactured to offer peak performance with bathroom ceiling heights up to 2.7m. If your bathroom ceiling is higher than 2.7m, more than one heat module may be required, depending on desired comfort levels.
Ventilation
To ensure optimum performance of the exhaust fan, it is essential that there is adequate air flow into your bathroom to help the Luminate’s efficient exhaust fan to remove steam while you shower, venting directly outside. Your Luminate works by drawing steam-laden air from the room, and as with all exhaust fans it is essential that sufficient air inlets are provided. Ensure adequate inlets exist through windows, vents or under the door. Air flow path from fresh air inlets (refer to Fig. 1) to fan should ideally pass over the steam source.
The Ventilation modules are suitable for use on their own in bathrooms (with shower) up to 20m³ in volume. If your bathroom is bigger than this, a secondary fan ventilation unit may be required, depending on bathroom layout.
We recommend that you visit our website for further details and suggestions on effectively ventilating your bathroom.
LED Panel
The LED panel in Tastic Luminate® is designed to provide room lighting in your bathroom and can be operated in either Cool(4000K) or Warm (3000K) light modes.
For specific tasks like shaving or putting make-up on, you may need extra lighting to suit your individual needs.

Ventilation Requirements

Overview

Heat Lamp Replacement

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 Luminate®. 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 curved side of the reflector) 5mm towards the ceiling and carefully slide it towards the curved.
Hold your other hand below the other end of the shield to catch it when it drops.
If the shield chips, cracks or breaks, do not use the heat lamp without it. Replace it with IXL Tastic Luminate® Tempered Glass Shield (Part 12200), not normal household glass.
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.
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.
Switch the power on and test the heat lamp.

Replacement Lamps

NOTE: Replacement with any other lamps other than those listed below may cause damage to the Tastic Luminate® Module and void the warranty.

Cleaning & Maintenance

WARNING: Always make sure the unit is turned off and allow all lamps to cool before cleaning.
Maintenance of the Tastic Luminate® Module is required to ensure the quality of the product and functions are maintained.

To clean the fascia and air inlet of dust and lint use a vacuum with a brush attachment, alternatively a damp cloth with liquid glass cleaner can also be used.
Cleaning and maintenance will help to preserve the life-span and performance of the Tastic Luminate® Module.
Note: Position a sturdy ladder of sufficient height to let you safely and comfortably reach the Tastic Luminate. Ask someone to hold the ladder if you can.

Frequently asked questions

Q Will my Tastic Luminate® heat my bathroom?

A No, your Tastic Luminate® is designed to provide infra red radiant heat to warm the body when standing directly underneath. It is not designed as a room heater.

Q Can I install my Tastic Luminate® directly above a shower recess?

A Both the Luminate® Vent and Vent & Light modules can be installed directly above a shower recess A Luminate heat module cannot.

Q Why is my Tastic Luminate® making noise?

A All Luminate's create some noise due to the rapid movement of air through the Luminate®. You may also notice a ticking noise as the unit heats or cools from operating the heat. These are minor expansion/contraction sounds during heat up and cool down. These are not considered to be a product fault.

Q Can the Tastic Luminate® duct vertically through the roof?

A Yes, you can use rigid 150mm diameter duct with appropriate fixings, termination and flashing this must only be performed by a qualified person.

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 6 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.
