The iCON range can be used as a simple extract fan operated by a remote switch, or can be
fitted with an internal control module, available separately to give a range of control options
including timer, humidity, motion sensor, pull cord, trickle speed or combinations of these
functions. Optional modules are available separately and can be fitted at the time of
installation or retrofitted.
The iCON Fan has an IP X4 rating housing and is suitable for mounting in Zone 2 in
bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, utility rooms and inside shower cubicles as defined in Section
701 BS7161:2008 (IEEE wiring standards, 17th Edition ). They also comply with the latest
Building Regulations.
Do not place the ventilator near direct heat sources, e.g. radiant heaters,or where
temperatures can exceed 40°C (104°F).
The Fan requires a 230V 50Hz single phase supply. Class II equipment. BS EN 60417. An
external 3A fuse is required for each fan unit. Note: Switches for fans should be selected and
sited in accordance with BS7161:2008

All electrical installation to be carried out by an approved electrician in accordance with Part
“P” U.K. Building Regulations and to the latest IEEE standards, or the appropriate regulations
in the country of installation.
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.”
“Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance”
“The fan is to be installed so that the blades are more than 2,1 m above the floor( for fans
intended to be mounted at the high level)”
ALWAYS ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT AND FAN UNIT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER.
Mechanical Installation
iCON Domestic Fan can be recessed in a wall or
ceiling. A mounting skirt is provided for surface
mounting the iCON 30 and iCON 60.
To avoid the backflow of condensation into the fan
in a ceiling installation it is good practice to fit a
CONDENSATION TRAP to the outlet duct of the fan.
Ensure free running of the fan impeller and that
flexible duct connections are not over tightened to
the fan outlet spigot.
Airflow recommends that rigid ducting is used
instead of flexible ducting, this will ensure
maximum performance

Recessing Fans in the Wall
The iCON 15 and iCON 15C requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall lined with a
100mm id (internal diameter) duct.
The iCON30 requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall, counter bored 160mm to a
depth of 75mm. The 110mm hole should be lined with a 100mm id duct.
The iCON60 requires a 160mm diameter hole through the wall, counter bored 190mm to a
depth of 75mm. The hole should be lined with 150mm id duct.
Surface Mounting Fans on the Wall
When surface mounting the iCON30 and iCON60 the supplied mounting skirt should be
used.
The iCON30 requires a 110mm diameter hole through the wall lined with a 100 mm id duct
and the iCON60 requires a 160mm diameter hole through the wall, lined with a 150 mm id
duct
Recessing Fans in the Ceiling
When recessing fans in the ceiling, a plywood support (min 18mm thick) should be mounted
between the ceiling joists. Fans should not be fitted to unsupported plaster board.

MOUNTING SKIRT
The iCON 15 and iCON 15C requires a 110mm diameter hole through the ceiling. The fan
should be fixed, with the screws provided, through the plaster board into the support.
The iCON30 will require a 160mm diameter hole and the iCON60 a 190mm hole.
Surface Mounting Fans on the Ceiling
When surface mounting the iCON30, the mounting skirt should be used.
The iCON30 requires a 110mm diameter hole through the ceiling and the iCON60 a 170mm
diameter hole. The surface mounted skirt to be fixed, with the screws provided, through the
plaster board into the support. The fan is then fitted into the skirt.
Where flexible duct is used the diameter must be maintained.

Maintenance
SAFETY FIRST: ALWAYS ISOLATE THE FAN UNIT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
REMOVING THE COVER.
Warranty only covers the fan, not the reinstallation of this if required.
When installed according to these instructions the iCON Domestic Fans are completely safe.
The materials used do not constitute a hazard. The module covers are made of a flame
retardant material.
Cleaning
The external housing of the fan can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use household
cleaners containing abrasives.
Cleaning of the internal parts such as the impeller should be carried out using a soft
brush.
Note: Always ensure that the fan unit is isolated from the power supply before inserting
the brush into the impeller duct.
Never clean any parts of the fan assembly by immersing in water or using a dishwasher.
Trouble shooting Tip:
Take care not to over tighten the duct connection to the fan spigot. This can result in
restricting the free rotation of the impeller and a thermal overload of the motor could occur
causing short term fan failure. In the event of this occurring loosen the duct connection so
that the impeller rotates freely within the spigot.
The motor is fitted with an automatic reset after approximately 15 minutes and will restart
the fan when reconnected to the module controller and mains supply.
