INSTALLER INFORMATION
IMPORTANT:
Ducting has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and
energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible
for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than
recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and
inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve
their rated air flow.
NOTE:
Make sure that the outdoor intake hood is easily accessible for
annual maintenance. If located above the first floor, place it close to a
window or balcony to allow ease of access.
USER INFORMATION
Optional Wall Control
This unit can be connected to the supply fan wall control.
• Upon startup, the wall control LED will light up during the boot
sequence, and remain ON as the unit starts to operate after the boot
sequence. Press the push button to turn the unit OFF; the wall control
LED will also turn OFF.
• When it is time to perform the filter maintenance, the wall control
LED will blink slowly (2 seconds ON, 2 seconds OFF). After the filter
maintenance has been performed, press and hold the push button for 5
seconds to reset the filter maintenance reminder.
• Refer to your installer for any other blinking pattern.
User Servicing Instructions
• The metal filter included with this unit should be cleaned every 6
months using water and a mild soap. To remove the filter(s), open the
door, release the filter retaining clip and pull filter(s) out. Allow the
filter to dry completely before putting it back in the unit; when
reinserting it in the unit, make sure that it is standing straight.
• Inspect the outdoor air intake at least once a year.
• During the first year of operation, it is recommended to inspect your
unit at a higher frequency, especially if you live near a highway or in
an area where there is a lot of construction work, generating lots of
dust. Your filter(s) may need more frequent cleaning or replacement in
these types of environments.
• Replace the optional MERV filter at least once a year; do not attempt
to clean and reuse the optional MERV filter.
• These recommendations may change according to the environmental
conditions in your area.
