MANUAL
VENTILATION CONTROL
Apartment-specific ventilation units allows residents to adjust
the ventilation eciency.Ventilation is controlled based on
the need e.g. through the cooker hood, ventilation control
panel, or a separate control centre.
It is recommended that ventilation be left turned on during
long holidays also. This keeps the indoor air fresh and
prevents humidity from condensing in the ventilation ducts
and structures. It also reduces the risk of moisture damage.
USING THE UNIT
The cooker hood has a sliding glass that can be pulled out of
the cooker hood. It is recommended that the sliding glass be
pushed or pulled from the aluminum strip on its front edge.
Pull the glass out of the cooker hood for maximal ex traction
capacity.
Front panel buttons
The front panel of the cooker hood has two buttons.
Position of the damper
In normal circumstances, the damper must be closed
(the signal light is o), which boosts the extract air flow
from other premises.
The damper must be open (the signal light is turned on)
when the user wants to increase the extract air flow from
the cooker hood e.g.
• when the cooker top or the oven is used for cooking;
• the load in the kitchen is exceptional due to the use
of strong detergents, presence of a large number of
people, or similar.
