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.
• WARNING: BE SURE FAN IS SECURELY INSTALLED IN
YOUR WINDOW AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT LEAN OR
PUSH ON FAN WHILE IT IS IN THE WINDOW.
