Accordion Panel Installation
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install the accordion panels on each side.
1.Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.
2.Locate the accordion panels in the box.
3.Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.
Placing the Unit Inside a Normal Window
1.Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air con- ditioner and close the window securely behind the top mounting rail. The air conditioner should be slightly tilted to the outside area. Use a level; about a 1/3 bub- ble will be the correct case slant to the outside. (See FIG. 5 & FIG. 6)

5.Once the accordion panels are slid into place, make sure you leave enough space to slip on the top and bottom rails (See FIG. 4). Now, slide the top and bot- tom of the side panels inside top and bottom rails (See FIG. 4A). Adjust the panels until they fit securely inside the rails
3.Place the frame lock between the frame extensions and the window sill as shown (FIG. 8). Drive
3/4” (19mm) locking screws through the frame lock and into the sill (FIG. 9). NOTE: To prevent window sill from splitting, drill 1/8” (3mm) pilot holes before driving screws.
