move air around corners. Choose a window that’s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer

to the ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT pages for type of receptacle and wiring needed.) Do not use an extension cord. The window in which you place your air conditioner should have an opening of at least 26 inches in width and at least 20 inches in height (see Figure 4).

Standard installation parts are supplied for double-hung sash windows up to 54 inches in width.

5. Attach seal strips to cabinet. Place 3/8” wide self-adhering seal strip on window side of bot- tom flange. Now, starting at the lower corner of the cabinet, apply 3/8”-wide seal strips over the center line of the pre-drilled holes for one of the side mounting angles, over the center line of pre-drilled holes for the top mounting channel, and over the center line of pre-drilled holes for the other side mounting angle. (See Figure 7.)

3l Remove front panel by pushing it down and pulling toward you (see Figure 5). This pro- tects the panel from damage and makes the

air conditioner easier to handle during installation.

Slide unit out of cabinet. First, disconnect the green ground wire at the left-front corner of base of unit by removing retaining screw (save screw for reuse later). Now slide unit out of cabinet by pulling out on handle on bottom (see Figure 6).

6l Attach side mounting angles to the sides of the cabinet by using four hex-head sheet metal screws (see Figure 8). Punch holes in seal strip before driving screws. Be sure flange of each side mounting angle faces inside. Now attach top mounting angle to cabinet by using three hex-head sheet metal screws. Again, be sure flange is facing inside.
