STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
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 sill.
WOOD PIECES
WIDTH: 2”
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a
piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2s higher
than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl
frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the
installer.
Installation Instructions
WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
• These instructions are for a standard double-hung

of windows.
• All supporting parts must be secured
to firm wood, masonry or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the
power cord.

for your model.

PREPARE THE AIR CONDITIONER
Pull down the front panel and remove the filter.
Remove the front panel by lifting up at an
angle.
Remove the four front screws. Save them for
reinstalling the front housing.
Grasp the lower corners of the grille while
pressing in on the case sides with your finger
tips. Pull out to release and lift it up.
NOTE: Do not pull the bottom edge toward you
more than 3s or you may damage the tabs of
the grille.
When the front grille is removed the control
panel will still be attached by a harness. Turn
the grille around so you can see the back side
of the grille. Remove the 2 screws to separate
the control panel housing from the grille.
NOTE: Be sure to save these screws. You will
need them later in the installation.
