Choose a window that allows the cooled air to flow 
freely and directly into room(s) you wish to cool.
Remember, it is difficult to move air around corners.
Also, choose a window that is within 6 feet of an 
electrical outlet. (See Meeting Electrical 
Requirements/Receptacle wiring needs.) 

Do not 

use an extension cord.

3.

Choose the proper window location.

Installing Unit in a Sliding Window

1. Attach support brace to platform 

as shown.

Use adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to complete 
assembly. Choose slot and adjustment bolt hole 
locations that will create a 45 degree angle between 
platform and support brace. Try assembly in the 
window to determine if platform will rest properly, and 
allow proper slope (3/16-inch lower on outside).

NOTE:

If you are planning to use a siding-

protection board (see Step 5) on the outside of your 
house, hold board in place when testing assembly in 
window.

2. Measure, and lightly mark a line 8-11/16 inches 
from window jamb.

NOTE:

   If any sash stop protrudes more than 1 

inch from the side window jambs, the 8-11/16-inch 
measurement must be increased accordingly.
Screen and storm window frames may also require 
adjustments to the measurement.

3. Center platform assembly

 on the line with inside 

platform tab pressed against inside edge of window 
track. Using the holes in the platform as a guide, 
mark and drill two 9/64-inch diameter holes. Drill 
holes in either track or stool.

(continued)

Property Damage Hazard-Failure to adhere to 
the following precaution could result in 
damage to window or air conditioner.

Be sure wood stool or window track is securely 
attached to the building construction. Use longer 
screws in sub-framing if necessary.
