CAUTIONS When the air filter is to be removed, do not touch the metal parts of the unit. Injury may occur. When the unit is to be cleaned, switch off the unit, unplug the unit or turn off the circuit breaker. Failure to do so may cause electric shock or fire due to excess heat generation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Your air conditioner is designed to install in standard double hung windows with opening widths of 23 to 36 inches (584mm to 914mm) (See Figure 1). Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13 inches (330mm). Side louvers and the rear of the AC must have clear air space to allow enough airflow through the condenser, for heat removal. The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage.
3: Align the hole in the top rail with those in the top of the unit as shown in Figure B. 4: Secure the top rail to the unit with the 3/8” screws as shown in Figure C. Note: For safety reasons, all four (4) screws MUST be securely fastened. HOW TO INSTALL Note: Top rail and Sliding Panels at each side are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of the unit (5/16”). This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and drainage.
FIGURE 4 Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it sits securely inside the frame channel by making slight adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top and bottom rails of the cabinet. Figure 4 Note: If storm window blocks AC, see Figure 13 2. Keep a firm grip on the air conditioner, and carefully place the unit into the window opening so that the bottom of the air conditioner frame is against the windowsill (See Fig. 5).
