Cut the seal foam(adherent type) into proper length. Then stick the seal foam at the lower part of the window frame. Your air conditioner is designed to install in standard double hung windows with opening widths of 24 to 40 inches (609 mm to 1016 mm) (FIG. 4A & FIG. 4B)
Lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 18.2 inches (462 mm ). Side louvers and the rear of the air conditioner 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.
