If installing in a room containing a fuel burning device which has a non-balanced flue, it is the installers
responsibility to ensure that there is replacement air to prevent fumes being drawn down the flue when ventilator
is operating up to maximum extract. Refer to building regulations for specific requirements. Exhaust air must not
be discharged into a flue used for exhausting of fumes from appliances supplied with energy other that electric.
Requirements of all authorities concerned must be observed for exhaust air discharge and intake flow rates.
a)
Survey the property carefully and identify the best site for the ventilator. Condensation problems, dampness and
mould growth are stimulated by high levels of humidity, the source of which can be the bath/shower room,
laundry room, kitchen or possibly a damp wall.
Identify an area in the room with an outside wall which is clear of obstruction, both inside and out - check for
water and soil pipes, wiring and other obstructions before finalising your installation position.
b)
Indicate the position of the core drill hole on the inside wall. If possible, mark it’s position on the outside wall too.
See if they look right. Remember that the Heat Recovery Ventilator is unique in that it both extracts stale, damp air
and blows in warmed fresh air. Make sure that steam from your cooker/hob or appliance is not blown away
from the fan.
