For residential use only
Before installation careful consideration must be given to how this system will operate if connected to any other piece of mechanical
equipment, i.e., a forced air furnace or air handler operating at a higher static pressure. After installation, the compatibility of the two pieces of
equipment must be conrmed by measuring the airow of the Heat Recovery Ventilator using the balancing procedure found in this manual.
It is always important to assess how the operation of any HRV may interact with vented combustion equipment (i.e., Gas Furnaces, Oil
Furnaces, Wood Stoves, etc.)

Products are designed and manufactured to provide reliable performance, but they are not guaranteed to be 100% free of defects.
Even reliable products will experience occasional failures, and this possibility should be recognized by the user. If these products are
used in a life support ventilation system where failure could result in loss or injury, the user should provide adequate back-up ventilation,
supplementary natural ventilation or failure alarm system, or acknowledge willingness to accept the risk of such loss or injury.
Your ventilation system should be installed in accordance with the local building code that is in effect, in absence of such requirements, it
is recommenced to check with local authorities having jurisdiction in your area prior to installing this product.
The MERV8 supply lter provided with the unit is intended for areas that it is required. In most cases the MERV8 supply lter is not
required and it becomes optional at the home owner’s discretion. Installing the MERV8 supply lter or other MERV lter options will affect
the maximum airow of the unit, please refer to product documentation for more information.
Technical data was obtained from published results of test relating to CSA C439 Standards. This data was optained without the use of
the MERV8 supply lter.
This product earned the ENERGY STAR® by meeting strict energy efciency guidelines set by Natural Resources Canada and the US EPA. This product meets ENERGY STAR
requirements only when used in Canada.
To ensure quiet operation of the ENERGY STAR certied H/ERV, each product model must be installed using sound attenuation techniques appropriate for the installation.
The way your heat/energy-recovery ventilator is installed can make a signicant 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 simplied installation that operates your furnace air handler for room-to-room
ventilation, an electrically efcient furnace that has an electronically commutated (EC) variable speed blower motor will minimize your electrical energy consumption and operating
cost.
Installation of a user-accessible control with your product model will improve comfort and may signicantly reduce the product model’s energy use.
