Maintenance UK
It is a legal requirement, under regulation 9 of the COSHH
regulations that all local exhaust ventilation systems are
thoroughly examined and tested at least once every 14
months (typically carried out annually). The approved code
of practice recommends that a visual check should be
carried out at least once a week.
COSHH requires the annual inspection and testing to be
carried out by a competent person and specifies that
documentation results are recorded in a log.
Contact the seller for more information about inspection
and certification.
Maintenance General
User maintenance is limited to cleaning the unit and filter
replacement, only the manufacturers trained maintenance
technicians are authorised to carry out component testing
and replacement. Unauthorised work or the use of
unauthorised replacement filters may result in a potentially
dangerous situation and/or damage to the extractor unit
and will in
validate the manufacturer’s warranty.

user instructions
Replacing Filters
The BOFA extraction system that is connected to the
FireBOX will constantly monitor the condition of the system
filters. As the filters block the extraction unit will display this
(see extraction unit user manual for details) When the alarm
is given by the extraction unit the filter in the FireBOX
should be changed first.
A log of the changes should be maintained by the user.
The filters require attention when the display shows the
filter blocked icon/ filter output signal (if fitted) or when the
extractor no longer removes fume efficiently.
It is recommended that a spare set of filters are kept on site
to avoid prolonged unit unavailability. Part numbers for
replacement filters can be found on the filters fitted in your
system. Alternatively, refer to the spare parts table in this
manual.
To prevent overheating, units should not be run with a
blocked filter condition, or with dust obstruction of Inlets /
Outlets.
