For residential use only.

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING UNIT

Before installation careful 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 pressure. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of equipment must be confirmed by 
measuring the airflow of the Heat Recovery Ventilator using the balancing procedure found in this manual. 
It is always important to assess how the operation of any HRV may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e. 
Gas Furnaces, Oil Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.)

Products are designed and manufactured to provide reliable performance, but they are not guaranteed to be 100% 
free of defects. Even reliable products will experience occasional failures, and this possibility should be recognized 
by the user. If these products are used in a life support ventilation system where failure could result in loss or injury, 
the user should provide adequate back-up ventilation, supplementary natural ventilation or failure alarm system, or 
acknowledge willingness to accept the risk of such loss or injury.

Your ventilation system should be installed in accordance with the local building code that is in effect, in absence 
of such requirements, it is recommenced to check with local authorities having jurisdiction in your area prior to 
installing this product
