INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL CONTENTS FROM THE PACKAGE. PLEASE CHECK PACKAGING MATERIALS FOR PARTS THAT COULD BE REQUIRED TO OPERATE YOUR FAN.

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 12 inches (30 cm) high.

NOTE: THIS FAN IS DESIGNED AND RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH A SCREEN IN THE WINDOW.

For Double-Hung Windows

1. Align the Window Fan horizontally in the window with the controls facing you and the Built-In-Extender Panel to the right.

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 included Slider Safe extender panel and pull out the Built-In Extender Panel 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 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. 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.

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

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Plug the fan into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

• Set the individual fan motors on either INTAKE, EXHAUST or AIR EXCHANGE using the Left/Right Fan Intake/Exhaust controls (E,D). NOTE: AIR FLOW DIRECTION CAN BE ALTERED WITHOUT TURNING THE FAN OFF.

• To start the unit and run continuously, push the 1Touch® Fan Button (A) once for the High setting and press the button twice for the Low setting.

1TOUCH® FAN THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS

Your fan is equipped with the technologically advanced 1Touch® Fan Thermostat. This feature will automatically turn the fan “ON” or “OFF” depending on the preset comfort level. The comfort level ranges between 60° and 80° Fahrenheit.

To take advantage of the 1Touch® Fan Thermostat, continue to press the 1Touch® Fan Button (A) until the desired temperature is reached. When room temperature drops below the set temperature, the fan will stop. When the room temperature rises above the set point, the fan will turn on automatically.

For example, if you set your thermostat to 75 degrees then your fan will run until the set temperature is reached. Once the temperature rises above the set temperature the fan will automatically turn on again.
