16.For installation In windows having no slde flanges or with wood stops.
The flanges (top and two sides) on the air condi- tioner must mate against companion flanges on the window, not more than 1/16” (.2 cm) in thickness. On the side with the opened sash, the leading edge of the sash becomes the flange. On the top and jamb side of most metal windows, the flange is there.
In windows where there are no flanges or where there are thick wood flanges or stops, use metal angles or wood to provide a stop for the unit flange. Diagrams at left show three suggested methods.
17.For installation in steel casement windows.
Follow Steps 2 and 3 on page 5. NOTE: In Step 3, the shelf labs must butt to the front of the bottom angle on the casement (see diagram
at leff).
When Step 3 is finished, follow Steps 4 through 10 on page 6, and Steps 11 and 12 on page 7. Then proceed with the final two para- graphs in this Step 17, which immediately follow.
Open window at least 16O’to allow room for unit cabinet. If necessary, remove window crank handle so the window will open wide enough and not interfere with shelf against the bottom sill angle. Tie opened window to the wall or frame to prevent the window from swinging.
Drill V”” holes in the window jamb top to line up with holes in filler frame (see diagram at left). Use two thread cutting screws (Item 13) to secure unit. If you need additional holding strength, add screws at the bottom of the unit side channels (see Step 13 diagram).
