COMFORT CONTROL THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS
Your fan is equipped with a technologically advanced electronic
thermostat. This feature will automatically turn the fan “ON” or “OFF”

between 60° and 80° Fahrenheit.
To take advantage of the electronic thermostat, continue to press the
Power Button ( ) until the desired temperature is reached. The selected

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.

temperature setting after the unit has been turned off. However, if the unit is unplugged,
the thermostat will be reset and will no longer remember the previous temperature setting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to correctly and safely care for your window fan. Please remember:
REPLACEABLE FUSE
If your (5 Amp, 125 Volt) replaceable fuse blows, please order a new fuse at
1-877-777-8065. Follow the below instructions to replace the fuse on the plug.
User Servicing Instructions
1. Unplug your fan. Grasp plug and remove from the receptacle or other outlet device. Do
not unplug by pulling on cord.
2. Open fuse cover, located on the top of the plug, by using your thumb or a flathead
screwdriver to slide the cover down towards the prongs.
NOTE:
Ensure that fuse cover is completely open before
attempting to remove fuse.
3. Remove fuse carefully by using a small screwdriver to pry the
fuse out of the compartment by the metal ends of the fuse.
(see Figure 4)
4. Place plug on a solid, flat surface. Insert new 5 Amp, 125 Volt
fuse into fuse compartment and use a small screwdriver to
secure the metal ends of the fuse into the compartment.
CAUTION:
Risk of fire. Replace fuse only with 5 Amp, 125
Volt fuse.
5. Slide fuse cover closed completely. If fuse cover is difficult to close, make sure fuse is
secured in place completely by pressing down on metal ends of the fuse.
6. Risk of fire. Do not replace attachment plug. It contains a safety device (fuse) that should
not be removed. Discard product if the attachment plug is damaged.
FAN CLEANING
• Always unplug the fan before cleaning or disassembling.
• Do not allow water to drip on or enter into the fan motor housing.
• Be sure to use a soft cloth moistened with mild soap solution.
• Do not use gasoline, thinner or benzene as a cleaner.
• The fan grills not supposed to be disassembled by user. Recommend to use a small paint
brush and a vacuum to clean the fan blades.
Fan Blade and Front Grill Cleaning
1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screws located around the perimeter of the
rear grill. Carefully separate the front and the rear grills from the end opposite the built
in extenders. Do not completely detach the grills as this may damage the extender clips.
Separate only enough to gain access to the blades with one hand.
2. Clean blades and grills with a soft, moist cloth (see above).
3. Securely fasten the grills together.
FAN STORAGE
For all window fans, and fans that come already assembled:
• It is important to keep it in a safe, dry location.
• We recommend using the original (or appropriately sized) box.
• Please remember to protect the fan from dust or moisture.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS
SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.
