- The CERA-1 ventilation system is connected to a central system, which balances the supply air to and the extract air from the home in a controlled way.
The system is designed to run constantly and therefore the plug (4) may not be removed from the power socket (this could disturb the operation of the system).
- When the system is in Increased Mode, you may notice increased noise levels caused by the additional air fl owing through the ducts. This has no further impact on the operation
of the CERA-1 system.
