selected a suitable location.
Location
When choosing a location, please keep in mind:
 The air conditioner should be placed on a firm, level location in order to minimize noise and
vibration. Your appliance has casters to aid in placement. Use caution when rolling on
carpet and do not attempt to roll the unit over any objects as this may result in the unit
tipping over.
 Never place any obstacles near the air inlet or outlet of the unit.
 Allow at least 20” of space from the wall for efficient performance.
Window Slider Kit Preparation:
 Your window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard vertical and horizontal window
applications
 If the window opening is less than the minimum length of the window slider kit, you may trim
the slider panel B. (Trim the side farthest from the exhaust port).
 Slide Panel A inside panel B and adjust to the correct width. To secure the panels together,
press the Window Slider Kit ‘Bolt’ into the appropriate slot on the edge of Panel A.
