Electrical Information
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on the serial
plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
Do not remove any of the prongs from the power cord.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to
use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install
the proper receptacle.
Ensure the receptacle will be accessible before installing the unit.
Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place. This could result in mechanical damage within

Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear
vertical opening of the following sizes (see Table 1).
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.
Note: Save original carton and these installation
instructions for future reference. The carton is the
best way to store the unit during winter (or when
the unit will not be used for an extended period of
time).

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. IF you are not using the Side Panels for any
reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained.
1. Place unit on the floor, a bench, or a table. There is a Left and Right Window Filler Panel –be sure to use the
proper panel for each side. When installed, the flange for securing the panel in place to the windowsill will be facing
into the room.
FIG.3C
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.
Hold the Accordion Panel in one hand and
gently pull back the center to free the open
end. See Figure 2
Slide the free end of the panel into the
cabinet as shown in Figure 3A, 3B, and 3C.
Slide the panel down. Be sure to leave
enough space to slip the top and bottom
of the frame into the rails on the cabinet.

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). Carefully close the window behind the top rail of the
unit.
3. Extend the side panels out against the window frame (See Fig. 6).
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
4. Place the frame lock between the frame extensions and
the windowsill (as shown in Fig. 7).
Drive ¾” (19mm) or ½”(13mm) locking screws through the
frame lock and into the sill ( See Fig. 8).
Note: To prevent windowsill from splitting, drill 1/8” (3mm)
pilot holes before driving screws.
