Energy Core Ventilator
Energy Recovery Core
Fiber Membrane
Frequency of cleaning -
A regular cleaning cycle must
be established for the energy recovery core in order to
maintain optimum sensible and latent energy transfer.
In reasonably clean environments such as schools,
offices or retail stores, the energy recovery core
should be inspected annually and cleaned as needed.
Failure to follow a regular cleaning cycle for the energy
recovery core can result in significant energy transfer
performance losses.
Accessing the energy recovery core -
Disconnect the
power to the unit. Remove access panel.
Removing the energy recovery core -
Once the
energy core access doors are removed, the core can be
pulled from the housing. To replace the core, reverse the
procedure.
Recommended cleaning procedure -
Once the core
is removed, gently vacuum the
surfaces of the core to remove
the dirt and debris that has
accumulated.

the energy recovery core should be inspected annually
and cleaned as needed. Failure to follow a regular
cleaning cycle for the energy recovery core can result in

be pulled from the housing. To replace the core, reverse
the procedure.
Recommended cleaning procedure -
Once the core
is removed, ensure that the plates
are orientated in a way for proper
draining. Use low pressure tap
water to clean the core. If the
core is extremely dirty, use a mild
detergent such as Dawn
®
in a
solution no more than 1:100 parts
soap to water.
Routine Maintenance
WARNING
Do not use a high pressure water source (pressure
washer) or harsh, corrosive detergents. This will
result in a damaged core and will not be covered by
the warranty.
WARNING
Energy core shall not be subjected to temperatures
greater than 140ºF. This will result in a damaged core
and will not be covered by warranty.
