3. Set the airflow direction by sliding the fan directional
switches located above each fan blade. Note that the
fan blades work independently from one another and

AUTO MODE

Your fan is equipped with a Programmable Digital
Thermostat that will automatically turn the fan ON and
OFF depending upon the preset comfort temperature.
This is ideal for night time operation when temperatures
can drop below comfort levels.
