This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play
with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance of the
appliance shall not be made by children.
Check that the electrical rating shown on each fan matches the mains supply.
All installations must be supervised by a qualified electrician. Installations and
wiring must conform to current local regulations.
Do read the entire instruction leaflet before commencing installation.
Do make sure the mains supply is switched o before attempting to make
electrical connections or carry out any maintenance or cleaning.
The appliance is double insulated and does not require an earth connection.
AVX100WT
Built-in timer operates fan for a preset delay from 30
seconds to 30 minutes. Operate the fan using an on/
off switch (not supplied).
AVX100WH
Operates when triggered automatically by the integral
humidity sensor, or by using an external on/off switch
(not supplied).
In automatic mode: The built-in timer
automatically operates the fan for a pre-set delay
time from 30 seconds to 30 minutes once
humidity drops below the pre-set relative
humidity (RH) value.
External operation: When switched o using
the external on/o switch the fan continues to run
for the preset delay from 30 seconds to 30 minutes.
*Factory settings: Timer 15 minutes, RH 75%.
Wall Mounting
• A ø100mm prepared hole.
• An external Wall Grille and ø100mm
wall sleeve duct.
Ceiling Mounting
• A ø100mm prepared hole.
Appropriate items depending on ceiling type.
• 3m flexible ducting
If the duct passes through a cold space use
insulated duct
• Condensation Trap. Fitted immediately
above the fan, this prevents water ingress due
to condensation forming in the duct above
the fan and running down.
Surface Mounting
• Miniature PVC trunking 16mm
wide x 8mm deep.
Locate it as high as possible. At least 110mm
from the edges of the mounting surface to
the centre of the hole. As far away as possible
from and opposite to the main source of air
replacement to ensure airflow across the
room (e.g. opposite the internal doorway).
Near the source of steam or odours.
Not where ambient temperatures are likely
to exceed 50°C. If installed in a kitchen,
fans must not be mounted immediately
above a cooker hob, or eye level grill.
If installing in a room containing a fuel
burning device which has a non-balanced
flue, it is the installer’s responsibility to
ensure that there is enough replacement air
to prevent fumes being drawn down the flue
when the fan is operating up to maximum
extract. Refer to Building Regulations for
specific requirements. Exhaust air must not
be discharged into a flue used for exhausting
of fumes from appliances supplied with
energy other than electric. Requirements of
all authorities concerned must be observed
for exhaust air discharge and intake flow
rates. Not suitable for use in possible
chemical corrosive atmospheres
UK only (all variants)
All models are connected to a double pole
isolating switch on the main circuit. For fixed
wiring circuits, the protective fuse for the
appliance must not exceed 5A.

Installation
Warning: Do not make any connections
to the electrical supply at this stage.
Wet Rooms: on/o switch must be
situated so that it cannot be touched
by persons making use of the bath or shower.
The installation must be performed in
accordance with local wiring regulations.
• If metal switch boxes are used, earthing
regulations must be followed.
• The cross-sectional area of the supply cord
used should be ranged between 1-1.5mm².
