3. INSTALL THE UNIT
3.1 LOCATING AND MOUNTING THE UNIT
Choose an appropriate location for the unit, far from the areas of the house
where peace and quiet are desired.
• So as to provide easy access for filter maintenance (sometimes, by
installing the unit upside down, it becomes easier to get to the filter).
• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated flexible
ducts to and from the unit.
• Away from hot chimneys and other fire hazards.
• Allow for a power source (standard 3-prong grounding outlet).
