1 Introduction
The ICon Pro is a safe and easy to use machine. This manual helps you to get started and explains the
operation and maintenance procedure. You will be surprised how fast and effective the ICon Pro is in
improving the indoor air quality. But remember, NO unit in the world is able to remove 100% of all
contaminants from the air. The quality of healed air delivered by ICon Pro is unconquerable.
Indoor air quality refers to the air quality within buildings and structures, focusing on health and
comfort of building occupants. In general it is what we experience as the temperature, humidity, good
or bad ventilation and concentration of different air contaminants.
It is scientifically proven that the indoor air quality can be five to ten times worse than outdoor air
quality, especially with regard to airborne chemicals
and microbiological contamination
.
There are three main contaminants’ groups :
•
particulate matter - air suspended particles (commonly known as PM level);
•
VOC (volatile organic compounds) - gases emitted from solid or liquid sources, which include
a wide range of chemicals, some with short term or long term effect on health and human
body;
•
(micro) biological contamination - includes bacteria, viruses and molds.
Only by eliminating all three groups of contaminants the air we breathe is safe and healthy. We call it
healed air.
The best way to improve your indoor air quality is to:
•
reduce the contamination at its ’s source , for example by reducing the use of chemicals
(including cleaning chemicals), using proper filters in vacuum cleaners and reducing cross
contamination between rooms and buildings;
•
improve ventilation (often a difficult and expensive solution, especially in modern buildings
with complex HVAC systems);
•
use an air cleaner. The ICon Pro is one of the very few air cleaners that deliver really pure air.
We call it healed air, since it is perfectly purified and healthy.
TCO continuously improves all their products based on user experience and feedback. Any deviations
between the texts and/ or images from the manual and your ICon Pro can therefore arise from the
difference in model or from possible changes due to continuous development and innovation.
1.1 Intended use of the product
The ICon Pro is developed around the unique FS-ACT® technology (USA, Europe and other countries
patent protected) which targets all three groups of contaminants, delivering really clean air.
FS-ACT
®
translates into Full Spectrum Air Cleaning Technology. Our system is the first and only on the
market which works truly as a Neutralize &Collect technology. The ICon Pro does not just filter the air.
It also neutralizes all living organisms, brakes down and eliminates harmful gases and, before air outlet,
collects all particles and what is left from microbes on a high grade filter.
•
The ICon Pro is for indoor use only, do not use it outdoors.
•
The machine is designed for commercial use in medium to large spaces (up to 500 m
2
).
Of course the actual space coverage will depend on contamination level. In a specific
situation with one ICon Pro unit you will be able to heal the air on a smaller space or you may
be forced to use two units.
