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.
