INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Please read ALL instructions before installing. Two people are recommended to install this product.
If a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before
installing the unit.
1. Check window opening size- The mounting
parts furnished with this air conditioner are made
to install in a wooden sill, double-hung window.
The standard parts are for window dimensions
listed above. Open sash to a minimum of 19 inches
(483 mm). See Fig. 1.
2. Check condition of window- All wood parts of
window MUST be in good shape and able to firmly
hold the needed screws. If not, make repairs
before installing unit.
3. Check your storm windows- If your storm
window frame does not allow the clearance
required, correct by adding a piece of wood as
shown in Fig. 2,or by removing storm window while
room air conditioner is being installed.
4. Check for anything that could block airflow-
Check area outside of window for things such as
shrubs, trees, or awnings. Inside, be sure furniture,
drapes, or blinds will not stop proper airflow.
5. Check the available electrical service- Power
supply MUST be the same as that shown on the
unit serial nameplate. Power cord is 48 inches
long. Be sure you have an outlet near. DO NOT
use an extension cord.
6. Carefully unpack the air conditioner- Remove
all packaging material. Cover the floor during
installation to prevent damage. Two people should
be used to move and install unit.
