INSTALLATION  
INSTALLING THE UNIT IN A SLIDING WINDOW  
1. Attach support brace to platform as shown.  
Use adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to complete  
assembly. Choose slot and adjustment bolt hole  
locations that will create a 45 degree angle between  
platform and support brace. Try assembly in the  
window to determine if platform will rest properly, and  
allow proper slope (3/16-inch lower on outside).  
NOTE: If you are planning to use a siding protection  
board (see Step 5) on the outside of your  
house, hold board in place when testing assembly in  
window.  
2. Measure, and lightly mark a line 8-11/16 inches  
from window jamb.  
NOTE: If any sash stop protrudes more than 1  
inch from the side window jambs, the 8-11/16-inch  
measurement must be increased accordingly.  
Screen and storm window frames may also require  
adjustments to the measurement.  
3. Center platform assembly on the line with inside  
platform tab pressed against inside edge of window  
track. Using the holes in the platform as a guide,  
mark and drill two 9/64-inch diameter holes. Drill  
holes in either track or stool.  
CAUTION  
Property Damage Hazard—Failure to adhere  
to the following precautions could result in  
damage to window or the air conditioner. Make

INSTALLATION—CASEMENT  
INSTALLING THE UNIT IN A CASEMENT WINDOW  
NOTE: Open the window the maximum amount to allow for clearance of the cabinet. The crank handle  
should be removed to allow the platform to be fastened to the jamb. If the window cannot open far enough  
(more than 15-1/2 inches) for the cabinet to clear the window, remove the window entirely by drilling out the  
rivets. Bolts can serve as the pivots in the future.  
To avoid crank handle and window clearance problems, the unit can be installed in a stationary sash section.  
However, the horizontal mullion and the 2 glass panels must be removed before installation.  
1. Attach support brace to platform as shown. Use  
the adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to complete  
the assembly. Choose the slot and adjustment bolt  
hole locations that will create a 45 degree 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 (3/16-  
inch lower on outside).  
NOTE: If you are planning to use a siding protec-  
tion board (see Step 6) on the outside of your  
house, hold the board in place when testing the  
assembly in the window.  
2. Drill a 9/64-inch diameter pilot hole in the  
window jamb an equal distance from each side of the  
jamb, and 3/16-inch up from the window sill. If the  
hole coincides with the window lever slot in the jamb  
bottom, an additional hole will have to be drilled  
through the platform edge and the window jamb to  
miss this slot.  
3. Peel off the protective backing from the track  
seal, and stick the seal to the window sill on the  
outside of the bottom jamb.  
4. Screw the platform assembly to the window  
jamb through the pilot hole you drilled in Step 2. Use  
a #8x3/4-inch self-threading screw.

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.

13. Place the air conditioner in the window  
opening as shown to the right. It should sit  
on the platform assembly so that the window  
panel frame, and the cabinet side channels are  
against the top and side window jambs. Side  
channels should overlap side window jambs  
equally.  
14. Drill two 9/64-inch diameter pilot holes in  
the top window jamb in line with the partially  
plugged holes in the panel frame. Secure the  
panel fame to the window jamb with two #8-  
32x3/4-inch self-threading screws. If additional  
holding is necessary, two screws may be used  
on the sides of the panel frame as well.  
15. Drill two screw-clearance holes in the cabi-  
net side channels (near bottom) and two 9/64-  
inch diameter pilot holes in the side window  
jambs. Secure the cabinet side channels to the  
window jambs with two #8-32x3/4-inch self-  
threading screws. When doing this, be careful  
not to twist the side channel seals with the  
screws.  
NOTE: Inserting screws will prevent the air  
conditioner from being pushed into the room.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER  
Cabinet Cleaning  
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:  
CARE AND CLEANING  
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new  
and to minimize dust build up.  
Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or  
a fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of  
the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-  
free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in  
a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap.  
Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe  
dry.  
Air Filter Cleaning  
The air filter should be checked at least once  
every month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped  
particles and dust can build up in the filter and  
may decrease airflow as well as cause the  
cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air  
filter:  
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on  
the cabinet front.  
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth  
before wiping around the controls. Excess  
water in or around the controls may cause  
damage to the air conditioner.  
1. Remove the filter grasping the center and  
pulling up and out (See FIG. 13)  
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and  
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-  
tly shake the filter to remove excess water.  
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it  
into the air conditioner.  
Energy Saving Ideas  
Do not block the air flow inside with blinds,  
curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,  
enclosures, or other buildings.  
The capacity of the room air conditioner must  
fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory  
operation.  
Install the room air conditioner on the shady  
side of your home. A window that faces North  
is best because it receives the least amount  
of sun exposure.  
4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may  
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and  
other particles.  
FIG. 13  
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall  
registers so cool air does not escape.  
Keep blinds and drapes closed for cooling  
and open for heating.  
Clean the air filter as recommended in the  
“care and cleaning” section.  
Proper insulation and weather stripping in  
your home will help limit cool air loss.  
External house shading with trees, plants, or  
awnings helps reduce the air conditioner’s  
work load.  
Wear and Tear  
To minimize wear and tear on the air condi-  
tioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before  
changing modes. This will help prevent the  
compressor from overheating and the circuit  
breaker from tripping.  
Operate heat producing appliances during the  
coolest part of the day. Such as a dish-  
washer, oven, or computer.  
Winter Storage  
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use  
for an extended period of time, remove it care-  
fully from the window according to the installation  
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in  
the original box.
