VALLOX 70 COMPACT

TROUBLESHOOTING

Outdoor air coming to the dwelling is cold.

REASON

• Air cools down in the attic ducts.
• The heat recovery cell is frozen, which is why extract air cannot heat outdoor air.
• The post-heating radiator does not work.
• The extract air filter or the cell is clogged.
• The initial adjustment of ventilation has not been done.

DO THIS

• Measure the temperature of supply air in the unit and compare it with the air coming from the valve (see page 7).
• Check the insulation of the attic ducts.
• Check the operation of the defrost thermostat and preheating resistor (see the section Preheating radiator on page

4). You may adjust the defrost thermostat by turning its spindle clockwise to +10

°

C or counter-clockwise to 0

°

C.

At 0

°

C freezing is likely; at +10 

°

C no freezing occurs but extract air can be too warm when going out. According

to the factory setting, the defrost thermostat works at +5 

°

C.

• Check the operation of the radiator by comparing it with the curve (page 7). The curve shows the extent to which

extract air heats supply air without post-heating.

• Check that the filters and the heat recovery cell are clean.
• Check the initial adjustment.
