PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS – STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS Before installing, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the unit will fit. Refer to Table 1. Sides and rear of unit needs to be clear of obstacles to allow airflow through condenser. The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage. Save carton and installation instructions for future reference. The carton is the best way to store unit during winter, or when not in use. Please read ALL instructions before installing.
WINDOW MOUNTING REMOVE CHASIS 1. Pull down the front panel and remove filter. (Fig. 1) 2. Lift front panel upwards and place to one side. 3. Locate the four faceplate screws and remove. These screws will be re-installed later. (Fig. 2) Connector plug 4. Gently pry the faceplate loose. (Fig. 3) 5. Some models may have a connector plug as shown – disconnect the plug. (Fig. 3A) 6. 7. 8. 9. Pull faceplate away from cabinet and place to one side. (Fig.
10. Your unit may come with internal packaging. These packaging materials must be removed before re-inserting the air conditioner back into cabinet. Fig. 5. TOP ANGLE RAIL AND SIDE BRACKET INSTALLATION 1. Place cabinet on a flat and sturdy surface. 2. Locate the foam gasket and top angle rail. 3. Attach foam gasket to top angle rail above holes as shown. 4. Install top angle and side retainers to cabinet as shown. ASSEMBLE WINDOW FILLER PANELS TOP VIEW 1.

Hand tighten, do not over tighten, to allow for any changes later. 3. Install the support brackets (with sill angle brackets attached) to the bottom of cabinet. 4.
THROUGH-THE-WALL INSTALLATION NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation, or a qualified carpenter. SELECT WALL LOCATION This unit has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be installed through an outside wall as specified below. Maximum wall thickness: WA-1511S and WA-1811S = 10” WA-2211S and WA-2511S = 12” IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked.
4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions of your model listed above. (Best to measure twice). Frame depth should be the same as wall thickness. Fill in extra space from the opening to the studs with wood spacers. 5. Nail the spacers to the studs, they should be flushed with the drywall. NOTE: If wall thickness is 8.5” or more, add aluminum flashing over bottom of frame opening to assure water would not enter area between inner and outer wall. PREPARE AND INSTALL CABINET 1. 2. 3. 4.
MASONRY CONSTRUCTION 1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar to the frame construction (refer to Step 2 of Thru-thewall Installation for a wall thickness greater than 8-1/2 ). 2. Secure the cabinet in place using masonry nails or masonry anchor screws. Another way to do this is to build an in-between frame of 2x4’s as shown in Step 2 (Prepare Wall). It needs to be double framed on either side and installed between masonry wall opening and cabinet.
