WINDOW FAN INSTALLATION
Your window fan is designed to be used with a window
screen in place. To install your window fan, simply
position your fan on the edge of the window sill and close
the window sash so that the window rests in the track on
the top of the fan.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Plug the fan into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
Fan speed control settings = Off, High, Med, Low.
Electrically Reversible Air Flow: Your fan blades are
electrically reversible so that you can change the direction
of the air flow by sliding the switches.
• To pull in fresh air from the outside, slide both Air
Flow Switches (A) to the Intake position.
• To exhaust the inside air out, slide both Air Flow
Switches to the Exhaust position.

slide one of the Air Flow Switches to the Intake position
and the other Air Flow Switch to the Exhaust position.
COMFORT CONTROL THERMOSTAT
Your fan is equipped with a Comfort Control Thermostat
that you can program to turn the fan ON and OFF
automatically.
• Plug the fan into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
• For the fan to turn ON automatically, you must set
the thermostat to 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

this temperature.
