Make sure exhaust and fresh air supply hoods are not
blocked or restricted by leaves, grass, or snow. In winter, it
is especially important to make sure snow is not blocking
the hoods or that frost has not built up on the wire mesh
(bird screen).

The standard filters equipped with your HRV are removable
and washable.
a)  simply open access door and slide core out
b)  remove filter clips
c)  once clips are removed filters can be taken off the core

to be rinsed with water or a combination of mild soap
and water. Do not clean in the dishwasher

d)  to re-assemble, place clean filter(s) (wet or dry) back

into their positions against the core and return clips to
their original position

e)  slide core back into its’ original position

a)  open access door.
b)  carefully grip ends of core and pull evenly outward.

Core may be snug, but will slide out of the channel

c)  once removed from the cabinet remove filters

approximately 1/4” (6mm) followed by the other side

The duct work running to and from the HRV may 
accumulate dirt. Wipe and vacuum the duct once every
year. You may wish to contact a Heating/Ventilation 
company to do this.

Wipe down the inside of the cabinet with a damp cloth to
remove dirt, bugs and debris that may be present.

Fans may accumulate dirt causing an imbalance and/or 
excessive vibration of the HRV. A reduction in the air flow
may also occur. In new construction this may result within
the first year due to heavy dust and may occur periodically
after that over time depending on the outdoor conditions.

• remove the core
• remove ducting (metal and/or flexible insulated type)

from the red and/or blue ports which are connected
immediately inline with the fan assembly

cleaner, and insert first 

(a) through the large opening of the fan 

assembly and then 

(b) through the smaller opening in the end 

of the fan assembly.
