Choose an appropriate location for the unit:
• Within an area of the house where the
ambient temperature is kept between 50°F and 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 flexible 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 fire 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 significant 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 simplified installation that operates your furnace air handler for room-to-room ventilation, an electrically efficient 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 significantly reduce the product
model’s energy use.
CAUTION
Make sure that no piece of mineral wool will enter in the unit during installation. Otherwise, this could reduce airflow and generate
vibrations and noise in the unit.
