CLEANING THE HEAT RECOVERY CELL
(USER)
Check that the heat recovery cell is clean roughly once a year,
or whenever the filters are being replaced. Clean by washing as
required.
To check and clean the heat recovery cell:
1. Disconnect the ventilation unit from the mains electricity supply.
2. Open door of the Vallox ventilation unit by undoing the finger
screws.
3. Lift the door off.
CAUTION
The door is heavy.
4. Remove the sealing strip (E) above the HR cell in the direction of
the arrow.
5. Remove the extract air filter (C).
6. Lift and pull the HR cell (D) out of the unit.
7. If the cell is dirty, clean it by immersing it in warm water, to which
a small amount of a mild detergent has been added.
8. Rinse the cell clean with a water spray. Do not use a high-
pressure cleaner.
9. When all the water has drained from between the layers,
reassemble the ventilation unit as follows:
10. Ensure that the lower support (F) is in place between the knobs
at the bottom of the unit.
11. Push the heat recovery cell in place.
12. Push the sealing strip (E) in place so that the strip is supported by
the corner bracket (G) at the rear.

14. Close the door. Ensure that the safety switch catch of the door is
touching the safety switch.

IMPORTANT
Handle the cell carefully! For
example, do not lift the cell by
the layers. The cell layers are
very thin and easily damaged.

If the unit has an enthalpy cell,
it must not be washed. Only
aluminium or plastic cells can
be washed.
