Installation Instructions – Double Hung Window
Choose a window to install the fan. The fan will fit into a double hung window 15.75" to 36"wide
with an opening height of at least 12". There must be a polarized outlet within 6
'
from the
window.
1. Remove the window screen
This fan will extend beyond the window screen. The unit will be sealed in the installation process. The unit also has a
filter that will block insects and bugs. A screen is not necessary with this unit.
2. Install the support bracket
Install the support bracket in the center of the window using 3 #8 x ¾ " screws (provided) to attach it
to the outside window sill. Mark the location of the screw holes on the window sill. Drill 3/16” pilot
holes for the screws. Insert the leveling screw at the end of the bracket. Adjust the height of the leveling
screw so the top is level with the highest part of the window sill.
3. Install the extenders
Remove the 2 end screws from the window bracket. Loosen the center screw. Insert the
extenders into the window bracket and secure with the 2 end screws. Tighten the middle screw.
4. Install the bottom weather strip (
Figure 1
)
Place 4 glue dots on the window sill where the CapeBreeZ will be placed. Cut a piece of the 42" weather strip to the
window width. Attach the weather strip to the window sill.
5. Install the weather strips
Place 3 glue dots on the sides of the windows. Attach the 7" weather strips.
6. Install CapeBreeZ in the window
Place CapeBreeZ so it is centered in the window. Slide the extenders to the window frame and into the window channel.
7. Install the foam insulation
Measure the opening in the extender. Cut the foam insulation to this dimension using scissors.
Slide foam in slot.
8. Install the top weather strip
Place 2 glue dots on the top of the unit and 2 on the end of the extenders. Cut a piece of the 42"
weather strip to the window width. Attach the weather strip to the unit.
9. Close the window
Close the window so the window frame is between the window bracket and the motor dome. For
increased security, a window lock (not provided) can be installed on the window.
10. Install the center sash insulation (
Figure 2
)
Cut the center sash insulation to the window width using scissors. Loop wire tie around insulation for easy
removal. Insert it in the gap between the top window pane and the lower window frame with the stiff
insulation facing indoors. For some windows with a narrow opening, the insulation may be need to be smaller.
