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.

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. 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.
Consult your authorized dealer or importer for alternative installation
instructions.
Caution: Do not drill a hole in bottom pan. Unit is designed to
operate with approximately 1/2” of water in bottom pan.

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.
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)
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.

bottom pan). Use a 3/8” pipe tap and fully thread the condensate
drain (Fig. 20).
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. 21).
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. 22).
Consult your authorized dealer or importer for alternative
installation instructions.
Caution: Do not drill a hole in bottom pan. Unit is designed to
