9 Maintenance 9.1 Cleaning filter The maintenance for the user is limited to the periodic cleaning or replacement of the filters. The filter only has to be cleaned if this is indicated on the display (the filter symbol is shown here) or, if a multiple switch with filter indication has been installed and the red LED of the switch is on.
Installer maintenance includes cleaning the heat exchanger and fans. Dependent on the conditions, this must done about once every three years. Remove the power supply by pulling out the plug. Open the filter door. Remove the two filters. Remove the front cover. Flair 325 (Plus) 615674-A Brink / 29...
