Escessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install air conditioner. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Window Requirements
1. Air conditioner is factory prepared for installation in standard double hung window (air conditioner cannot be installed in other types of windows without modification, consult with a qualified installation serviceman).
2. Install the air conditioner in a window where there will be enough
clearance around the cabinet to allow ample circulation of air through the unit.
3. All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry or metal.
Unit & Window Size
1. If your air conditioner cabinet is 24 3/4” wide, it will fit window openings 26” to 39” in width. Minimum opening height is 16” from bottom of sash to sill. Removal of both filler panels permits installation in windows with a minimum opening width of 24 5/8”. Use foam seal to fill any openings between the sides of the cabinet and the window stop molding. This size unit requires two leveling brackets (Fig. 3a).
2. If your air conditioner cabinet is 26 1/2” wide, it will fit window
openings 27 7/8” to 40” in width. Minimum opening height is 18” from bottom of sash to sill. Removal of both filler panels permits installation in windows with a minimum opening width of 26 3/4”. Use foam seal to fill any openings between the sides of the cabinet and the window stopmolding. This size unit requires two leveling brackets (Fig. 3b).
Decorative Front Removal
1. Remove the phillips screws on both sides of the cabinet (Fig. 4).
3. Gently pull forward while grasping both sides of the decorative front.

INSTALLATION
(Flush Mount)
1. Attach cabinet side seals to the existing holes in the cabinet using the six (6) screws supplied (Fig. 6).
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 (Fig. 7).
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. 7).
4. Attach the cabinet to the window sill by driving two (2) 1” long screws through each cabinet track into the window sill (Fig. 8).
5. Brackets may be attached to cabinet in either direction for maximum support, depending on the depth of the window sill. Place the leveling bracket with leveling bolt under cabinet and attach to the cabinet with two (2) #8 screws. Tighten screws through cabinet into the smaller holes in the bracket. Placement of bracket and screws to slots on cabinet track will depend on size of the window sill. Position the brackets so bolts will rest securely on window sill (Fig. 8 & 10).
Be sure cabinet maintains an outward pitch. Air conditioner should slant slightly downward on the outside as shown by 1/2 a bubble off on a carpenter’s level. This outward pitch prevents water from entering the room.
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.

hrough-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.
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. (Fig. 17 & 18).
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.(Fig.19)
