PREPARE AIR CONDITIONER
Remove the backing from the top
mounting rail seal strip and attach it
to the bottom of the top mounting rail.
Cut to size.
Install the top mounting rail with 3 or 4
type A screws (depending on the number
of holes in the top mounting rail) from the
outside of the case.
Loosen the lower screw on each side of
the case and hook a security bracket on
each side. To allow for later adjustment,
do not tighten the screws until you install
the unit in the window.

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.
WOOD PIECES –
WIDTH: 2
″
LENGTH:
Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
THICKNESS:
To determine the thickness, place a
piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2
″
higher
than the top of the storm window frame or the
vinyl frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by
the installer.
