WINDOW INSTALLATION
Installation Other Than Flush Mount
In order to install the unit with more of it projecting into the room, it
will be necessary to relocate the top retaining bar, side seals and
bottom tie bar.
1. Check to make sure the cabinet’s outside side louvers will not be
blocked when the unit is moved farther into the room.
2. Remove the top retainer bar, cabinet side seals and bottom tie
bar from the cabinet. Relocate them for the desired projection
into the room.
3. Using the top retaining bar and cabinet side seals as templates,
locate and drill five (5) 7/32” mounting holes on the top of the
cabinet and three (3) on each cabinet side.
4. Use sealing material to fill the holes in the cabinet top and sides
that become exposed when the top retaining bar and cabinet
side seals were relocated.
5. Follow all preceding instructions.
Installing Cabinet in Window (Flush Mount)
1. Attach cabinet side seals to the existing holes in the cabinet using
the six (6) screws supplied (Fig. 3).
2. Open window and mark the center of window sill. Carefully
place cabinet in window and align center mark on the bottom tie
bar with the center mark on the window sill.
3. Close window until it touches behind top retainer bar. Do not
close window so tightly that sliders cannot move. (Do not release
your grip on the cabinet until the lower window sash is in its final
position.) (Fig. 4)
4. Attach the cabinet to the window sill by driving two (2) 1” long
screws through each cabinet track into the window sill (Fig. 5).
5. Loosely attach the sill bracket to the support bracket, using the
carriage bolt and flange nut (Fig. 6).
6. Using 5/8” long machine screw and flange nut, attach the

Through-the-wall Installation
This air conditioner is designed as a slide-out type chassis, making it
possible to install it through-the-wall in both existing and new
construction. We recommend that this type of installation be
performed with professional assistance.
• IMPORTANT: This appliance must be installed according to all
applicable electrical and building codes and ordinances.
• It is recommended that you have help to install your unit and
that you use proper lifting technique to avoid personal injury.
• It is important that you inspect the condition of the wall where
the air conditioner will be installed.
• Be sure the wall can support the weight of the unit.
• All cabinet louvers MUST BE on the outdoor side of the wall. DO
NOT BLOCK SIDE LOUVERS.
• The cabinet must be installed level from side-to-side and with a
downward tilt from inside to outside.
The instructions below are for a typical wall installation. Your
application may vary. Please consult your authorized dealer or
importer before attempting any installation not covered in this
manual.
1. First remove the Decorative front panel and chassis from the
cabinet, then remove top bar from the cabinet.
2. Determine the size of the opening for a wood frame by adding
1/8” to the width and height of the cabinet. Measure height from
top of cabinet to bottom of bar. Add this measurement to the
thickness of wood used to build the frame. This will determine
the size of wall opening needed. Minimum 1” thick lumber is
recommended when building the frame. When determining
finish frame thickness, be sure not to cover side louvers on the
cabinet.
3. Install the finished frame in the wall opening square and level,
nail or screw it securely to the wall and place the cabinet into the
framed wall opening.
4. Make sure cabinet projects into the roomside of the wall 1 1/4”
at the top and 1 1/2” at the bottom to ensure proper tilt and
access to the anti-theft screw, then fasten cabinet to the frame by
drilling twelve (12) 1” wood screws (not supplied) through the
cabinet and into the frame.
If installation is made in a building with brick veneer
construction, a steel angle lintel must be used to support the
bricks above the cabinet.
5. Install a 3/4” X 1 1/2” wood filler strip between the bottom bar
and the interior, caulk both top and bottom of this strip. After
cabinet is installed caulk all openings, inside and outside
between finish frame and cabinet to prevent moisture from
getting to the interior of the wall. Use of flashing (driprail) will
further prevent water from dripping inside the wall.
6. Install chassis into cabinet.

DRAIN INSTALLATION / FILTER CLEANING
Condensate Drain
A condensate drain is provided to divert excess water when air
conditioner is installed over a doorway or sidewalk.
1. Pry cap plug from the condensate drain (located on underside of
bottom pan). Use a 3/8” pipe tap and fully thread the condensate
drain (Fig. 18).
2. Screw a 3/8” pipe fitting into the condensate drain. The fitting
should be protruding approximately 1/2” above the bottom pan
when fully threaded into the condensate drain (Fig. 19).
3. If an open drain source is used to dispose of condensate, plastic or
rubber tubing may be run directly from the pipe fitting to the open
drain source. If closed drain source (internal structural plumbing)
is used, a “P” trap must be between the 3/8” pipe fitting and the
closed drain source (Fig. 20).
Consult your authorized dealer or importer for alternative
installation instructions.
Unit is designed to operate with approximately 1/2” of water
in bottom pan.
Do not remove the cap plug, unless the condensate drain is
