ᐅ Is my central mechanical ventilation system working correctly?

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (Westaflex, central system with heat recovery and bypass function):
Indoors (exhaust air temperature 24°C (75°F))
Outdoors 35°C (95°F)
Setpoint room temperature 20°C (68°F)
With these values, the hot outside air should actually pass through the heat exchanger to be cooled by the "only" 24°C (75°F) exhaust air. However, the hot outside air bypasses the heat exchanger instead: the bypass damper is active.
How is it working for you?

There are usually defined limits for indoor and outdoor temperatures. These often include a margin of 2-3 degrees to prevent the door from opening and closing every 20 minutes. I think your indoor temperature of 24°C (75°F) is still too low; it will probably work better at around 26-27°C (79-81°F).
