Installation Instructions

Read completely, then follow step-by step.

Select the Best Location

Step 1. To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly

Step 2. If possible, install the unit where sunlight does not shine directly on the unit.

Step 3. The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 11" 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 the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

Step 4. Install the cabinet with a very slight tilt (about 1/2") downward toward the outside.

CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure.

 Window Requirements Window Requirements

Step 1. These instructions are for a standard double hung window. You will need to modify them for other types of windows.

Step 2. The air conditioner can be installed without the frame curtain if needed to fit in a narrow window. See the window opening dimensions to the right.

Step 3. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.

Step 4. The electric outlet must be within reach of the power cord.

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 stool.

WOOD PIECES–

Width: Minimum 1 1/2"(38mm)

Length: Long enough to fit inside the window frame.

Thickness: To determine the thickness, place a piece of wood on the stool to make it 1/2" higher than the top of the storm window frame. Attach securely with nails or screws provided.
