How to Install the Unit
Window Requirements
●
This unit is designed for installation in standard
double hung windows with actual opening
widths from 27" to 39".
The top and bottom window sashes must open
16" from the bottom of the upper sash to the
inside sill.
●
The height offset between the inside sill and
outside sill must be less than 1 ¼".

wood, masonry, or metal.
Preparation of Cabinet
1
Remove 4 screws which fasten the cabinet
at both sides and at the back. (Keep the
screws for later use.)
1
To prevent vibration and noise, make sure
the unit is installed securely and firmly.
4
Install the unit slightly tilted so the back is
slightly lower than the front (about 1/2").
This will force condensed water to flow to
the outside.
5
Install the unit with the bottom between
30" ~60" above the floor level.
2
Install the unit where the sunlight dose not
shine directly on the unit.
3
The outside of the cabinet must extend out-
ward for at least 12" and there should be no
obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20"
from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce
1
If a storm window presents interference,
fasten a 2” wide wood strip to the inner
window sill across the full width of the sill.
The wood strip should be thick enough to
raise the height of the window sill so that
the unit can be installed without interference
by the storm window frame.
2
(See drawing.) The top of the wood strip on
the inside sill should be approximately ¾”
higher than the storm window frame or wood
strip on the outside sill to help condensation
to drain properly to the outside.
3
If necessary, install a second wood strip
(same thickness as first strip) across the full
width of the outer sill, flush against the back
of the inner sill.
