MAINTENANCE

6.1 MAINTENANCE AFTER 30 DAYS OPERATION

6.2 RECALIBRATION OF AIRFLOWS

After 30 days of unit operation, check/tighten all mounting and support hardware. Inspect 
filters for cleanliness. There is often construction dust collected during initial operation. If filters 
appear dirty, replace them. 

Whenever there is a reconfiguration of the heating system in a residence, to include changing 
damper positions, the fan speed potentiometers on the EV Premium should be re-calibrated for 
optimum performance. If the residence undergoes significant structural changes, such as an 
addition to the home, the EV Premium should also be re-calibrated. If optional MERV 13 filters 
are installed, recalibration is also required.

6.3 DOOR REMOVAL

The hinged door is held in place by two separable hinges on one edge and two security latches 
on the other edge. The separable hinges have a spring-loaded detent to prevent accidental 
separation. To remove the door, first disconnect power to the unit. Unlatch and open the door 
and then strike the edge of the door, pushing the door toward the OA/EA side of the unit.

The enthalpic core should be vacuumed annually. Remove the hinged access door by sliding it 
horizontally on its pin hinges and then remove the filters for access to the core. Use a soft-
bristled nozzle on a good vacuum and carefully vacuum the inlet faces of the core. 
Ducts should be inspected annually. Ensure all ducts and joints are free from damage, 
contaminants, or leaks in order for the system to behave properly.
