- Provides a free cross-sectional area of 154 cm² for efficient airflow.
- Suitable for various indoor environments including bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens.
Installation Instructions
Proper installation is crucial for the effective operation of the ventilation grille. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Door: Ensure the door leaf has a minimum thickness of 30 mm.
- Mark the Cut-out: Carefully mark the area for the door cut-out. For the MLK 30 model, the required cut-out dimensions are 275 mm x 105 mm (width x height).
- Cut the Opening: Using appropriate tools, create the opening in the door according to the marked dimensions. Ensure clean and precise edges.
- Insert the Grille: Position one half of the ventilation grille into the prepared opening from one side of the door.
- Secure the Grille: Insert the second half of the grille from the opposite side of the door, aligning it with the first half. The two parts are designed to interlock or snap together, securing the grille firmly in place within the door opening.
- Final Check: Verify that the grille is securely mounted and that there are no obstructions to airflow.
The external dimensions of the installed grille will be approximately 295 mm x 120 mm.
Operation
The Maico MLK 30 Door Ventilation Grille operates passively, allowing air to pass through its slats. No electrical connection or manual adjustment is required. Ensure the grille remains unobstructed to maintain optimal airflow between rooms.
Maintenance
To ensure continued efficient operation and appearance, periodic cleaning is recommended:
- Cleaning Frequency: Clean the grille as needed, or at least every six months, depending on the environment.
- Cleaning Method: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution to wipe down the surfaces of the grille.
- Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or a soft brush to remove dust and debris from between the slats.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or solvents, as these can damage the plastic finish.
Troubleshooting
If you experience reduced airflow or notice issues with your ventilation grille, consider the following:
- Reduced Airflow: Check if the grille slats are blocked by dust, lint, or other debris. Clean the grille thoroughly as described in the Maintenance section.
- Grille Loose: If the grille feels loose in the door, ensure both halves are properly interlocked. Re-seat them if necessary.
- Damage: Inspect the grille for any physical damage. If the grille is cracked or broken, it may need to be replaced to maintain proper function and appearance.
