3.7CASEMENT WINDOW INSTALLATION

Installation procedure is the same as that described in steps 1 through 11 and step 13 of the horizontal sliding window installation.

If the window opening is wider than 15-3/4" you will need to install a filler panel. Make this panel from 3/4 inch thick wood and run it the full length of the window. Attach it securely to the window frame and paint it to protect it from the weather.

Since styles and sizes of casement windows vary widely, it is advisable to have the air conditioner installed by someone skilled in this type of installation.
