16. Slide inner window sash firmly 

against side 

of the cabinet. Make sure not to peel the seal strips 

from the window track and cabinet side channels. If 

the panel frame does not fit snugly to the inner 

window sash, secure the panel frame to the sash 

with #8x3/4-inch screws, or #8-32x3/4-inch self-

threading screws. Use the partially plugged holes in 

the panel frame. Drill 1/8-inch pilot holes for the 

screws.

17. Hook the safety bracket over

 the base of the 

unit and fasten it to the front of the platform 

assembly. Use a #8-32x3/4-inch self-threading 

screw.

NOTE:

  The bracket prevents movement of the 

air conditioner (either in or out) after completing the 

installation.

18. Stuff the foam seal strip/sash seal 

between

the vertical sash and the window glass, as shown 

right.

19. Use the window locking bracket

 to lock the 

inner window sash to the base of the outer window 

sash. Use one #8x3/4-inch screw, or #8-32x3/4-

inch self-threading screw. (Drill 1/8-inch pilot hole).

20. To replace the front 

First reconnect the coupler plugs, make the exhaust 

control positioned through the front in the proper 

location. Gently push the front into position on the 

cabinet. It should click into place. Then replace the 

retaining screws that holds the panel in place.

Do not

 push or pull the front panel louvers. 

Alternate Window Jamb

Applications

To install in windows having no flanges or wood stops 

on the top and side jambs, the channels and panel 

frame must fit against a mating flange (or 1/16-inch 

max. thick angle) attached to the window jambs. 

Figure A shows this angle installed. Figures B & C 

show alternate treatments. On the sash side of the 

opening, the leading corner of the inner sash 

becomes the flange. You can purchase the angle 

strip locally.
