Installation Instructions
3. PREPARE THE AIR
CONDITIONER
A.
Remove two screws on each side of the case.
Save the screws for use later.
B.
Insert a flat head screw driver between the front
grille and the metal case along the sides. Gently
pry the grille from the case.
NOTE:
Cover the flat head screw driver with
tape to prevent scratching the case.
C.
The front panel of the air conditioner is corded to
the air conditioner. They cannot be separated.
D.
While one person holds the front panel, have a
second person pull the air conditioner out of the
case using the handle on the bottom front of the
air conditioner.
E.
The air conditioner is very heavy so make sure
that it will be resting on a sturdy surface.
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.
