INSTALLATION
Q INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE
WINDOW
• Carefully lift the air conditioner and slide it into the open
window. Make sure the bottom guide of the air
conditioner drops into the notches of the L brackets.
• When the air conditioner drops into the L brackets, the
air conditioner wiii be centered in window opening as
shown in FiG. 7.
• While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the
window sash down behind the upper guide of the air
conditioner, as shown in FIG. 8.
El
SECURE THE GUIDE PANELS
Extend the guide panels (ITEM G) to fill the window
opening using 2 ITEM B and 2 ÍTEM C screws to secure
them, as shown in FIG. 9.
INSTALL THE FOAM SEAL AND SASH LOCK
Cut the foam seal (ITEM F) to the window width.
Stuff the foam seal between the lower and upper
window sash to prevent air and insects from getting into
the room, as shown in FIG. 9.
Fasten the remaining L bracket on either side of the
window using screw (ITEM A). See FIG. 9 inset.
Installing this bracket prevents unit falling from window
being raised.
IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY STORM
WINDOW FRAME
If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide
wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of
the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise
the height of the window sill so that the unit can be
installed without interference from the the storm window
frame. See FIG. 10.
Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4" higher
than the storm window frame to help condensation to
drain properly to the outside.
Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by
1V 2 " wide and same thickness as first strip) in the center
of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill.
Screw the L brackets into this strip.
This will raise the L bracket as shown in FIG. 10.

carefully tilt the air conditioner away from you to drain any
condensate water. Lift the air conditioner from the window
and remove the foam seal from between the windows.
