INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Some assembly is required for your new air conditioner. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
1. This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a
FIG. 1
standard double-hung window with a window width
between 23” and 36” (584 mm - 914 mm).
2. The air conditioner can be installed without the
accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening.
See the window dimensions.
3. The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that
moves up and down) must allow for 14.5” of vertical
clearance when open. (See FIG. 1).
4. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood,
masonry, or metal.
5. The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power
cord.
NOTE: Save the product packaging and installation instruc-
tions for future reference. Store the air conditioner in the
product box when not in use for an extended period of time.
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from
the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front
and rear coils.
TOP RAIL INSTALLATION
6
TOP RAIL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Top Rail and the side Sliding Panels are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16”). This I necessary
for proper condensation utilization and drainage. If you are not using the side panels, the rear pitch must still be main-
tained.
1. Remove the backing from the top mounting rail seal strip and attach the seal strip to the bottom of the top rail. Align
along the front edge.
2. Attach the top rail onto the top of the outer case using the four 2/5” screws.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)
Placing the Unit Inside a Normal Window
1. Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom
mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air con-
ditioner and close the window securely behind the top
mounting rail. The air conditioner should be slightly
tilted to the outside area. Use a level; about a 1/3 bub-
ble will be the correct case slant to the outside. (See
FIG. 5 & FIG. 6)
Accordion Panel Installation
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install
the accordion panels on each side.
1. Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.
2. Locate the accordion panels in the box.
3. Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See
FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)
4. To secure the lower sash into place, use the sash lock
and a 3/4” screw as shown below (See FIG. 10)
IF AC is Blocked by a Storm Window
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to
tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the
sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at
least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is ap-
proximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This
will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain-
age. (See FIG. 12).
