2. Choore a proper size window.
l 15% inches minimum width
l 18% inches maximum width
(for casement windows)
l 21%e inches minimum height
(with window panel retainer)
l 20% inches minimum height
(window panel retainer removed)
l 40 inches maximum height
NOTE: The height measurement must be of
an unobstructed opening above the mounting
platform. In some cases, due to a variety of
stop and track arrangements, the above
dimensions may vary slightly. lf necessary, the
installation can be made by altering the
window jambs. (See “Alternate window jamb
applications” on page 12.)
3. Choose the prof~r window location.
Choose a window that will allow the cooled air
to flow freely and directly into the room(s) you

Installing in a sliding window
1. Attach support brece to platform as shown.
Use the adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to
complete the assembly. Choose the slot and
adjustment bott hole locations that will create a
45’ angle between the platform and the
support brace. Try the assembly in the window
to determine if the platform will rest properly
and allow the proper slope (?&inch lower on
outside). Without the proper slope, water could
drip into your home and cause water damage.
NOTE: lf you are planning to use a sidingprotection board (see Step 5) on the outside of
your house, hold the board in place when
testing the assembly in the window.
