VENTILATION CONTROL
Apartment-specific ventilation units allow residents to
adjust the ventilation efficiency. 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
Position of the damper
When turned to the left, the damper is in the closed
position: In normal circumstances, the damper must be
closed,
which boosts the extract air flow from other premises.
When turned to the right, the damper is in the open
position
:
used when the extract air flow needs to be boosted,
e.g., in the following situations:
• when the cooker top or the oven is used for cooking
• when the load in the kitchen is exceptional e.g. due
to the use of strong detergents or the presence of a
large number of people.

1. Away mode (position 1).
The ventilation efficiency can be temporarily reduced
when the apartment is unoccupied.
2. Normal mode (position 2 or 3)
Ventilation must be continuous, i.e. the air inside the
building must be replaced at least once every two
hours.
3. Boost mode (positions 3-4)
Cooking, sauna, bathing, drying of clothes, excessive
heat, and other similar situations can require that
ventilation be increased from the standard setting. In
such a situation, ventilation must be increased. This
is done by boosting the ventilation either in general
or space-specifically. For example, the damper of
the cooker hood is kept open during cooking but is
closed or in the minimum position at other times.

WARNING
The unit is not intended for use
by children under 8 or by persons
with reduced sensory, physical or
mental capabilities, or whose lack
of knowledge and experience
do not ensure safe operation of
the unit. Such persons can use
the unit under supervision, or
by following the instructions of
someone who is responsible for
their safety. Do not let children
play with the unit or to clean or
maintain it without supervision.
WARNING
If the ventilation of the apartment
is turned off, the entry of
fresh replacement air into the
apartment and the extraction
of used air from the apartment
are prevented. Impurities, such
as carbon dioxide, humidity,
smells, formaldehyde, dust, and
radon, which come from people,
structures, and the soil will
quickly contaminate the room air
and are harmful to the health of
people. Excessive humidity may
damage the structures of the
building and result in mould and
fungal growth. For this reason,
building regulations require that
ventilation be turned on at all
times and that its efficiency is
adjusted based on the needs of
the user.
CAUTION
• Neglecting the cleaning of
the grease filter can cause a
fire hazard.
• The outer surfaces of the
hood can become hot when
the cooker or the oven is
turned on.
• Flaming is forbidden
underneath the cooker hood.
• Always follow the instructions
provided on adjusting the
efficiency of ventilation.
• Enable a sufficient supply
air flow into the room if
the cooker hood and non-
electric devices are used
simultaneously.
