INSTALLATION
INSTALL THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE
WINDOW
Carefully lift the air conditioner and slide it into the
open window. Make sure the bottom guide of the air
conditioner drops into the notches of the L brackets.
When the air conditioner drops into the L brackets,
the air conditioner will be centered in window opening
as shown in FIG. 7.
While steadying the air conditioner, carefully bring the
window sash down behind the upper guide of the air
conditioner, as shown in FIG. 8.
El
SECURE THE GUIDE PANELS
Extend the guide panels (ITEM F) to fill the
window opening using 4 screws (ITEM B) to
secure them, as shown in FIG, 9.
INSTALL THE SASH SEAL AND SASH LOCK
Cut the sash seal (ITEM E} to the window width.
Stuff the sash seal between the glass and the
window to prevent air and insects from getting into
the room, as shown in FIG. 9.
Fasten the remaining L bracket on either side of
the window using screw (ITEM A). See FIG. 9
inset. Installing this bracket prevents window from
being raised which may result in unit falling.
IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY
STORM WINDOW FRAME
■ If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2"
wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full
width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick
enough to raise the height of the window sill so that
the unit can be installed without interference from the
the storm window frame. See FIG. 10.
Top of wood strip should be approximately 3/4"
higher than the storm window frame to help
condensation to drain properly to the outside.
• Install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by
1V/ wide and same thickness as first strip) in the
center of the outer sill flush against the back of the
inner sill. Screw the L brackets into this strip.
This will raise the L bracket as shown in FIG. 10.

conditioner, raise the sash, and carefully tilt the air
conditioner backward, draining any condensate
water. Lift the air conditioner from the window and
remove the sash seal from between the windows.
