Installation tips
1. Choose a proper size window.
•
15

⁄
2
inches minimum width
• 22 inches minimum height
• 36 inches maximum height
NOTE: The height measurement must be
of an unobstructed opening above the
mounting platform. In some cases, due to
a variety of stop and track arrangements,
the above dimensions may vary slightly.
2. Choose the proper window location.
Choose a window that will allow the
cooled air to flow freely and directly into
the room(s) you want to cool. Remember,
it is difficult to move air around corners.
Also, choose a window that is within
6 feet of an electrical outlet. (See
“Electrical requirements” on pages 5-7 for
receptacle and wiring needs.) Do not
use an extension cord.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
