2. 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 is also near an electrical outlet. (See
“Electrical Requirements” on pages 3-7 for
receptacle and wiring needs.) Do not use an
extension cord.
Inspect the condition of the window where
your air conditioner will be installed. Be sure it
will support the weight of the air conditioner.
The window in which you place your air
conditioner should have an opening of at least
63.5 cm (25”) in width and at least 40.6 cm
(16”) in height. Standard installation parts are
supplied for double-hung sash windows up to
96.5 cm (36”) in width.
3. Remove front panel by pushing top of panel
down and out. This protects the panel from
damage and makes the air conditioner easier
to handle during installation. Handle the air
conditioner with care. Watch out for the sharp
metal fins on the front and rear coils.

window sash behind the top mounting
channel.
NOTE: Do not block air entry into the side
louvers of the cabinet.
BE SURE THE CABINET DOES NOT FALL OUT
OF THE WINDOW DURING INSTALLATION.
5. Leveling air conditioner is not required in a
normal installation. The proper slope is
designed into the unit. However, be sure you
have approximately ‘/z bubble (6 mm [‘L”])
downward tilt to the outside for proper water
drainage. If necessary, reposition or shim
cabinet to provide the proper tilt or side-to-side
leveling.

4. Slide unit out of cabinet. First, disconnect
the green ground wire at the left-front corner of
base of unit by removing retaining screw (save
screw for reuse in step 14). Now slide unit out
of cabinet by pulling out on handle at base
of unit.
5. Attach seal strips to cabinet. Place 9.5 mm
(3/g”)-wide self-adhesive seal strip on window
side of bottom flange. Now, starting at the
lower corner of the cabinet, apply 9.5 mm
(%‘I)-wide seal strips over the center line of the
pre-drilled holes for one of the side mounting
angles, over the center line of pre-drilled holes
for the top mounting channel, and over the
center line of pre-drilled holes for the other
side mounting angle.

6. Attach side mounting angles to the sides of
the cabinet by using 4 hex-head sheet metal
screws. Punch holes in seal strip before
driving screws. Be sure flange of each side
mounting angle faces inside. Now attach top
mounting angle to cabinet by using 3 hex-
head sheet metal screws. Again, be sure
flange is facing inside.

7. Measure and cut filler board to proper sizes.
First, measure the distance from inside one
window channel to the inside of the other
channel and subtract 6.4 mm (W). Now
subtract the width of the air conditioner and
divide by 2. This will give you the width to cut
each filler board. Be sure to cut the filler board
across the mid-section of its longest measurement. Because the filler boards will be equal in
width, they will automatically center your air
conditioner in the window.
6. Apply seal strips and attach filler boards.
Determine which will be your left and right filler
boards. The holes on each board should align
f
with the holes in the side mounting angles.
Each filler board should also extend about
1.3 cm (X1’) above the top edge of the air
conditioner cabinet. Now apply 9.5 mm
@“)-wide seal strips on the room side of each
filler board along the bottom and window
channel edges. Now attach the filler boards to
the side mounting angles with 4 round-head
sheet metal screws. Tighten the screws only
loosely, so the filler boards can be moved
back and forth.
9. Insert side mounting slides all the way into
the top mounting channel.

The foam blocks provided are to hold
filler board tight against window
channel. Cut block 6.4 mm (‘A”) wider
than channel and wedge into place.

10. Place cabinet in window by turning cabinet
to one side to get one filler board into window
channel. Now maneuver other filler board into
window channel. Reaching through window
opening, push filler boards from outside as
far toward you as they will go. Extend the
side mounting slides outward into the window
channels on both sides. Pull the cabinet
toward you to position the side mounting
slides as far forward in the window channels
as possible. Now, mark and drill a pilot hole
(2.4 mm [3/z”]) in each side mounting slide for
the wood screws. The screws are used to
secure the side mounting channels into the
window channels. Be sure to use the foam
blocks that are provided.
BE SURE THE CABINET DOES NOT FALL
OUT OF WINDOW.
11. Lower window and level air conditioner.
Lower the window firmly behind window
gasket. Leveling the cabinet is not required in
a normal installation since the proper slope is
designed into the product. However, be sure
you have approximately a I/Z bubble (6.4 mm
[%“I) downward tilt to the outside for proper
water drainage. If necessary, reposition or
shim cabinet to provide the proper tilt or sideto-side leveling. Now, tighten all 4 filler board
screws. Be sure cabinet bottom flange is
against rear of window sill for proper seal.
Finally, make 2 pilot holes (2.4 mm [XC]) into
the window sill, using the holes in the cabinet
as a guide. Use 2 wood screws to secure the
bottom of the cabinet to the window sill.

12. Install window rail seal and window lock
bracket and drain cup. Press foam meeting
rail seal into place and cut to proper length.
Make a mark and drill a pilot hole 2.4 mm
(3/~~), then install lock bracket using a wood
screw. Seal small openings around installation with gum-type sealer.
NOTE: Window lock bracket must be installed
at all times to be sure air conditioner does not
fall out of window. Remove only when you
wish to remove air conditioner from window.
13. Install plastic drain-cup spout into hole at
rear of cabinet. Spout should be facing
downward through hole.
OPTIONAL: During high humidity, condensate
may drip from the outside of your air conditioner
onto the ground below. If your air conditioner is
installed where this is undesirable, you can direct
the water to a more suitable spot by simply
attaching a 15.9 mm (78”) inside-diameter, thinwalled hose to the drain spout at rear of cabinet.
14. Insert air conditioner into cabinet. Slide
unit all the way into the cabinet. Do not push
against sharp fins and plastic parts.
Attach green ground wire to the left-front
corner of unit base by using ground wire
screw.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Attach the ground wire to the cabinet
during installation.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
15. Attach front panel by placing bottom edge
on clips and pushing top down, then in
and up.
16
Through-the-wall installation
It is the responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have this product installed by a
qualified technician familiar with through-thewall installation.
OR
If you choose to install the air conditioner
yourself, read all installation instructions, as well
as the electrical requirements and operating
instructions, before installing your unit. This will
help to avoid any installation problems and will
help ensure trouble-free performance of your
new air conditioner. Your air conditioner must be
installed according to all applicable codes and
ordinances.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two people to move air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
NOTE: Do not install the air conditioner where
the plastic cabinet front will be exposed to a heat
source that raises the surface temperature above
49°C (120°F).
1. Pick the right wall. First, decide what room(s)
you want to cool. Then choose a wall 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 location that is also near
an electrical outlet. (See “Electrical Requirements” on pages 3-7 for receptacle and wiring
needs.) Do not use an extension cord.
Inspect the condition of the window where
your air conditioner will be installed. Be sure it
will support the weight of the air conditioner.
