INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

VENTILATION POWER ADJUSTMENT

VALLOX 70 COMPACT ventilation  units can be controlled with either a cooker
hood or a separate control centre.

Cooker hood control

The cooker hood is connected to the ventilation unit and is used to control air circulation in
the whole dwelling. Four power ranges are available.

Speed 1

Use during absence. When the dwelling is empty, ventilation can temporarily be diminished.

Speeds 2 and 3

These are speeds that are normally used. Speed 2 is used when the need for ventilation is
fairly small and air is good.

Speed 3 is used when there is a need for boosting – for instance in the following situations:
cooking, taking a sauna bath, drying clothes, use of toilet, guests, excess heat and "large
dwellings".

Speed 4

Boosting position, used as needed for example during cooking, parties and hot weathers.

Separate cooker hood (most often in detached houses)

If there is a cooker hood independent of the ventilation system in the dwelling, only use it
when needed. Using it does not affect the operation of the ventilation unit, because the unit
replaces air in other rooms. There is in this case a separate extract air valve in the kitchen
connected to the ventilation unit. The unit is controlled with a separate control centre.

Speed selection switch

The regulator (switch) is only used to control the ventilation unit. There are four power ranges
available.

Speed 1

Use during absence. When the dwelling is empty, ventilation can temporarily be diminished.

Speeds 2 and 3

These are speeds that are normally used. Speed 2 is used when the need for ventilation is
fairly small and air is good.

Speed 3 is used when there is a need for boosting – for instance in the following situations:
cooking, taking a sauna bath, drying clothes, use of toilet, guests, excess heat and "large
dwellings".

Speed 4

Boosting position, used as needed for example during cooking, parties and hot weathers.

Cooking

Cooking fumes are taken out with a cooker hood or a combination of a hood and roof
ventilator. For more instructions, see the instructions of the equipment in question.

Detailed instructions for special control centres are available.

Speed selection switch

The table on the preceding page
indicates rated speeds and air flows
for dwellings of different sizes. The
table also indicates the total electricity
consumption of the fans at each
speed.

Cooking

Open the flap of the cooker hood during cooking. At other times,
the flap must be kept closed. An open flap decreases the power
of ventilation in other rooms. There are different kinds of cooker
hoods. For more details, see the instructions for the hood in
question.
