Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard
) 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.

To help avoid any installation problems and to
help ensure trouble-free performance of your new
air conditioner, read these installation instruc-
tions, as well as your operating instructions and
electrical requirements before installing your unit.
Personal Injury and Product Damage
Hazard
l Because this air conditioner weighs about
75 to 125 pounds, it is recommended that
you have someone help you install your
new unit and that you both use proper
lifting techniques.
. Inspect the condition of the window
where the air conditioner will be installed.
Be sure it will support the weight of the
unit.
. This appliance must be installed accord-
ing to all applicable codes and ordi-
nances.
l Handle the air conditioner with care.
Watch out for the sharp metal fins on the
front and rear coils.
. Be sure your air conditioner does not fall
during installation.
. Do not use the water collected in unit for
drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury or product
damage.
1. Unpack accessory parts before installing
your air conditioner. Make sure you have all
the necessary parts. A normal installation can
be made with a screwdriver, small level,
pocket knife, tape measure, a drill and 3/32”
drill bit.

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. Choose a window that is
also near an electrical outlet. (See “Electrical
Requirements” on pages 3-7 for receptacle
and wiring needs.) Do not use an extension
cord.
The window in which you place your air
conditioner should have an opening of at least
25 inches in width and at least 16 inches in
height. Standard installation parts are supplied
for double-hung sash windows up to 38 inches
in width.
3. Remove front panel by pushing top of panel
down and out. This protects the panel from
damage and makes the air conditioner easier
to handle during installation.
4. Center air conditioner in window. Rear of
unit must be raised slightly to position lower
rail of air conditioner behind and up against
back side of window sill. Firmly lower the
window sash behind the top mounting
channel.
NOTE: Do not block air entry into the side
louvers of the cabinet.

Be sure the cabinet
window during installation.
5. Leveling air conditioner is not required in a
normal installation. The proper slope is
designed into the unit. However, be sure you
have approximately l/2 bubble (l/4”) down-
ward tilt to the outside for proper water
drainage. If necessary, reposition or shim
cabinet to provide the proper tilt or side-to-side
leveling.
