Location Requirements 

IMPORTANT:

 Observe all governing codes and 

ordinances. 
Check the location where air conditioner will be 
installed. Proper installation is your responsibility. 
Make sure you have everything necessary for 
correct installation. 
The location should provide: 

  Grounded electrical outlet within 6.5 ft (200 

cm) of where the power cord exits the air 
conditioner. 

NOTE: 

Do not use an extension cord. 

  Free movement of air in room to be cooled. 

  A large enough opening for the air 

conditioner. 

  Adequate wall support for weight of air 

conditioner. Air conditioner weights up to 
114 lbs (103.6 kg). 

 

NOTE: 

Cabinet louvers & rear of the air 

conditioner must not be obstructed. Air must be 
able to pass freely through the cabinet louvers. 
The rear of air conditioner must be outdoors. Not 
inside a building or garage. 

 
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 panel if needed 
to fit in a narrow window. 
See Window Opening 
dimensions. 
 

All supporting parts must be secured to firm 
wood, masonry or metal. 
Follow the dimension in TABLE -1.

Thru the Wall Installation Requirements: 

The air conditioner can be thru the wall installed. 
The side louvers must never be blocked.  
Table -2 provides the maximum wall thickness 
dimension from the outer case to side air louvers.

TABLE -2 

 

Storm Window Requirements: 
 

A storm window frame will not allow the air 
conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep 
it from draining properly. To adjust for this, 
attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The 
board or wood piece should have a depth of at 
least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of 
wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm 
window frame. This will allow the air conditioner 
to tilt enough for proper drainage. See FIG-1.
