3. Operating Instructions
The Rec Duo 100 Mhy Silent offers intelligent control for optimal indoor air quality.
Operating Modes:
- 24-Hour Heat Recovery Mode: The unit continuously operates to recover heat from extracted air, transferring it to fresh incoming air. This mode helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while ensuring ventilation.
- Fixed Speed Options: During installation, one of two fixed speeds can be selected for continuous operation.
- Timer Mode (Air Extraction): Similar to the Rec Duo 100 Silent model, this mode allows for timed air extraction, useful for quick ventilation of specific areas like bathrooms.
- Humidity Control Mode: The unit automatically adjusts the extraction speed based on detected humidity levels. This ensures a comfortable environment by preventing excessive humidity buildup, making it suitable for use as a bathroom exhaust fan.
Control Interface:
Refer to the specific control panel or remote control provided with your unit for detailed instructions on switching between modes and adjusting settings. Typically, buttons or a dial will allow selection of desired operation.
