1. Xvent multipoint ventilation units Xvent 340 range T Information on Maintenance and Operation For the Householder Your home has been fitted with a mechanical ventilation system The system should consist of a central mechanical extract fan ducting an external exhaust and extract valves in all the wet rooms e g the kitchen bathroom and toilet The proper working of the system will provide a healthy indoor atmosphere and will help eliminate condensation The Xvent 340 Xvent 340DC system is or can be fitted with a 3 position switch while the Xvent 340DCRE system is used in conjunction with a three speed wireless transmitter to set 3 different running speeds The high speed setting is a boost position for the extract of cooking smells or moisture laden air when this is in use it 1s advisable to open window vents or a window to provide replacement air The middle position would be the normal running position in a house with the low speed position as a background position if the house is not fully occupied In a smaller dwelling or flat the low speed position could be the normal running position with the middle position as a boost The fan is designed to run continuously 24 hours a day It is fitted with an energy efficient electric motor Maintenance In normal running the design of the fan attracts very little dirt It may be advisable to have the unit inspected by your installer once every 4 or 5 years and cleaned if necessary2.
