Installation Instructions
3. PREPARE THE AIR
CONDITIONER
A. Install the top mounting rail with 3 Type A screws
B. Slide the side curtain panels into the side panel
rails.
C. Slide left and right side curtain frames into top

snap into side of the frames.
1. WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
• These instructions are for a standard
double-hung window. You will need to modify
them for other types of windows.
• The air conditioner can be installed without the
side curtain panels if needed to fit in a narrow
window. See the window opening dimensions.
• All supporting parts must be secured to firm
wood, masonry or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the
power cord.
• Follow the dimensions in the table and
illustration for your model.
2. 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 1/2″ higher
than the top of the storm window frame or the
vinyl frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by
the installer.
