Electrical Shock Hazard
l Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
power supply cord plug - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock.
l Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock or other personal injury.
. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. This could result in a
risk of electrical shock.
A 115volt, 60 Hz AC only, 15 ampere fused elec-
trical supply is required (time delay fuse or time
delay circuit breaker required). It is recommended
that a separate circuit, serving only this appliance,
be provided for models with serial plate amperes
up through 7.5. A separate circuit is required
for models with serial plate amperes of 7.6
through 12.0.
Electricalconnection
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This air conditioner is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding
type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA 70-1987
(or to the latest), and local codes and ordinances.
If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility of the customer to have a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.

Temporary grounding method
If changing and properly grounding the wall recep-
tacle is impossible and where local codes permit
(consult your electrical inspector), a temporary
adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong
wall receptacle to male with the 3-prong power
supply cord. This, however, is not recommended.
If this is done, however, you must connect the
grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall recep-
tacle cover plate screw and from this same screw,
you must connect a separate copper ground wire
(#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.
‘Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not
connect to electrical supply until appliance is
grounded. Do not, under any circumslances,
remove the power supply cord grounding prong.
*Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to
electrical ground and not be interrupted by plas-
tic, rubber or other electrically insulating connec-
tors (including water meter or pump) without
adding a jumper wire at these connections.

If using Item 13 for fastening Item 10 or 12 to metal
or plastic, use ‘h4” dia. or #28 drill.
2. Pick the right window. First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a window
that will allow the air-conditioned air to flow freely
and directly into the room(s) you want cooled.
Remember, it’s difficult to move air around corners.
If the inner sliding window slides to the left, the unit
will be installed on the right. Remove window
screen if there is one. Choose a sliding window
that’s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer to
“Electrical Requirements” on page 3 for type of
receptacle and wiring needed.) Do not use an
extension cord.
The sliding window in which you place your air
conditioner should have an opening of at least
15%” wide and 21%” to 40%” high (see diagram).
For installations up to 62%” high, a special kit (Part
No. 977449) is available. For windows as low as
207/re’:you must install without filler frame and
remove top angle on unit, reinstalling 3 screws into
top of cabinet.
This model may also be installed in steel hinged
casement windows. The steel hinged casement
window mUSt have an opening at least 15%” wide
and no more than 16%” wide.
3. Place shelf In wlndow with tabs down
against the track surface.

4. Attach support bracket (Item 2) loosely to
the underside of shelf with either short or long leg
down and with end of bracket either toward or
away from window, depending upon construction
and depth of wall and window sill (see diagram).
Attach sill bracket (Item 3). Each bracket is
attached using one %6” bolt, nut and washers
(Items 4,4A, 48 and 4C).
5. With the assembled shelf and brackets still
in the window opening, adjust brackets until shelf
is firmly seated and sloping down to outside. If you
use a level, be sure you have % bubble of slope.
Without a level, place the translucent panel (Item
5) on shelf. The top of long side of the panel will be
%6” back from the window line (see diagram).
6. If slope back is correct, tighten all nuts
securely. Install lower track seal (Item 9) shown in
diagram. This track seal has two holes which line
up with matching screw holes in shelf.
7. Install shelf 2%” from side of window open-
ing, securing it in place with screws 6 or 6A.
6. Measure height of opening (see diagram).
Subtract 20%6” from measured height. This will be
the actual height of translucent panel.
9. Measure out the distance determined in
Step 8 and mark it along the 20%” side of translu-
cent panel. Clamp panel between a board and an
appropriate supporting surface close to the mark
and cut with fine tooth saw. Remove burrs.
10. Lift vertically removing panel frame from
unit. Slide translucent panel into groove in frame,
keeping honeycomb side to the face side of frame
(see diagram). Slide frame back into place on unit.
Panel should enter the top angle groove.

12. Place unit in wlndow by resting unit on
shelf. Push unit toward window so side angles are
sealing against the side jamb stop (see diagram).
Slide the opened window sash firmly to make cer-
tain the frame and unit sealing strips are sealing.
13. Using Ye”drill, install locking screws
(Item 7). Use two screws in top jamb and in the
side bottom flanges. If you need additional holding
strength, add two more screws at upper sides of
filler frame (marked ‘A”). Also, two screws can be
added at unit sides (marked “B”). However, if yqu
add screws at “B:’ you must use a %6” drill bit to
predrill through the plastic sides of air conditioner.
14. Lock the sllding sash at bottom using lock
bracket (Item 10) and screw (Item 7) as shown in
diagram at left. Use a ‘/a” drill bit to drill through
track before inserting screw.
15. Cut seal strip (Item 11)to length. Install it
between space of opened sash and glass of the
closed sash (see diagram).

16. For installation In windows having no
slde flanges or with wood stops.
The flanges (top and two sides) on the air condi-
tioner must mate against companion flanges on
the window, not more than 1/16” (.2 cm) in thickness.
On the side with the opened sash, the leading
edge of the sash becomes the flange. On the top
and jamb side of most metal windows, the flange
is there.
In windows where there are no flanges or where
there are thick wood flanges or stops, use metal
angles or wood to provide a stop for the unit
flange. Diagrams at left show three suggested
methods.
17. For installation in steel casement
windows.
Follow Steps 2 and 3 on page 5. NOTE: In
Step 3, the shelf labs must butt to the front of the
bottom angle on the casement (see diagram
at leff).
When Step 3 is finished, follow Steps 4
through 10 on page 6, and Steps 11and 12 on
page 7. Then proceed with the final two para-
graphs in this Step 17, which immediately follow.
Open window at least 16O’to allow room for
unit cabinet. If necessary, remove window crank
handle so the window will open wide enough and
not interfere with shelf against the bottom sill
angle. Tie opened window to the wall or frame to
prevent the window from swinging.
Drill V”” holes in the window jamb top to
line up with holes in filler frame (see diagram at
left). Use two thread cutting screws (Item 13) to
secure unit. If you need additional holding
strength, add screws at the bottom of the unit
side channels (see Step 13 diagram).

5. Check the knurled knob screws to see that
the top mounting brackets (Item 5) are retracted to
the center of the unit. They must not interfere with
the window frame when the unit is installed.
6. Lift the unit into the window opening and
slide it back until the mounting frame comes into
contact with the window frame.
7. Replace the bottom mounting brackets
(Item 3) by hooking the bracket over the window
frame. Replace the top screws (Item 1) in the
mounting bracket, leaving them loose enough so
there is about %6” of play. Tighten the bottom
screws (Item 2). This will pull the unit mounting
flange tigh:ly to the window frame, sealing and
locking the air conditioner in place.
6. Loosen the two knurled knob screws and
slide the top mounting bracket (Item 5) toward the
outside of the unit, engaging the window frame.
Tighten the knurled knob screw in this position.
This will lock the unit in place so it cannot tilt into
the room. The installation is now complete.
9. Optional mounting instructions. If the win-
dow thickness will not allow you to use the four
mounting brackets provided with the unit, remove
brackets and fasten flanges of unit with sheet
metal screws. These screws are not included with
your air conditioner. The window opening for your
installation must not be wider than 15’:
