CLEANING ENERGY RECOVERY WHEEL SEGMENTS
If the wheel appears excessively dirty, it should be cleaned to ensure maximum operating efficiency. Only
excessive buildup of foreign material needs to be removed.
DISCOLORATION AND STAINING OF ENERGY
RECOVERY WHEEL DOES NOT AFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE.
Thoroughly spray wheel matrix with household cleaner such as Fantastic™ or equivalent. Gently rinse with warm
water and using a soft brush remove any heavier accumulation. A detergent/water solution can also be used.
Avoid aggressive organic solvents, such as acetone. The energy recovery wheel segments can be soaked in the
above solution overnight for stubborn dirt or accumulation.
After cleaning is complete, shake the excess water from the wheel or segments. Dry wheel or segments before
placing them back into the cassette. Place wheel or segments back into cassette by reversing removal
procedures.
