Installation
Proper clearance enhances the cooling! efficiency of the unit and prevents heat
radiation of the condenser.
1. If a storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip to the inner
window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick
enough to raise the height ,of the window sill so that the unit can b,e installed
without interference by the storm window frame.
2. See Figure. B. The top of the wood strip should be, approximately 3/4" higher
than the storm window frame (Storm Window Rame) or wood strip (Outdoors)
to help ,condensation to drain properly t,o the outside.
3. Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 11/2"wide and same
thickness as first strip) in the center of the sill flush against the back off the
inner sill. This will raise the L bracket as shown Figure. B.
4. If the distance between Storm Window Frame and Wood Strip Mounted on Top
of Inner Sill is more than 1", two of wood strips are not necessary.

directio, ns.
Drain Pipe
In humid weather, excess water may
cause the Base Pan to ovedlow. To
drain the water, remove the Drain Cap,
and secure the IDrain Pipe to the rear
hole of the Base Pan.
Press the drain pipe into the hole by
pushing down and away from the fins
to avoid injury.
This air conditioner is equipped with a
stinger fan. (See drawing, below.)
The fan has an outer ring that runs in
the ;water that collects in the base pan
if it gets deep. That condensate is then
picked up by the fan and expelled
through the condenser, making the air
conditioner more efficient.
Be careful when inserting the drain pipe. Push away from
the sharp fin area to avoid slipping injuring yourself.
Removal From Window
Turn the air conditioner df, disconnect the power cord, remove the L bracket, the
screws and Support Bracket installed through the top and bottom of the guide
panels, and save for reinstallation later. Close the guide panels. Keeping a firm grip,
on the air conditioner, raise the sash,, and carefully tilt the air conditioner backward,
draining any condensate. Lift the air conditioner from the window and remove the
sash seal from between the windows.
Be sure, to drain ALL condensate from the air condit:ioner. IIfyou don't, it could run
out while you carry the unit, making a mess and creating a slipping hazard. This
simple step w'ill save you much cl!eaning and make a safer work environment.
