GENERAL
SAFETY FIRST
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this Job Aid and on the appliance. Always
read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance
of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
Check the location where the air conditioner
will be installed. Proper installation is your
responsibility. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation.
The location should provide:
• A grounded electrical outlet within 4 ft. (122
cm) of the window. Do not use an extension
cord.
Air Conditioner Size A B
5000 to 6000 BTUs 25″ to 38″ 16″
(63.5 cm to (40.6 cm)
96.5 cm)
Handle the air conditioner with care. Watch out
for the sharp metal fins on the rear coils.
• Free movement of air to rooms to be cooled.
• A large enough opening for the air conditioner. Installation parts are supplied for
double-hung windows (some models) up to
38 in. (96.5 cm) wide.
• Adequate wall support for the weight of the
air conditioner. The air conditioner weighs
between 56 lbs. (25 kg) and 80 Ibs. (36 kg).
Do not install the air conditioner in an area
where the front panel will be exposed to heat
sources that will raise the panel surface temperature above 120°F (50°C).
Be sure the air conditioner does not fall out of
the opening during installation or removal.
The air conditioner should be placed no more
than 4 ft. (122 cm) from a grounded outlet.
1. Center the air conditioner in the window.
Check that the lower rail of the air conditioner is behind and against the back side
of the window seal, then lower the window
sash (A) to hold the cabinet in place. Do
not block the louvers in the front panel, or
block the openings on the outside of the air
conditioner.
2-1
2. Make sure that the back of the air conditioner cabinet is tilted down so that water
will run to the outside. The tilt should be
about 1/2 bubble (B) on a spirit level. If the
cabinet is not properly positioned, reposition or shim it to provide the proper tilt.
3. Pull the left curtain (D) out and fit it into the
window channel (E).
4. Install the right curtain in the same manner
as the left curtain. NOTE: If the air conditioner does not have side curtains, fill
spaces with a suitable material.
7. Mount the window-lock bracket (H) on top
of lower window and against upper window sash (I). Use a 3/32″ drill bit to drill a
starter hole through the hole in the bracket.
5. Secure the left curtain with one of the
round-head screws (F) to the window channel. If desired, use alternate hole (G) at the
top of the curtain to secure it to the window
channel (see the illustration at the top of
the next column).
6. Fasten the right curtain to the window
channel in the same manner as the left
curtain.
8. Insert foam seal (K) behind the top of the
lower window sash (J), and against the
glass of the upper window.
9. Plug the power cord into an appropriate
AC outlet.
