Choose an appropriate location for the unit:
• Within an area of the house where the
ambient temperature is kept between 10°C (50°F) and 65°C (149°F);
• Away from living areas (dining room, living room, bedroom), if possible;
• So as to provide easy access to the interior cabinet for maintenance, and to the control panel on the side of the unit;
• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated
fl
exible ducts to and from the unit;
• HRV units only: close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect run-off;
• Away from hot chimneys, electrical panel and other
fi
re hazards;
• Within 6 feet of a power source (standard outlet).
Consumer Information
A. To ensure quiet operation of the H/ERV, each product model must be installed using sound attenuation techniques
appropriate for the installation.
B. The way your heat/energy-recovery ventilator is installed can make a signi
fi
cant difference to the electrical energy
you use. To minimize the electricity use of the heat/energy-recovery ventilator, a stand-alone fully ducted installation is
recommended. If you choose a simpli
fi
ed installation that operates your furnace air handler for room-to-room ventilation,
an electrically ef
fi
cient furnace that has an electronically commutated (EC) variable speed blower motor will minimize
your electrical energy consumption and operating cost.
C. Installation of a user-accessible control with your product model will improve comfort and may signi
fi
cantly reduce the
product model’s energy use.
Make sure that no piece of mineral wool will enter in the unit during installation. Otherwise, this could reduce
air
fl
ow and generate vibrations and noise in the unit.
