Setup and Installation
The Westpointe WWF0710A-WM Twin Window Fan is designed for easy installation in most double-hung and slider windows.
- Prepare the Window: Ensure the window opening is clean and clear of obstructions. The fan is designed to fit windows without needing to remove the screen.
- Position the Fan: Place the fan unit into the window opening. The main body of the fan should be centered.
- Extend Panels: Gently pull out the built-in extender panels on either side of the fan unit until they firmly contact the window frame. This secures the fan in place and seals the opening.
- Secure the Window: Lower the top sash of a double-hung window or slide the side sash of a slider window down/across until it rests snugly against the top edge of the fan unit. This further secures the fan and prevents it from falling.
- Plug In: Connect the power cord to a standard electrical outlet.
