• Height measurement must be of a clear opening above mounting platform. In some cases, due to a variety of
stop and track arrangements, the above dimensions may vary slightly. If necessary, installation can be made by
alternating window jambs. (See Alternate Window Jamb Applications.)

BChoose the proper window location.
Choose a window that allows the cooled air to flow freely and directly
into room(s) you wish to cool. Remember, it is difficult to move air
around corners. Also, choose a window that is within 6 feet of an
electrical outlet as shown (FIG.5). (See Meeting Electrical
Requirements/Receptacle wiring needs.) Do not use an extension cord.
Installing Unit in a Sliding Window:
_ Attach support brace to p_atform as shown (FIG.6). Use adjustment
bolt and hex flange nut to complete assembly. Choose slot and adjustment
bolt hole locations that will create a 45 degree angle between platform and
support brace. Try assembly in the window to determine if platform will rest
properly, and allow proper slope (3/16" lower on out side).
FIG.5
Platform Assembly
o If you are planning to use a siding-protection board (see Step 8)
on the outside of your house hold board in place when testing
assembly in window.
_Measure, and lightly mark a line 8-11/16" from window jamb:
1/4"(6mm) HEX
FLANGE NUT
8-11/16" inches FI6.7
If any sash stop protrudes more than 1" from the side window
jambs, the 8-11/16" measurement must be increased
accordingly (FIG.7). Screen and storm window frames may also
require adjustments to the measurement.
_ Center platform assembly on the line with inside platform tab
pressed against inside edge of window track as shown (FIG.8A, FIG.8B).
Using the holes in the platform as a guide, mark and drill two 9/64" diameter
holes. Drill holes in either track or stool.
_Peel off protective backing from track seal. Apply seal to room side
of window track (FIG.9). Center of seal strip should coincide with the line
marked in Step 5. The two screw holes drilled in Step 6 should be directly
above seal strip in the inner track.
_ Securely attach a siding-protection board to side of house (FIG.10).
NOTE: Siding-protection board should be long enough to span 2 wall studs.

DPlace platform assembly, with platform tab against inside of window
track, and attach it to window jamb (FIG. 11). Use appropriate length screws
mAs9-11 in preparing For Installation).
djust platform assembly so that outside edge is 3/16" lower than
inside edge, as shown (FIG.11). This ensures proper water drainage from
the air conditioner.
_Level platform assembly from side-to-side. Also, make sure window
track is level. Use leveling shims as necessary to ensure unit is level from
side-to-side.
_Measure height of window opening from top of platform assembly as
shown (FIG.12). Subtract 20-5/8". Mark this measurement on plastic window
panel, along the longer side.
_ Clamp plastic window panel between a board and a work table, and
cut along cutting line with a fine tooth saw. Remove any burrs with a file.
_ Fasten side channels to the sides of the air conditioner using 3 screws
(Item 17) per channel as shown (FIG.13). Start with first screw at top of
channel. Make sure hook ends of channels face toward back of unit.
_ Slide plastic window panel into panel frame as shown (FIG.14), with
the smooth side to the room. Slide panel frame assembly into side channels
of the AC cabinet. Make sure plastic window panel is firmly enclosed on all
sides by the retainer grooves.
_Cut side channel seal into 2 equal lengths. Remove protective backing
and apply it to the rear side of cabinet side channels, starting just below panel
frame assembly (FIG.15). Pinch off excess length so seal is even with the bottom
of the cabinet side channel.

3. While pressing on the sides of the metal case, gently pull the front out and lift up to release it from the case.
4. Then release the electrical coupler plug.
NOTE: DO NOT push or pull air direction louvers.
_ Place air conditioner in window opening. As shown (FIG.17), it should sit on platform assembly so that
window panel frame and cabinet side channels are against top and side window jambs.
