Fig. 41: Removing the heat exchanger 7. Clean the heat exchanger. In doing so, proceed as follows: Dip the heat exchanger several times in warm water (max. 40 °C). • • Then rinse off the heat exchanger thoroughly with warm tap water (max. 40 °C). Do not use aggressive or dissolving cleaning agents! In order to dry it, position the heat exchanger such that residual water can run out of the openings.
Swapping the heat exchanger type The FOCUS unit can be equipped and operated with two different types of heat exchanger: • Cross-counterflow heat exchanger made from plastic (standard heat exchanger) • Cross-counterflow enthalpy exchanger (membrane moisture heat exchanger) 1. Perform work steps 1 to 6 as described in 5.7.1. 2.
Error displays with TFT control panel On the TFT control panel, errors are displayed by plain text error messages. The last three occurred errors are registered with their date and time according to the event in the main menu Information/last messages. In addition to this message, a yellow warning triangle blinks on the top right edge of the screen.
