Installation Instructions
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
accordion 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.
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.
