If the fan does not fit snugly to the top and
bottom of the window casing, attach the
included extender panel 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

side of the fan. Push the locks back into place to secure
the extender screen at the desired length.
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.

: Use up to 3 inch
(7cm) of right side, pull out extender screen.
For 28 inch to 34 inch (71-86cm)

IMPORTANT:
If the unit will not start in automatic
mode, please make sure that the set temperature is
below the current room temperature. If the fan is stopped
and you would like to turn it back on, lower the set
temperature or switch to the manual mode.
