Maintenance

Kitchen hood

Documentation

Cleaning the fans

If the fans are to retain their capacity, it is important to 
ensure that they are clean. This is particularly important 
for systems that are connected to a kitchen hood. 
The fans therefore have to be removed for an annual 
inspection and cleaned if any dirt and grease have built up 
on the fan blades.

Function check

When maintenance is being carried out, the system should 
be checked to make sure that important parts are working 
properly:

Fans

Set the unit to Max and check that the supply air valves 
are blowing and the extract air valves are sucking.

Rotor

It is vital that this should rotate when there is a need for 
heat recovery, e.g. if the outdoor temperature is below 
10°C. If the rotor is not working properly, an error signal 
will appear on the control panel. Also check that the air 
intake and exhaust are clear and not blocked by leaves 
and debris.

Changing the filters

Depending on how dusty the environment is, the filters 
will gradually become blocked and let less air through. 
The filters therefore have to be changed at least once a 
year (usually in the autumn).

Damper

When cooking, open the damper by turning the damper knob on 
the front of the unit.

Damper closed

1

Damper half open

Damper fully open

3

Damper fully open and air flow rate increased to 
speed 3 (forced ventilation). 

Must be used when 

cooking if the outdoor temperature is low to 
prevent condensation forming in and on the 
unit.

The grease filter

 

must be cleaned about twice a month.  Take 

the filter down and place it in hot water with washing-up liquid. 
The filter cassette can go in the dishwasher. The hood should be 
cleaned inside with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.

For more information see the user manual and installation instructions supplied with the product. 

They can also be downloaded from www.flexit.no. Keep the projection documents, including the ventilation drawings, in 
a safe place.

The unit must be unplugged from the mains before any maintenance 
is carried out. Then wait a few minutes for the fans to stop.
