Installation Tips

For wood=frame casement windows: It may be necessary to construct a frame, using at least

1" thick wood, with a 15-1/2" wide opening.

For brick or cement building construction: It may be necessary to put a wood stool strip under air

conditioner, for mounting purposes as shown FIG. 2.

Failure to adhere to the following precautions could result in personal injury and product damage.

• Because this unit weighs about 60 to 80 pounds, it is recommended that you have someone help you when

installing your new unit, and that you both use proper lifting techniques. Inspect the condition of the window where unit will be installed. Be sure it will support the weight of the unit. This appliance must be installed according to all applicable codes and ordinances. Handle air conditioner with care. AVOID sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.

Make sure your air conditioner does not fall during installation. Do not use water collected in the unit for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.
