OPPSK Window Mounting

Your air conditioner is designed to install in standard
double hung windows with opening widths of 23 to 36

inches (584 mm to 914 mm) (FIG. l)
Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical

opening of 13 inches (330mm). Side louvers and the
rear of the AC must have clear air space to allow

enough airflow through the condenser, for heat removal.
The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a

building or garage.

When handling unit, be careful to avoid cuts
from sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on

front and rear coils.

Before installing unit, the top rail must be

assembled on the unit.

use the proper panel for each side.When installed
