Opening the windows

Summer
As a rule, you will not require heating in summer and thus no heat recovery via your HomeVent®comfort
ventilation unit. You can open doors and windows as you wish. However, bear in mind that pollen, insects
and dust can enter the house through open doors and windows.
Winter

comfort ventilation system. Valuable energy escapes through the windows. Your comfort ventilation system
provides a constant supply of fresh air for your living area.
Your comfort ventilation unit recovers both the heat and the moisture contained in the air. In winter, the fresh
air and thus also the air in your rooms contains less moisture than in summer. The moisture which is present
is recovered via your comfort ventilation unit.
Settings on the operator terminal
The operator terminal allows you to adjust your HomeVent®comfort ventilation system to suit your needs.
This manual contains a brief description of the operator terminal. A detailed operation manual was enclosed
with your operator terminal.
