THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS:

Your window fan is equipped with a Comfort Control Thermostat that auto-

matically turns the fan ON and OFF depending on the preset comfort level.

This is ideal for operation at night when the temperature drops. It is

labeled Comfort Control.

• While the Window Fan is on, turn the

Comfort Control Thermostat dial to the left

toward the smaller dots until the fan (and

oscillation) stops (Away from Cooler). This

is the selected comfort level.

• If the fan is stopped and you want to turn

it back on, turn the Comfort Control Thermostat dial to the right

towards the larger dots until the fan starts,  (Towards Cooler). SET DIAL

TO DESIRED SHUT-OFF POINT. Turning dial (as noted above) helps you

locate the prevailing temperature on the dial.

IMPORTANT: If you desire continuous running of the fan, the Comfort

Control Thermostat dial should be turned all the way to the right to the

largest dot. 

• 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.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Carefully unpack all contents of carton.

installation.

• Before installation, familiarize yourself with the built-in 5”extender

on the right side of the fan, and the two additional 3.5” extenders

which attach to the left side of the fan housing (see figure #1.) The

extra extenders are packed in styrofoam at each end of the box.

WE RECOMMEND KEEPING YOUR WINDOW SCREEN IN PLACE

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

This window fan has been designed to fit double-hung, slider and case-

ment windows with minimum openings of 24” wide and 14.5” high. For

casement windows, please see above, right column for information on

available bracket. This fan is designed and recommended for used with

your window screen in place.

NOTE: On SLIDER WINDOWS the bottom section must be the side you

add extenders to (left side). The controls should be facing toward the

window.
1. With the window open, take an accurate measurement of the open-

ing where the unit will be placed.

2. Match your window measurement with the installation guide (see 

figure #2 text); adding the appropriate extender panel(s) to

the left side, while using the

built-in extender on the right

side.

3. Once you have added extender

panel(s) if necessary, set the

fan in the window, and com-

plete the installation process

using the built-in extender.

Pull out for a snug, safe fit

(see step 5) 

4. Carefully close the window onto

the top of the fan so that the

bottom edge of the window

rests behind top line of fan

housing. This is important as

it aides in keeping the fan in

place.

5. Lastly, pull out the built-in extender on right side to fill in the

remaining space. To pull out, simply pop up the extender lock

on the top of the fan housing next to the built-in extender, and

set to the desired length. To secure in place, push the extender

lock back down.

For a safe, secure fit in your casement window, you will need a special

bracket system. For easier installation in a casement window, we will

provide you with two brackets and screws at no additional cost. Please

keep in mind, your window must to be at least 24” high and 14.5” wide

to use this window fan/bracket combination. Please call our customer

service department, 1-800-5-HOLMES, for further assistance.

INSTALLATION GUIDE:

For 24” to 27”: Use up to 3” of right side, pull out extender.
For 28” to 32”: Use one 3.5” extender panel on the left side. Adjust

the pull out extender on the right side for a tight fit (from .5” to 5”)
For 32” to 36”: Use two 3.5” extender panels on the left side. Adjust

the pull out extender on the right for a tight fit (to 5”)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

• Make sure rotary switches are in the OFF position.

• Plug into 120V AC electric outlet.

• Set the individual fan motors on either INTAKE or EXHAUST using

the control lever. 

• To start the unit, turn the rotary switches to desired speed (HI, MED,

LO, SLEEP). Note: • If unit will not start, please check that Comfort

Control Thermostat is set to HI/largest dot. (Figure 3)

• When operating both fans on EXHAUST, set the Comfort Control

Thermostat all the way to high by turning the dial to the right

toward the largest dot.

• To start oscillation, simply move the Oscillation Switch to the ON

position. The oscillation system is powered by its own separate

motor; therefore, both fans will oscillate when the feature is turned

ON (you can set each individual fan to any speed you desire, includ-

ing OFF, and both fans will oscillate.) To end oscillation, move the

switch to the OFF position.

Note: Remember to turn the oscillation switch to OFF when fan is not in use.
