19. Slide chassis into cabinet. Be careful not to pinch
or cut your fingers when you are reinstalling the
chassis. Get assistance if necessary. Secure cabi-
net to chassis by installing chassis screws
removed in Step 6.
20. Reinstall the front panel. Make sure all lock tabs
are engaged. Secure front panel to cabinet with
the screws saved from Step 5. Make sure that the
power cord comes out of the unit.
21. Cut foam (provided) to fit the length of the win-
dow. Insert the foam between the top of the lower
window sash and the window panes of the upper
window. See Fig. 16. Make sure there is a firm fit
to prevent air leakage between the windows. This
also prevents insects from entering through the
window.
22. Some installations may require additional sealing
around the window or air conditioner. Additional
sealing strip material is provided if needed.
23. The unit was designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. Under extreme humid-
ity conditions, excess condensation may cause the
basepan to overflow to the outside of the unit. A
field-supplied drain hose may be installed at the
drain plug if required to route condensate away
from the unit. See Fig. 17.
24. Plug in the unit.
STORM WINDOW APPLICATIONS
If the window is blocked by a storm window and the
storm window cannot be removed, a mounting board
(field provided) will need to be added to the window
sash. The air conditioner needs to be pitched down-
ward to the back in order for condensate to drain prop-
erly. The frame of the storm window (or any other
obstruction) must be at least
1
/
2
-in. lower than the
window sill. If the storm window frame is not at least
1
/
2
-in. below the window sill, then a mounting board
will need to be added to raise the height of the window
sill. See Fig. 18. The board will need to be provided
and cut by the installer.
1. The wood mounting board should be a minimum
of 1
1
/
2
-in. wide and should run the length of the
window. The thickness of the mounting board is
dependent on the height of the storm window
frame. The mounting board should raise the front
of the air conditioner high enough so that the unit
will be pitched downward at least
5
/
8
-in. when the
back of the unit is resting on the storm window
frame. See Fig. 18.
2. Cut the wood mounting board to fit the window.
3. Install the wood mounting board on the window
using 2 field-provided nails or screws.
4. Drain holes or slots in storm window frame must
not be caulked or painted shut. Holes are needed
to drain rain water and condensate. Ensure that
trapped water can drain out.
