Maintenance instructions for Duco Ventilation systems

B.  Window ventilators

Window ventilators require little maintenance, but to enjoy year-round use of your window ventilators, optimum operation 
and healthy indoor air quality, we would advise the following�
•  Window ventilators can be cleaned very quickly and easily for optimum ventilation�
•  Failure to carry out these maintenance operations may result in the control malfunctioning or failing to operate at all�
•  You are strongly advised against the use of abrasives (e�g� sandpaper or scouring pads), pressure washers and harsh 

cleaners (e�g� solvents or ammonia)�

•  You will find a number of maintenance videos on the DUCO website (

www.duco.eu

)� 

B.1  Maintenance frequency

•  Check the window ventilators regularly (approximately once every 2 months) for fouling� You will need to clean the win-

dow ventilators in case of fouling�

 

»

Cleaning twice a year is sufficient in rural surroundings�

 

»

If you live in an urban environment, next to an industrial area or on the coast, you will need to clean your window 
ventilators 6 times a year�

•  Hinged or rotating parts need to be lubricated annually� Use a dry lubricant for this (Teflon spray)�
•  Window ventilators with fabric solar shading: As the manufacturer, we recommend regular technical check-ups on your 

system by the installer

 

»

Annually for non-residential buildings

 

»

Every 4 years for domestic solar shading

•  For electronically controlled window ventilators: Regularly inspect the wiring for damage� Changes to the electrical part 

may only be carried out following the manufacturer’s approval�
