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

• Before installation, familiarize yourself with the built-in 5”extender
on the right side of the fan, and the two additional 3.5” extenders
which attach to the left side of the fan housing (see figure #1.) The
extra extenders are packed in styrofoam at each end of the box.

WE RECOMMEND KEEPING YOUR WINDOW SCREEN IN PLACE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

This window fan has been designed to fit double-hung, slider and case­ment windows with minimum openings of 24” wide and 14.5” high. For
casement windows, please see above, right column for information on
available bracket. This fan is designed and recommended for used with
your window screen in place.

For double-hung and slider windows:

NOTE: On SLIDER WINDOWS the bottom section must be the side you
add extenders to (left side). The controls should be facing toward the
window.

1. With the window open, take an accurate measurement of the open­ing where the unit will be placed.

2. Match your window measurement with the installation guide (see
figure #2 text); adding the appropriate extender panel(s) to
the left side, while using the
built-in extender on the right

3. Once you have added extender
panel(s) if necessary, set the
fan in the window, and com­plete the installation process
using the built-in extender.
Pull out for a snug, safe fit
(see step 5)

4. Carefully close the window onto
the top of the fan so that the
bottom edge of the window
rests behind top line of fan
housing. This is important as
it aides in keeping the fan in
place.

5. Lastly, pull out the built-in extender on right side to fill in the
remaining space. To pull out, simply pop up the extender lock
on the top of the fan housing next to the built-in extender, and
set to the desired length. To secure in place, push the extender
lock back down.

Casement Windows:

For a safe, secure fit in your casement window, you will need a special
bracket system. For easier installation in a casement window, we will
provide you with two brackets and screws at no additional cost. Please

For 28” to 32”: Use one 3.5” extender panel on the left side. Adjust

the pull out extender on the right side for a tight fit (from .5” to 5”)

Thermostat all the way to high by turning the dial to the right

switch to the OFF position.

Note: Remember to turn the oscillation switch to OFF when fan is not in use.

THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS:

Your window fan is equipped with a Comfort Control Thermostat that auto­matically turns the fan ON and OFF depending on the preset comfort level.
This is ideal for operation at night when the temperature drops. It is
labeled Comfort Control.

• While the Window Fan is on, turn the
Comfort Control Thermostat dial to the left
toward the smaller dots until the fan (and
oscillation) stops (Away from Cooler). This
is the selected comfort level.

• If the fan is stopped and you want to turn
it back on, turn the Comfort Control Thermostat dial to the right
towards the larger dots until the fan starts, (Towards Cooler). SET DIAL
TO DESIRED SHUT-OFF POINT. Turning dial (as noted above) helps you
locate the prevailing temperature on the dial.

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.
