Installation
WARNING: Disconnect power to any appliances or fans to which you
will be connecting the FB6. Failure to do so may result in injury.
•Seal unused mounting holes with aluminum tape or adhesive to
prevent air leak
•Install the FB6 between your HRV or inline fan and your home's
ducting.
•Make sure access door is oriented so you can easily check the fil-
ter and replace it when needed.
•Use aluminum tape or an adhesive to seal the ducts onto the duct
connections. Duct tape eventually fills with dust and loses its adhe-
sive.
•If cold air from the outside will pass through the FB6 and it is locat-
ed in a warm area, condensation may occur.Insulate the cabinet if
this is a concern in your installation.
•If warm, humid air will pass through the FB6 and it is located in a
cool air-conditioned area, condensation may occur inside the cabi-
net. Insulate the cabinet if this is a concernin your installation.
•Open the access panel and check that the filter is in place and any
packaging is removed.
Maintenance
Replace your filter every three (3) months. Adjust your
maintenance schedule based on how dirty the filter is when you
replace it. If the inside of the cabinet is dirty, wipe with a clean,
damp cloth. Enter the date the filter was installed then the date of
each replacement filter. (See back page for chart)
