-Genera Information
The Vectaire EVO250DC heat recovery system provides who e house
mechanica venti ation to iving areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms .
It extracts sta e, contaminated air from kitchens, uti ity rooms and bath-
rooms, and uses the heat recovered from this air to warm fresh, incom-
ing air to create a f ow of fresh air throughout the dwe ing. The extract
and intake air streams are separated to avoid contamination.

the void above the cei ing in an apartment (but may be insta ed in a cup-
board) and wi be connected by hidden ductwork to vents sited in the
cei ings of the rooms which require venti ation. Each unit is commis-
sioned individua y a owing its performance to be tai ored to suit the per-
formance required. There wi be a faci ity to boost the extraction rate
when desired (e.g when cooking or bathing or po utant eve s rise). This
may be done automatica y or manua y.
The system is designed to run continuous y and shou d NOT be switched off except for maintenance or fi ter
rep acement. It is important to fo ow the advice in this user manua and correct y insta and maintain the
