ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD
If changing and properly grounding the wall
receptacle is impossible and where local codes
permit (consult your electrical inspector), a
temporary adapter may be plugged into the
existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the
3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,
HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounded
eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle
cover plate screw and trom this same screw, you
must connect a separate copper ground wire
(#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.*
See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply
pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until

installing your air conditioner. A normal
installation can be made with a screwdriver,
small level, pocket knife, tape measure and a
drill with 3/32” drill bit.

Pick the right window. First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a
window that will allow the air-conditioned
air to flow freely and directly into the room(s)
you want cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to
move air around corners. Choose a window
that’s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer to
the ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT pages
for type of receptacle and wiring needed.)
Do not use an extension cord. The window in
which you place your air conditioner should
have an opening of at least 25 inches in width
and at least 16 inches in height (see Figure 6).
Standard installation parts are supplied for
double-hung sash windows up to 38 inches in
width.
3
l
Remove front panel by pushing it down and
pulling toward you (see Figure 7). This protects the panel from damage and makes the
air conditioner easier to handle during installation.
5
l
Leveling air conditioner is not required in a
normal installation. The proper slope is
designed into the product. However, be sure
you have approximately a one-half bubble
(1/“) downward tilt to the outside for proper
water drainage (see Figure 9). If necessary,
reposition or shim cabinet to provide the
proper tilt or side-to-side leveling
6
l
Pull out sliding curtains while holding air
conditioner in window. Extend curtains on
both sides until they engage window channels.
Pulling slightly inward allows curtains to slide
easily. Mark and make 3/32” pilot holes
before installing thumb screws in side handles
of curtains (see Figure 10). Or, if space is a
problem, use holes in top flanges of curtains.
(CAUTION: BE SURE UNIT DOES NOT
FALL OUT OF WINDOW.)
4
l
Center air conditioner in window. Rear of
unit must be raised slightly to position lower
rail of air conditioner behind and up against
back side of window sill ( see Figure 8).
CAUTION: BE SURE UNIT DOES NOT
FALL OUT OF WINDOW.) Lower the
window sash firmly behind the top mounting
channel.
7
l
Install window rail seal and window lock
bracket. Press foam window seal into place
and cut to proper length (see Figure 11).
