WARNING

Identifies an instruction which, if not followed, might cause serious personal injuries including possibility of death.

CAUTION

Denotes an instruction which, if not followed, may severely damage the unit and/or its components.

CAUTION

Your unit may be installed in a non heated area (e.g.: attic). In this case, your unit must run all the time if the outside temperature is too cold (32°F or below). A GSHH3K unit or a GSEH3K unit must be protected from freezing with an insulation blanket or a duct board insulated enclosure. See installation manual.

CAUTION

The GSVH1K, GSHH3K and GSEH3K units are not dehumidifiers. During cooling season, when high humidity weather occurs, it is preferable to momentarily stop the air exchange with the outside, until the period of excessive humidity passes. This will prevent too much humidity from entering the home. To stop the air exchange with a GSVH1K, set its wall controller to OFF. To stop the air exchange with a GSHH3K or a GSEH3K, set its wall controller to RECIRCULATION (the unit will continue to filter the inside air).

NOTE: The energy recovery ventilator GSEH3K is designed to assist in the

management of humidity introduced into the home. In extreme humidity conditions, the use of additional dehumidification may be desirable. Quickly remove all excess moisture and keep areas clean.
