NOTE:

Height measurement must be of a clear opening above mounting platform. In some cases, due to a variety of stop and track arrangements, the above dimensions may vary slightly. If necessary, installation can be made by alternating window jambs. (See Alternate Window Jamb Applications.)

Choose the proper window location. Choose a window that allows the cooled air to flow freely and directly into room(s) you wish to cool. Remember, it is difficult to move air around corners. Also, choose a window that is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet as shown (FIG.5). (See Meeting Electrical Requirements/Receptacle wiring needs.) Do not use an extension cord.
