Operating Instructions

Remote Control Functions:

• Power Button: Turns the fan on or off.
• Manual/Auto Mode: Toggle between manual control and automatic operation (thermostat controlled).
• Speed Control: Adjust fan speed (e.g., 10%, 25%, 40%, 55%, 70%, 85%, 100%). Use the up/down arrows to change speed.
• Temperature Control: Set desired temperature for automatic mode. Use the up/down arrows to adjust the temperature setting.

Cleaning the Fan and Screen:

1. Disconnect Power: Always turn off the fan and disconnect power before cleaning.

3. Clean Blades and Housing: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the fan blades, motor housing, and interior surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
4. Clean Screen: Wash the screen with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinstallation.
5. Inspect Seal: Periodically check the roof seal around the fan for any cracks or deterioration. Re-seal as necessary to prevent leaks.
