5.0 Maintenance
1) The motors are factory lubricated for life. Lubricating the bearings is not
recommended.
2) The heat recovery core must be handled with care. We recommend that
it be washed once a year, following the season of most intense use, in
order to insure maximum efficiency of the plastic partitions.
Allow the heat recovery core to soak for 3 hours in a solution of warm
water and mild soap. Rinse under a heavy stream of water.
3) The air filters are washable. Under normal conditions, we recommend that
they be washed every 3 months.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the heaviest portion of accumulated dust.
Then wash in hot water.
4) Regularly check the screen on the exterior intake hood and clean when
necessary. Also check during very cold weather because ice may grow
on the screen located at the exterior intake hood.

Risk of electric shock. Before performing any maintenance or
servicing, always disconnect the unit from its power source.
CAUTION
Because the unit is suspended, two people are recommended to
remove or install the heat recovery core.
Do not hold the heat recovery core using its plastic extrusions as handles.
CAUTION
Hot water and a strong detergent will damage the heat recovery core.
