Step 1: Set the fan into your window opening.
Step 2: If the fan does not fit snugly to the top and
bottom of the window casing, attach the
included extender panel(s) and pull out the
built-in extender screen until the fan fits
safely in your window (See Figure 3).
Step 3: 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 window fan.
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.
NOTE: For slider windows, set the fan vertically in your
window opening, with the left side on the bottom.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
The extender panels can be secured to the fan by simply
sliding the extender panels into the grooves located on the
left hand side of the fan.
The extender screen can be adjusted by pulling out the
extender locks located on the top and bottom of the right
side of the fan. Push the locks back into place to secure
the extender screen at the desired length.
For 24 inch to 27 inch (61-69cm): Use up to 3 inch
(7cm) of right side, pull out extender screen.
For 28 inch to 34 inch (71-86cm): Use one 3 inch
(7cm) extender panel on the left side. Adjust the pull out
extender screen on the right side for a tight fit
(from 0.5 inch to 7 inch (1.3-17.8cm) ).
For 35 inch to 37 inch (89-94cm): Use two 3 inch
(7cm) extender panels on the left side. Adjust the pull out
extender screen on the right side for a tight fit
(from 0.5 inch to 7 inch (1.3-17.8cm) ).

thermostat that automatically turns the fan on and off
depending upon the preset comfort level. For example, if
