 STEP 3: 

INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN 

THE WINDOW

• 

Carefully lift air conditioner and place the unit 

into the window opening so the bottom of the air 

conditioner frame is against the window sill. Close 

the window behind the top rail of the unit. 

THIS 

MAY REQUIRE 2 PEOPLE.

•  Check that the air conditioner is tilted back 

approximately 3°~4° downward to the outside. If 

the condensation does not drain after installation, 

adjust the slope.

FOR STORM WINDOWS

•  Remove the storm window and add wood, as 

shown, before installing the air conditioner

•  If the storm window frame must remain, be sure 

the drain holes or slots are not caulked or blocked. 

Rain water and condensation must be able to  

drain out.

 STEP 4: 

SECURING THE AIR CONDITIONER

1. 

Secure the top rail to the window sash with Type B 

Wood Screws.

2.

  Extend the left accordion panel across to reach 

the window frame. Secure the top and bottom of 

the accordion panel with Type B Wood Screws, as 

shown. Repeat this step on the opposite side.

3.

  Install Curtain Locks (F) to the bottom middle of 

the accordion panel frame, one on each side. 

Secure Curtain Locks with Type B Wood Screws.

4.

  Install Upper Sash Lock (G) to the window frame 

and secure with Type B Screws, as shown. 

NOTE: 

For vinyl or similarly constructed  

windows, attach the upper sash lock to the 

window side jamb to prevent broken glass or 

damage to the window.

5.  Cut the Foam Seal (H) to the window width. Stuff 

the sash between the glass and the window to 

prevent air and insects from getting into the room.

 STEP 5: 

YOU CAN NOW TURN ON
