INSTALLATION—CASEMENT
INSTALLING THE UNIT IN A CASEMENT WINDOW (CONT.)
5. Adjust the platform assembly
so that the rear of
the air conditioner will be 3/16-inch lower than the
front. This ensures proper water drainage from
the air conditioner.
NOTE: A projection below the base of the air
conditioner will require the rear of the platform to be
7/16-inch lower than the front to create the 3/16-
inch slant from front to rear.
6. Securely attach a siding-protection board to the
side of the house where the platform assembly hit
the house. The siding-protection board should be
long enough to span 2 wall studs.
7. Measure the height of the window opening
from the top of the platform assembly. Subtract
20-5/8 inches. Mark this measurement on the
plastic window panel, along the longer side.
8. Clamp the plastic window panel between a
board and a work table, and cut along the cutting
line with a fine tooth saw. Remove any burrs with
a file.
9. Fasten the side channels to the sides of the
unit using three screws (Item 17) per channel.
Make sure hook ends of channels face toward the
back of unit.
10. Slide the plastic window panel into the panel
frame with the smooth side to the outside. Slide
the panel frame assembly into the side channels
of the air conditioner cabinet. Make sure the
plastic window panel is firmly enclosed on all
sides by the retainer grooves.
