OCATING AND
OUNTING THE
Choose an appropriate location for the unit:
• Within an area of the house where the ambient temperature is kept between 10°C (50°F) and 40°C (104°F);
• Away from living areas (dining room, living room, bedroom), if possible;
• So as to provide easy access to the interior cabinet for maintenance, and to the control panel on the side of the unit;
• Close to an exterior wall, so as to limit the length of the insulated fl exible ducts to and from the unit;
• HRV units only: close to a drain. If no drain is close by, use a pail to collect run-off;
• Away from hot chimneys, electrical panel and other fi re hazards;
• Within 6 feet of a power source (standard outlet).
