Requirements/Receptacle wiring needs.) Do not

use an extension cord.

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

IocaUonsthat willcreate a 45 degree angle between

platformand supportbrace. Try assembly in the

window to determine if platform will rest properly,and

allow proper slope (3/16-inch lower on outside).

NOTE: Ifyou are planning to use a siding-

protection board (see Step 5) on the outside of your

house, holdboard in place when testing assembly in

window.

2. Measure, and lightly mark a line 8-11116 Inches

from window Jamb.

NOTE: If any sash stop protrudes more than 1

inchfrom 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 linewith inside

platform tab pressed against inside edge of window

track. Using the holes in the platform as a guide,

mark and drilltwo 9/64-inch diameter holes. Ddll

holes in either track or stool.

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 amating 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 allowthe platformto 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

drillingout the rivets. Bolts can serve as the pivots in

the future.

To avoidcrank handle and window clearance

problems, the unitcan be installed in a stationary

sash section. However, the horizontal mullionand 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 adjustmentbelt

hole locationsthat will create a 45 degree angle

between the platform and the supportbrace. Try the

assembly in the window to determine ifthe platform

will restproperly, and allow the proper slope (3/16-

inchlower on outside).

NOTE: Ifyou are planning to use a siding-

protectionboard (see Step 6) on the outsideof your

house,hold the board in place when testingthe

assembly in the window.

2. Drill a9/64-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.

13. Place the air conditioner in the window

opening as shown to the right. It should siton the

platform assembly so that the window panel frame,

and the cabinet side channels are against the top and

side window jambs. Side channels shouldoverlap

side window jambs equally.

14. Drill two 9/64-Inch diameter pilot holes in the

top window jamb in linewith the partiallyplugged

holesin the panel frame. Secure the panel fame to

the window jamb with two #8-32x3/4-inch self-

threading screws. If additional holdingis 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.
