Image 1: ALDES EasyHome Hygro VMC Kit components. This image displays the central ventilation unit with multiple duct connections, along with three distinct humidity-controlled exhaust vents designed for different room types.

• 1 x ALDES EasyHome Hygro Central Ventilation Unit
• Humidity-controlled exhaust vents (quantity and types may vary based on specific kit configuration, typically including kitchen, bathroom, and toilet vents)
• Mounting accessories (screws, plugs)
• Manual d'instruccions (aquest document)

4. Configuració i instal·lació

The installation process involves mounting the central unit, connecting the ductwork, installing the exhaust vents, and making electrical connections.

4.1. Central Unit Mounting

1. Choose a suitable location for the central unit, typically in an attic, utility room, or false ceiling, ensuring easy access for maintenance.
2. Mount the unit securely to a solid structure using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is level to prevent vibration and noise.

4.2. Ductwork Connection

1. Connect the main exhaust duct from the central unit to the outside.
2. Connect the individual ducts from the humidity-controlled vents (kitchen, bathroom, toilet) to the corresponding inlets on the central unit.
3. Ensure all duct connections are airtight using appropriate clamps and sealing tape to prevent air leaks and maintain system efficiency.
4. Minimize bends and kinks in the ductwork to reduce airflow resistance.

4.3. Exhaust Vent Installation

1. Install the humidity-controlled exhaust vents in the designated wet rooms (kitchen, bathrooms, toilets).
2. Ensure the vents are securely fixed to the wall or ceiling and connected to their respective ducts.
3. The humidity sensors on the vents automatically adjust airflow based on room humidity.

4.4. Connexió elèctrica

1. Before making any electrical connections, ensure the main power supply is disconnected.
2. Connect the central unit to the main electrical supply (220V) according to the wiring diagram provided with the product and local electrical regulations.
3. The unit can be directly wired or connected via a switch, depending on the desired control method.
4. Once all connections are made, restore power and test the system.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The ALDES EasyHome Hygro VMC system operates automatically once installed and powered on.

• Control automàtic d'humitat: The system continuously monitors humidity levels in the wet rooms via the integrated sensors in the exhaust vents. When humidity rises (e.g., during a shower or cooking), the vents automatically open further to increase airflow and extract moist air more rapidly. As humidity decreases, the vents close partially to reduce airflow, optimizing energy consumption.
• Continuous Ventilation: The central unit maintains a minimum continuous airflow to ensure constant air renewal throughout the dwelling, even when humidity levels are low.
• Manual Boost (if applicable): Some kitchen vents may include a manual boost function (e.g., a pull cord or switch) to temporarily increase airflow for intense cooking odors or steam. Refer to the specific vent instructions for details.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VMC system.

6.1. Exhaust Vents Cleaning (Every 6-12 months)

1. Disconnect power to the VMC unit before cleaning.
2. Carefully remove the cover of each exhaust vent.
3. Clean the vent grilles and the humidity sensor mechanism with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the vents in water.
4. Ensure the humidity sensor is free from dust and debris for accurate operation.
5. Reattach the vent covers securely.

6.2. Central Unit Inspection (Annually)

1. Disconnect power to the VMC unit.
2. Inspect the central unit for any visible dust accumulation. If accessible, gently vacuum any dust from the exterior.
3. Check duct connections for any signs of leaks or disconnections.
4. Ensure the fan operates smoothly and quietly when power is restored. If unusual noises are heard, consult a qualified technician.
