Window Requirements
Step 1. These instructions are for a standard
double hung window. You will need to
modify them for other types of windows.
Step 2. The air conditioner can be installed
without the frame curtain if needed to fit
in a narrow window. See the window
opening dimensions to the right.
Step 3. All supporting parts must be secured to
firm wood, masonry, or metal.
Step 4. The electric outlet must be within reach
of the power cord.
Storm Window Requirements
Installation Instructions
Select the Best Location
Step 1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure
the unit is installed securely and firmly
Step 2. If possible, install the unit where sunlight
does not shine directly on the unit.
Step 3. The outside of the cabinet must extend
outward for at least 11" and there should be
no obstacles, such as a fence or wall,
within 20" from the back of the cabinet
because it will prevent heat radiation of the
condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce
the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
Step 4. Install the cabinet with a very slight
downward tilt (about 1/2") toward the
outside.
CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must
remain exposed and unobstructed to the outside of
the structure.
Read completely, then follow step-by step.
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside and will
keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this,
attach a piece of wood to the stool.
WOOD PIECES–
Width: Minimum 1 1 /
2
"(38mm)
Length: Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
Thickness: To determine the thickness, place
a piece of wood on the stool to make it 1/2"
higher than the top of the storm window frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided.
