Ventilation Requirements
Safety cont.
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 1.)
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. 3
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. 4 (page 7) 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. 4 cannot be fitted. IXL has other
Ventilation products available that are particularly
suited to installations between floors or where space
is restricted. Contact your nearest IXL Service Centre
on the numbers located on the back of this booklet.

• If the appliance does not function correctly or develops a fault, contact Sampford IXL immediately.
• Should the appliance be dropped or suffer a heavy blow, have it checked by an authorised service
agent for IXL products
• The electrical system to which the appliance is connected must conform to applicable standards.
• The electrical power supply/socket to which the appliance is to be connected must be able to
provide the maximum electrical power required by the appliance. If it can’t do this, contact a
qualified electrician to make the necessary modifications.
• Switch off the appliance at the installation’s main switch: a) if the appliance does not function
correctly; b) before cleaning the outside of the appliance; c) if the appliance is not going to be used
for any length of time.
• 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
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 free from dust to ensure optimum air flow
