6.1 P
REPARING THE UNIT
When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
Inspect the exterior of the unit for shipping damage. Make sure that there is no damage to the door,
ports, power cord, etc.
Before installing the unit, remove the shipping bracket by unscrewing its wing nut and loosening both
retaining screws.
6.2 L U
OCATING THE NIT
HRV Solo 1.5ES and HRV Solo 2.0ES units can be installed in normal or reverse postion (upside down). When
installed in reverse position in a cold region where outdoor temperature could drop below -20oC (-4oF) for more
than 5 days in a row, these units must always be set in extended defrost. See Section 7.1 Setting Extended Defrost.
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 quarterly and annual 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 flexible duct to and from the unit
• 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 fire hazards
• Allow for a power source (standard outlet)
Hang the unit with the 4 chains and springs provided (see illustrations at right).
