Installation tips

1.Choose a proper size window. l 15-W inches minimum width l 22 inches minimum height

l 42 inches maximum height

NOTE: The height measurement must be of an unobstructed opening above the mounting platform. In some cases, due to a variety of stop and track arrangements, the above dimensions may vary slightly.

2.Choose the installation site. The window frame and side of the structure must be able to support at least

110 Ibs. of weight.

3.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 5-6 for receptacle and wiring requirements.) Do not use an extension cord.
