1.0 User Information

• HR204

Important:The HR204 is not suitable for

installation above any cooking

appliance.

The HR204 is a mechanical ventilation

with heat recovery (MVHR) unit.The unit

provides continuous extraction of stale air

from the dwelling typically from the

bathroom and from the kitchen.The stale

air passes through the heat exchanger

before being ducted to outside.

Fresh air from the outside is continuously

drawn into the unit and passed through a

filter and then into the heat exchanger. In

the heat exchanger the fresh air is pre-

warmed and ducted into the dwelling

typically to living rooms/ bedrooms.

• HR205

The HR205 is a mechanical ventilation

with heat recovery (MVHR) unit, designed

solely to operate with the Vent-Axia telescopic

cooker hood.The unit provides continuous

extraction of stale air from the dwelling

typically from the bathroom and the

kitchen.The stale air passes through the

heat exchanger before being ducted to

outside.

Fresh air from the outside is continuously

drawn into the unit, passed through a filter

and then into the heat exchanger. In the

heat exchanger the fresh air is pre-

warmed and ducted into the dwelling

typically to living rooms/ bedrooms.

When the telescopic hood is extended the

MVHR unit switches automatically to

boost.The hood draws steam and fumes

from cooking through metal filters and

direct to outside.

Important:The cooker hood must

always be fully opened when the cooker

/hob is in use.

Warning: Do not flambé under the

cooker hood

1.0 User Information

Cleaning the Unit

Warning: Disconnect from mains electrical

supply before cleaning any components.

regular cleaning of the air filters and heat

exchanger is required.

Warning: Failure to clean the cooker hood

and its filters as described below will lead

to a fire risk.

The cooker hood and filters should be

checked and cleaned every 3 months.

1. Lift off the front door panel by releasing the

two hand screws and lifting upwards.

2. Note how the heat exchanger is fitted and by

using the plastic strap pull forwards to remove.

3. If necessary the heat exchanger can be

washed in warm water using a mild detergent.

Take care not to damage the fins.Re-assemble

in reverse order after thoroughly drying.

1.2 Air Inlet Filter - HR204 & HR205

Fig. 4

1. Lift off the front door panel by releasing the

two hand screws and lifting upwards.

2. Remove the air inlet filter by pulling forwards.

4.0 Appliance Operation

•HR204

When the electricity is switched on the external

controls (humidstat or normal/boost switch)

supply electricity to the fans.

On normal running the fans run at the voltage

set during commissioning (80,100,120,140 or

160 volts).

Air is then moved through the unit (see Fig 8) If

the fans become jammed then a thermal trip in

the fan senses temperature rise and breaks the

electrical supply to the motor. This can only be

reset by disconnecting from the mains

supply.

If the external controls call for boost operation

the fans automatically run at 230 volts and

increase the air movement of both exhaust and

inlet air.

•HR205

When the electricity is switched on the unit

checks for continuity across the overheat

thermostat.

The fans then run at the voltage set during

commissioning (80,100,120,140 or 160 volts).

Air is then moved through the unit (see Fig 8) If

the fans become jammed then a thermal trip in

the fan senses temperature rise and breaks the

electrical supply to the motor. This can only be

reset by disconnecting from the mains

supply.

If the overheat thermostat senses an elevated

rise in temperature from the cooker/hob it breaks

the electrical supply to the fans.The overheat

thermostat can only be reset by

disconnecting the mains supply to the unit.

In the event of a serious fire at the hob (e.g. chip

pan fire) the in built fire damper will operate

sealing the clean air side of the unit from the fire.
