3. PREPARE THE AIR
CONDITIONER
A. Install the top mounting rail with Type A screws;
4 for AHM12, AHM10, AHM08 and ADH08, and
3 for AHM05 and AHM06 from the outside of
the case.
B. Apply the weather seals provided to the bottom,
top and sides of the window to the seal around
the perimeter of the air conditioner.

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.
