MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

The fine filter (B) is not washable. Clean it at the same time as the G3 class filters by
vacuuming it with a brush nozzle. When cleaning, be careful no to break filter material.
To ensure good supply air quality, replace the filter preferably every year, and at least every two years
depending on local air quality.
It is recommended to replace filters in autumn. This way the filters
stay cleaner through the winter and can effectively filter off dust in the following spring.
In connection with the cleaning of the filters, it is also advisable to check the cleanliness
of the heat recovery cell (C) every two years or so. In this case the lower door must also
be removed. Pull the cell out of the unit by first removing the clamping screws from the
upper weather strip of the cell. If the cell is contaminated, soak it in a solution of water and
washing-up liquid. Rinse the cell clean with a jet of water. When all the water has drained
from between the laminas, push the cell back so that the sealings next to the sliding surfaces
are in place and the "up" sticker at the end of the cell points to the corner next to the upper
support.
