The FAN lever is located at the forward side of the control panel. Moving the lever to the right actuates the three-speed blower. The Temperature thumbwheel (right side of control panel) controls the positioning of the temperature door in the distributor duct. Moving the AIR DE-ICE thumbwheel (left side of control panel) to the first detent position opens the air door, allowing air to enter system. Moving the control to the de-ice position opens the defroster door, diverting partial airflow to the defroster outlets.
