MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CONDENSING WATER

During the heating season, humidity of extract air condenses to water. Water formation may
be abundant in new buildings or if ventilation is low compared to the humidity build-up
caused by the residents.

Condensing water needs to flow out from the ventilation unit without hindrance. In connection
with maintenance, e.g. in autumn before the beginning of the heating season, make sure
that the condensing water outlet in the bottom reservoir is not clogged. You may check it by
pouring a little water in the tank.

Do not let water flow to electrical devices.

Other cleaning

In connection with maintenance, also check the inner surface of the unit as well as the
condensing water tank. If they are dirty, clean them gently with a damp cloth, brush, vacuum
cleaner or similar. Keep the unit clean to ensure its flawless operation and hygiene.

COOKER HOOD GREASE FILTER

The grease filter of the cooker hood has to be cleaned 1 to
2 times a month, depending on the use of the hood. The
grease filter can be washed with hot water and washing-
up liquid or in a dishwasher.

Remove the grease filter by pressing the quick couplings (1)
open, letting the bottom plate go in the down position and
removing the filter from its clips (2).

LAMP

To change the lamp, remove the cover glass of the lamp by
pushing it to the left and put a new lamp and cover glass
in place. Lamp type is PL 11 (11 W).

OTHER PARTS OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM

Ductwork

In blocks of flats and terraced houses, the housing company takes
care of the maintenance and cleaning of the ductwork in accordance
with the regulations and instructions. In detached houses, the owner
takes care of the cleaning.

Valves

The valves may be gently cleaned on the surface. It is forbidden to
remove the valves and to change their adjustment values. Room dust
may also gather around the supply air filter. The easiest way to
remove it is to vacuum the valve with a brush nozzle. Dirt does not
come from the ductwork with ventilation, but consists of dust in indoor
air. This dust sticks to the ceiling or the wall caused by the flow
coming from the valve.
