Intended use

The freeAir100 is a decentralized fresh air ventilation system with heat recovery. The purpose of

the device is to ventilate one or more rooms in apartments or houses. The device is installed in

an outside wall.

Expended air is drawn from the room the device is installed in. The air is drawn from other

rooms (such as kitchen or bathroom) in case the 2nd room extract option is installed.

Fresh and filtered air is returned to the room the device is installed in. The addition of the 2nd

room supply option enables fresh and filtered air return to an additional room for instance a bed

room.

Inappropriate use

The device is exclusively to be used for ventilation purposes.

DANGER

Only air not containing flammable, explosive or corrosive components or air not containing any

other dangerous or hazardous components must be used for ventilating purposes.

Disposal

Dispose of the freeAir100 in accordance with your local rules, regulations or guide lines.

Please pay special attention to correctly sorted metal, plastics and electronics.
