INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Window Preparation
Please read all instructions prior to installing your air conditioner. Two people are recommended to install this product. If
a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before installing the unit.
Before installing the unit, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the air conditioner will fit. This unit is made
to fit inside a standard double-hung window. Make sure the window is in good shape and able to firmly hold the needed
screws. If not, make repairs prior to installing the unit.
Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To
adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”.
Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air
conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (See FIG. 2).
Prior to Installing the Air Conditioner
1. Check for anything that could block airflow. Check the area outside of the window for things such as shrubs, trees, or
awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not prevent proper airflow.
2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit serial nameplate
(located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is close enough for the power cord to
reach.
3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the floor is protected when remov-
ing. Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the unit together.

THRU-THE-WALL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation
and/or a qualified carpenter.
Select the Wall Location
This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can
be installed through an outside wall as specified below:
MAX WALL THICKNESS: 8”
IMPORTANT: The side louvers must never be blocked.
NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Installation are
provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood
screws (10-1” long minimum). Select a wall surface that:
1. Does not support major structural loads such as the
frame construction at ends of windows, and under
truss-bearing points, etc.
2. Does not have plumbing or wiring inside.
3. Is near existing electrical outlets, or where another out-
let can or will be installed.
4. Does not have objects blocking the air vents which
limits cooling.
5. Allows unblocked airflow from the rear and sides of the
air conditioner.
Prepare the Wall
1. Prepare the wall in frame construction (including brick
and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room, find
the wall stud that is nearest the center of the installa-
tion area.
2. Cut a hole on each side of the center stud.
3. Measure between the inside edges of every other stud
as shown below.
FIG. 1

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION - THRU-THE-WALL (CONT.)
13
Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following
dimensions depending on your model (FIG. 1 & 2).
WIDTH “X” = inside model plus twice the thickness of the
framing material used.
HEIGHT “Y” = inside model height plus twice the thickness
of framing material used.
4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions of
your model listed above (Measure twice). The frame
depth should be the same as the wall thickness. Fill in
extra space from the opening to the studs with wood
spacers as shown below.
5. Nail the spacers to the studs. They should be flush with
the dry wall.
NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2” or more, add aluminum
flashing over the bottom of the frame opening to assure
water is unable to enter the area between the inner and
outer wall.
Prepare and Install the Cabinet
1. Slide the chassis from the cabinet. Refer back to the
REMOVE CHASSIS instructions and FIG. 1-6 in the
WINDOW MOUNTING SECTION.
2. Place the cabinet into the opening with the bottom rail
resting firmly on the bottom board of the wood frame.
3. Position the cabinet so it is tilted properly for water re-
moval as seen below.
4. Secure the bottom rail to the wood frame with two large
1” (2.5 cm) long wood screws as shown below.

Refer to the SUPPORT BRACKET ASSEMBLY in the
WINDOW MOUNTING section to assemble the support
brackets. A wooden strip nailed to the outside wall should
be used in conjunction with the angled sill support brack-
ets.
5. Screw or nail the cabinet to the wooden frame using
shims if the frame is oversized, to eliminate possible
noise. Remember to maintain proper slope for water
elimination.
6. Install the chassis into the cabinet by following the
steps described in the WINDOW MOUNTING section.
OPTIONAL: Caulking and installation of the trim on the
interior wall may be done if desired. Caulk the openings
around the top and sides of the cabinet and all sides of the
wood sleeve to the opening.
NOTE: See the WINDOW MOUNTING instructions for the
bottom rail seal location.
MASONRY CONSTRUCTION
1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wall similar
to the frame construction (refer to the THRU-THE-
WALL installation for a wall thickness greater than 8
1/2”)..
2. Secure the cabinet in place using masonry nails, or
masonry anchor screws. Or, build a frame using the
instructions found in the THRU-THE-WALL installation
section.
3. Make sure the masonry above the cabinet is supported
well. Use the existing holes in the cabinet or additional
drilled holes to fasten the cabinet at various positions.
Make sure that the side louvers are clear of any ob-
structions.
4. Install the exterior cabinet support brackets according
to the SUPPORT BRACKET INSTALLATION instruc-
tions in the THRU-THE-WALL installation section.
Caulk or flash with aluminum if needed. This will pro-
vide a tight seal around the top and sides of the cabi-
net.
5. For a more aesthetically pleasing installation, apply
wood trim molding around the sides of the cabinet with-
out obstructing the side louvers.

The air filter should be checked at least once
every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped
particles and dust can build up in the filter and
may decrease airflow as well as cause the
cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air
filter:
1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the in-
dents of the filter door on the front of the unit.
(See FIG. 13)
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-
tly shake the filter to remove excess water.
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it
into the air conditioner.
4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and
other particles.
Wear and Tear
To minimize wear and tear on the air condi-
tioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before
changing modes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating and the circuit
breaker from tripping.
Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-
free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap.
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe
dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on
the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth
before wiping around the controls. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
Winter Storage
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use
for an extended period of time, remove it care-
fully from the window according to the installation
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in
the original box
.
