USE OF VENTILATION
OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
In buildings with dwelling-specific ventilation the resi-
dent can have an impact on the power of ventilation.
Adjustment takes place according to use situation at the
ventilation power controller, which is situated either in
the cooker hood or in a separate control centre.
Normal operation (position 2 or 3)
Ventilation has to be continuous: the air volume of the
dwelling has to be changed at least every two hours.
"Away" operation (position 1)
When the dwelling is empty, ventilation can be lowered
from the normal operation position unless it puts the
structures or the ventilation system in danger.
Boost operation (positions 3 and 4)
Cooking, taking a sauna bath, washing, drying of
clothes, use of toilet, having guests, overheat or a simi-
lar situation may cause a need for more powerful venti-
lation than normally. This can be implemented by boos-
ting ventilation on the whole or for individual rooms. As
an example, the damper of the cooker hood is kept
open during cooking, but at other times it is shut or in
the minimum position.
Cooker hood operating controls
The cooker hood operates in the dwelling as a local
extraction valve of the cooker, as a general
extraction valve in the kitchen and as the adjustment
device for the ventilation system.
NOTE!
In order to produce a sufficient
exchange of air, follow the venti-
lation plan that defines the posi-
tion of the controller in a normal
living situation.
• Boosts the capacity to capture
cooking odours.
• Cooking on a cooker or in the oven.
• Unusual load situation in the kitchen
(such as using heavy detergents
or a large number of guests).

USE OF COOKER HOOD
• SLIM-LINE cooker hood is equipped with a
withdrawable glass. It is recommended to hold the
edging strips of the glass when pulling the glass
out and pushing it in.
• In boosted cooker hood operation situations, such
as during cooking, it is recommended to pull the
glass out to the maximum position. This increases
the capacity of the hood to capture cooking
odours.
• In other situations, such as during basic ventilation,
the glass can be pushed in to the minimum
position.
Closing ventilation in the dwelling also prevents the supply of pure outdoor air into the dwelling as well as the taking out of dirty air. Impurities coming from
people, structures and the earth, such as carbon dioxide, humidity, smells, formaldehyde, dust and radon, quickly spoil room air and cause health damage.
Excessive humidity may destroy structures and cause mould and fungal growth. Because of this the building regulations require that ventilation is in operation all
the time and that its power is regulated according to the needs of the user.

Changing lamps
Removing and cleaning grease filter
• Pull the glass of the cooker hood out to the
max. position.
• Turn the quick fasteners on the bottom plate
of the hood open (1).
• Turn the bottom plate to the lower position.
• Remove the grease filter from its holder (2).
• Wash the filter at least 1 to 2 times a month
with warm water and detergent, manually or
in a dishwasher.
• When the cooker is used a lot, wash the filter
sufficiently often.
• Pull the glass of the cooker hood out to the
max. position.
• Remove the protective glass of the lamp by
moving it to the left (3).
• Remove the lamp by pulling it to the left (4).
• Lamp type fluorescent lamp PL (11 W).
NOTE! Neglecting the instructions given for cleaning
the grease filter may cause a fire risk.
Also take care of the external tidiness of the
cooker hood. Detergents meant for the cleaning
of stove enamelled and plastic surfaces are
suitable for the cleaning.
In order to ensure a sufficient extract air volume,
take care of the cleanliness of the grease filter.
Clean the grease filter often enough by removing it
and washing it carefully.

PTXP MC COOKER HOOD
The cooker hood is fastened with the fastening supplies in the package.
1. Fasten the fastening brackets on the back edge and sides of the cooker hood
to the hood (Figure 1).
2. Lift the cooker hood in place and fasten the fastening brackets on the back
edge to the wall (Figure 2). The fastening screws in the accessory bag are
suitable for wooden, chipboard, concrete and masonry walls. When
fastening on other surfaces, use appropriate fixing accessories.
3. Fasten the fastening bracket on the side to the cupboard (Figure 3).
4. Connect the hood to the extract air ductwork of the ventilation system by
using a ø 125 mm spiral duct. Make sure that the connection is tight.
Make sure that the ductwork is fire resistant.
The cooker hood must not be connected to a flue which is used for extracting
combustion gases from appliances running on other sources of energy than
electricity.
The regulations by authorities covering how extract air must be conducted have to
be taken into account.
A sufficient supply of fresh air into a room has to be arranged if the cooker hood
and a fire place, for instance, are used simultaneously.

Put the speed knob to position 1 and detach the
knob with a screwdriver or similar.
There are adjustment and measurement holes
below the knob.
Measure voltage at the - and S contacts,
adjust speed 1 for instance at potentiometer 1.
Put the knob back in place, turn the knob to the
following speed position and detach the knob
again.
Measure voltage at the - and S contacts, adjust
speed 2 at potentiometer 2, and so on.
You can also carry out the measurement at the
terminal block, in locations shown in the electrical
diagram.

Indicator light
The indicator light (A) shown in Figure 1 is lit when the MC ventilation unit
controlled by the hood is operating. If the indicator light blinks at one-
second intervals, the ventilation unit reminds you of the need for
maintenance. The reminder is shown every six months. The maintenance
reminder is reset when the cover of the ventilation unit is opened.
Explanations for other cases where the indicator light blinks in fault
situations are given in the instructions of the ventilation unit.
The indicator light is not in use if the cooker hood is used to control roof
fans or other ventilation unit or if the indicator light is not connected to the
ventilation unit.
Adjustment of fan speeds
A low signal voltage comes to the controller, which means that the
adjustment can be made when the controller is connected and the
ventilation unit is in operation.
• The adjustment is conducted in the four holes below the controller
knob (Figure 2) one speed at a time, at the potentiometer
corresponding to each speed.
• The voltage adjusted can be measured at the measuring points found
below the knob (markings S and -) or on the terminal block below a
black protective casing (markings S and –, see Figure 6) with a
multimeter direct-current voltage measurement. The adjustment range
is ~2...11.2 V.
• Control voltage (air flow) rises when the potentiometer is turned
clockwise. Preset voltages are as follows: 2.5 V, 5 V, 7.5 V
and 10 V.
Note! Do not set control voltage so low that the fan does not start
(circa 1.5 V).
Sample adjustment of air flows:
Basic ventilation is adjusted at speed 2.
• Set the controller at speed 2 and measure air flows at the valves.
• If the total air flow is too low, set the control voltage higher at
potentiometer 2.
• If the total air flow is too high, set the control voltage lower at
potentiometer 2. Do not throttle the air flow unnecessarily with
valves!
• The balance between supply and extract air flows in the Vallox MC
ventilation unit can be adjusted with the potentiometer inside the unit.
Do not change this balance during measurements carried out at other
speeds.
• Adjust the away air flows correspondingly at speed 1
(potentiometer 1).
• Adjust the boost air flows correspondingly at speed 3
(potentiometer 3).
• You can usually leave speed 4 at full power.
Finally measure voltage at all speeds at the measurement pins and enter
them in the measurement record. In a terraced house, for instance, you can
use voltage measurement to copy the measurement in the first dwelling to
other similar dwellings.
