Operating Instructions
The EC45S can be operated using the control panel on top of the unit or the included remote control.
Control Panel Functions:
- ON/SPEED Button: Press to turn the unit on. Repeatedly press to cycle through the three fan speeds (Low, Medium, High).
- OFF Button: Press to turn the unit off.
