injuries including possibility of death.

and/or its components.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
Make sure at all times that the outside hoods are free from any snow during the
winter season. It is important to check your unit during a big snow storm, so it
doesn’t draw any snow. If this is the case, please operate the unit in recirculation
mode, or OFF mode, for a few hours.
Do not use your HRV during construction or renovation of your house or when
sanding drywall. This type of dust may damage your system.
Since the electronic control system of the unit has a microprocessor
incorporated, it may not operate correctly because of the external noise or very
short power failure. If this happens, unplug the unit and wait approximately
10 seconds. Then, plug the unit in again.
CAUTION
When leaving the house for a long period of time (more than two weeks), a
responsible person should regularly check if the unit operates adequately. If
the ductwork runs through an unconditioned space (e.g.: attic), the unit must
operate continuously except when performing maintenance and/or repair. Also,
the ambient temperature of the house should never drop below 18°C (65°F). At
least once a year, the unit mechanical and electronic parts should be inspected
by qualified service personnel.
