Requests on Use
- When this product ventilates, it takes in cold air from the outdoor in winter. For this reason, when the outdoor air
temperature drops, moisture in the air around the product condensates, and water drops sometimes adhere to
the product or drop. This, however, is not a malfunction. Wipe o󰀨 any water droplets.
- When outdoor air temperatures are low and operation of the product is stopped, operation of the ventilator
or pressure of the outdoor wind might cause outdoor air to ow in from the product, which may result in dew
condensation forming on the product and other parts. This is not a malfunction. Wipe o󰀨 any water droplets.
- When a lot of humidity is generated from building materials at newly built houses, dew condensation may occur
on the product and other parts. This is not a malfunction. Wipe o󰀨 any water droplets.
- When a strongly fragrant scent, etc. is used in toilets, bath rooms and wash basins, or when cigarette or other
smoke is discharged, odor is sometimes sense from the air vent.
- When ventilating a bathroom and living room etc. , operate the product for 24 hours.
- Do not stop operation except in the following instances. (Resume operation after the product has been
temporarily stopped.)
- When there is heavy snow, strong winds or heavy rain such as snowstorms or typhoons
- When there is thick fog
- During cleaning and maintenance
- When a lot of humidity is generated from building materials at newly built houses, dew condensation may form
on the product and other parts. So, switch the operation mode to temporarily stop operation, and open the
windows.

2. Features
What is the LOSSNAY HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR…?
■
E󰀨ective ventilation routes can be achieved in the entire house by the supply air vent and the exhaust vent
being installed at locations away from each other depending on the duct connection method.
■
Built-in lters reduce the inux of dust, pollen, etc, in outdoor air before the air is supplied to rooms.
Heatexchangeoperation
Dirty air from the room is discharged (=exhaust), and clean air from the outdoor is taken into the room (=air supply).
During this time, air is discharged and taken in through the Heat exchanger. As a result, air is ventilated while
reusing (heat collection) the warmth or coolness of the room which is discarded during ventilation.
■
When air conditioning is used in summer and winter, heat exchange ventilation reduces the load placed on air
conditioning to ensure energy savings.
Bypass operation
When exhaust and air supply are performed, air is supplied to the room without any change in the outdoor air
temperature due to exhaust being performed without passing through the Heat exchanger.
■
In spring and fall, and summer nights, for example, the cool air of the outdoor is taken in.

3. Preparations Before Use
■Receiveanexplanationaboutoperationproceduresandthecorrectmethodofusetoensuresafe
operation.
Make sure that commissioning and operation checks described in the Installation Manual have been carried out.
■Checkthepositionsandoperationmethods.
1) Inspection space:
It is required for maintenance on the product.
The product requires maintenance (regular lter cleaning, internal motor replacement, etc.).
If the product position is out of the specied dimensions as a result of checking the inspection layout drawing
described in the Installation Manual section 3.2 Working space, contact a distributor or an electrician.
2) Grills:
They are required on the supply air and exhaust sides of the product.
To reduce the frequency of cleaning the lters on the product, we recommend using a lter for taking up dust in
the room in the exhaust grill.
3) Controller:
It is required for starting and stopping operation of the product and for switching the fan speed.
Please see section 5. How to use.
Note
- The product is not an air-conditioner.
-Werecommendlocalventilationfordischargecigarettesmoke,etc.
-Werecommendinstallingbedsawayfromthesupplyairvent.(Duringsleep,youmaybebotheredbythe
operatingsoundoftheproductorfeelcoldair.)
