use an extension cord.

3. Choose the proper window location.

Installing 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.

from the window track and cabinet side channels. If

the panel frame does not fit snugly to the inner

window sash, secure the panel frame to the sash

with #8x3/4-inch screws, or #8-32x3/4-inch self-

threading screws. Use the partially plugged holes in

the panel frame. Drill 1/8-inch pilot holes for the

screws.

17. Hook the safety bracket over the base of the

unit and fasten it to the front of the platform

assembly. Use a #8-32x3/4-inch self-threading

screw.

air conditioner (either in or out) after completing the

installation.

18. Stuff the foam seal strip/sash seal between

the vertical sash and the window glass, as shown

right.

19. Use the window locking bracket to lock the

inner window sash to the base of the outer window

sash. Use one #8x3/4-inch screw, or #8-32x3/4-

inch self-threading screw. (Drill 1/8-inch pilot hole).

20. To replace the front

First reconnect the coupler plugs, make the exhaust

control positioned through the front in the proper

location. Gently push the front into position on the

cabinet. It should click into place. Then replace the

retaining screws that holds the panel in place.

Do not push or pull the front panel louvers.

Alternate Window Jamb

Applications

To install in windows having no flanges or wood stops

on the top and side jambs, the channels and panel

frame must fit against a mating flange (or 1/16-inch

max. thick angle) attached to the window jambs.

Figure A shows this angle installed. Figures B & C

show alternate treatments. On the sash side of the

opening, the leading corner of the inner sash

becomes the flange. You can purchase the angle

strip locally.

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-

protection 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. (continued)

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: Aprojection 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. (continued)

length so the seal is even with the bottom of the

cabinet side channel.

12. To remove front

NOTE: DO NOT push or pull air direction louvers.

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 cabinet

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.

Apply weather

seal to side

channels just

below edge of

panel frame.

1. Remove the two front retaining screws from the

front frame.

2. Press firmly on each side of the metal case close

to the front, approximately 2/3 of the way down.

3. While pressing on the sides of the metal case,

gently pull the front out and lift up to release it

from the case.

4. Then release the electrical coupler plug.

16. To replace the front

First reconnect the coupler plugs, make the

exhaust control positioned through the front

in the proper location. Gently push the front

into position on the cabinet. It should click into

place. Then replace the retaining screws that

holds the panel in place.

Do not push or pull the front panel louvers.
