FILTER SERVICE.
A Clean Filter Saves Money.
When the ERV provides fresh outdoor air into your home and exhausts indoor air to the outside, dust and dirt particles build up on the air filters. Excessive accumulation can block airflow, decreasing the ERV’s performance and increase energy usage. To maintain top performance be sure to clean or replace the ERV filters according to the instructions in this manual.
Clean filters every three months when the unit is in regular use or as needed to keep them clean.
How to remove and clean your filter:
1.Release cam latches and carefully swing access door open. The access door may be removed for ease of service by sliding the access door off. Use caution when removing door
2.Remove the filter retainer springs. Pull the filters out. See Figure 1.
3.Vacuum filters off with a hose attachment.

2.Vacuum the exposed faces of the heat transfer core with a soft brush attachment.
3.After servicing the filters,
