VENTILATOR
(ERV)
Your ERV is designed
to operate
as an integral
part of your total heating
and cooling
system.
Low Exchange
Mode---If
the relative
humidity
inside the building is lower than selected, air exchange
would occur with the outside
at high speed.
If the relative humidity
level inside
the building is higher than selected,
air exchange
would occur with outside
at low
speed.
This
ensures
continuous
air exchange
for constant
air quality.
Intermittent
Mode---If
the relative humidity
inside the building is higher than selected,
no air exchange
would occur, and the system
would turn off. If the relative humidity
inside the building is lower than selected,
air exchange
would occur with outside
at high speed.
This mode
is ideal
for maintaining
the proper
humidity
level when the continuous
mode cannot.

careful when handling parts or reaching into the uniL
1. The motors
are factory
lubricated
for life. Lubricating
the bearings
is not recommended.
2. The core should
be vacuumed
every three months
to remove dust that would inhibit the energy transfer. Do not use water.
The
core should
only be serviced
when
the ouldoor
temperature
is between
60°F(16°C)
and 75°F(24°C)
and dry.
NOTE:
If the edges of the core are soft, do not try to service the core. The air passages
can be damaged
and / or closed
off by
handling
it or trying
to remove
it.
3. A dirty air filter will cause excessive
strain on the blower motor. The filters in your ERV are washable,
and should
be cleaned
every
3 months.
Use a vacuum
cleaner
to remove
the heaviest
portion
of accumulated
dust, then wash in lukewarm
water.
NOTE:
Do NOT clean these filters in a dishwasher
or dry them with heating
appliances
as they will be permanently
damaged.
Use lukewarm
water
to clean filters.
Replace
filters only when they are completely
dry.
