INSTALLATION
a 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 created by the L brackets.
When the air conditioner drops into the L brackets, the
air conditioner will 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.
Extend the guide panels (ITEM F) to fill the window
opening using 4 screws (ITEM B) to secure them, as
shown in FIG. 9.
a INSTALL THE FOAM SEAL AND SASH LOCK
■ Cut the foam seal (ITEM E) 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

El 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. 11.
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. 11.
REMOVAL FROM WINDOW
Turn the air conditioner off, and disconnect the power
cord. Remove the L bracket and the screws installed
through the top and bottom of the side panels, and save
for reinstallation later. Close the side panels. Keeping a
firm grip on the air conditioner, raise the sash, and
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.
A CAUTION
■ Air conditioners covered in this manual pose an
excessive weight hazard. Two or more people are
needed to move and install the unit.
To prevent injury or strain, use proper lifting and
carrying techniques when moving unit.
■ When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid
cuts from sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.
