READING THIS ENTIRE MANUAL

APPLICATION WARNING!!

CAUTION
Before installation, consideration must be given to how
this system will operate if connected to any other piece of
mechanical equipment, i.e. a forced air furnace or air
handler, operating at a higher static. After installation, the
compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be
confirmed by measuring the airflow’s of the Heat
Recovery Ventilator (HRV) using the balancing procedure
found in this manual.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any
Heat Recovery Ventilator may interact with vented com-
bustion equipment.NEVER install a Heat Recovery
Ventilator in a situation where its’ normal operation
(including defrost function), lack of operation or partial
failure may result in the back drafting or improper func-
tioning of vented combustion equipment!
