The window fan comes fully assembled and is ready for immediate installation.

This window fan has been designed to fit double-hung windows with minimum openings of 25 inches (63 cm) wide and 10 inches (25 cm) high.

Panel (H) until the fan sits safely in your window.

4.If the fan still does not fit snugly attach the Slider Safe® Extender Panel located in the polyfoam packaging in the original box. Align the slot in the Slider Safe® Extender Panel along the tab located on the left side of your Window Fan (G). Slide the Slider Safe® Extender Panel completely down the tab until it is flush on both the top and bottom of the Window Fan.

5.To keep the fan in place, carefully close the window so that the bottom edge of the window rests on the flat area on the top of the fan.

For Slider Windows

1.Set the Fan vertically in your window opening with the left side of the fan situated on the bottom and the Built-In Extender Panel on top.

2.Set the fan into your window opening (note that in most cases the window screen does not have to be removed or left open).

3.If the fan does not fit snugly to the top and bottom of the window casing, attach the Slider Safe®

Extender Panel and adjust the built-in extender screen until the fan fits securely in your window.

COMFORT CONTROL THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS

Your window fan is equipped with a Comfort Control Thermostat that automatically turns the fan on and off depending on your preset comfort level.

• For the fan to turn on, the thermostat must be set at a temperature higher than the current room temperature. If the fan power is on but the fan blade(s) aren't moving, turn the Comfort Control Thermostat dial to the right until the fan blade(s)

spin.

• To set your desired comfort level, run the fan until

the temperature in your room is comfortable. Slowly

turn the Comfort Control Thermostat dial to the left

until the fan blades turn off. This is the temperature

your fan will maintain.

IMPORTANT: If you desire continuous running of

the fan, the Comfort Control Thermostat dial should

be turned all the way to the right to the largest dot.

Fan Blade and Front Grill Cleaning

1.Using a phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws that hold the front and rear grills together. Do not completely detach the grills as this may damage the extender clips. Separate only enough to gain access to the blades with one hand.
