Intended use
The appliance is designed as a mechanical ventilation unit with
central supply and extract air routing.
The appliance is intended for domestic use. It can be used safely
by untrained persons. The appliance can also be used in non-
domestic environments, e.g. in small businesses, as long as it is
used in the same way.
Observation of these instructions and of instructions for any ac-
cessories used is also part of the intended use of this appliance.
3.3
Foreseeable misuse
Any other use beyond that described shall be deemed to be out-
side the intended use.
The appliance is not designed for installation in the open air.

Safety instructions
Injury
– Only qualified contractors are permitted to carry out install-
ation, commissioning, maintenance and repair work on the
appliance.
– If you work on the appliance while it is still live, you may
get an electric shock. Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before working on it.
– If there is a radio or police announcement ordering win-
dows and doors to be kept closed, switch the "Enable fan"
parameter in the "Settings" menu to "Off". Once the risk has
passed, switch the "Enable fan" parameter back to "On". If
the fans are switched off for a long period, humidity protec-
tion cannot be guaranteed.
– Unsuitable spare parts and accessories may jeopardise user
and appliance safety. Always use original spare parts and
original accessories.
– Opening the casing while the appliance is in operation may
cause injury. Only operate the appliance with the casing
closed.
– Observe all country-specific fire prevention regulations and
requirements concerning the installation of ventilation sys-
tems. In Germany, these are particularly the building regu-
lation guideline on fire prevention requirements of ventila-
tion systems in its applicable version.
Property damage, consequential losses, environmental
pollution
– Polluted ambient air can damage the appliance. Protect the
appliance from dust and dirt during building work.
– Poor air quality can damage the appliance. Keep the appli-
ance installation site free from air contaminated with oil or
salt (chloride). Keep the installation site free from corrosive
and explosive substances. Avoid contaminating the installa-
tion site with dust, hairspray or substances containing
chlorine or ammonia.
– Changes in air flow rates may cause positive or negative
pressure in the rooms. If combustion equipment is operat-
ing at the same time, combustion exhaust gases can enter
the combustion equipment installation room. Never adjust
the settings of supply and extract air vents inside the rooms.
These have been set up by a qualified contractor during
commissioning.
3.5
Operation of the appliance in buildings with
combustion equipment (qualified contractors)
The term "combustion equipment" includes, for example, tiled
stoves, fireplaces and equipment with gas combustion.
Ventilation units can generate negative pressure in the dwell-
ing. If combustion equipment is operating at the same time,
combustion exhaust gases can enter the combustion equipment
installation room.
u It is therefore important to observe the following points
when operating a ventilation unit simultaneously with com-
bustion equipment.
The planning, installation and operation of the ventilation unit
and combustion equipment must be carried out in accordance
with national and regional regulations.
We recommend installing and regularly maintaining a carbon
monoxide detector in accordance with EN 50291 for operation of
any combustion equipment.
