Operating Instructions

The ELICENT Rec Duo 150 Plus RC features intelligent control for optimal air quality and energy efficiency.

• Smart Control: The unit operates in a 24-hour automatic mode with heat recovery (push-pull) at one of two adjustable fixed speeds.
• Timer Function: In single extraction mode, a timer function is available for controlled operation.
• Intelligent Humidity Control: The unit is equipped with a humidistat. When the detected humidity exceeds a set threshold, the unit gradually increases the push-pull operation speed proportionally to the humidity level. If high humidity persists, it transitions to forced expulsion mode until the humidity is dispersed.
• Remote Control: All functions can be conveniently managed using the included remote control. Refer to the remote control diagram for button functions.
• Free-Cooling Function: The unit also includes a free-cooling function for enhanced comfort during suitable conditions.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your ELICENT Rec Duo 150 Plus RC unit ensures optimal performance and air quality.

• Filter Cleaning/Replacement: The unit uses Class G3 polypropylene filters for air filtering during both input and extraction. These filters are positioned before the heat exchanger to ensure optimal air cleanliness.
• The filters are designed to be easily removable, allowing for quick replacement or washing when needed. It is recommended to inspect and clean the filters periodically based on usage and environmental conditions.
• General Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
