How to Install the Unit
1
To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the
unit is installed securely and firmly.
2
Install the unit out of direct sunlight.
3
There should be no obstacles, such as a
fence or wall, within 20" from the back of the
cabinet because it will prevent heat radiation
of the condenser. Restriction of outside air will
greatly reduce the cooling efficiency of the air
conditioner.
Cooled air
CAUTION
• DO NOT cover or block any of the side and top
louvers. All side louvers of the cabinet must
remain exposed to the outside of the structure
and unobstructed.
4
Install the unit slightly tilted so the back is
slightly lower than the front (about 1/4"). This
will force condensed water to flow to the
outside.
5
Install the unit with the bottom between
30"~ 60" above the floor level.
Window Requirements
• This unit is designed for installation in standard
double hung windows with actual opening
widths from 22" to 36".
The top and bottom window sashes must open
sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of
13" from the bottom of the upper sash to the
inside sill.

NOTE
• All supporting parts should be secured to firm
wood, masonry, vinyl, fiberglass, or metal.
• This product is a window air conditioner. As
such, a standard single-hung or double-hung
window is required for proper installation. Non-
window installations, including using sleeves or
wall openings, and other installation methods
are not recommended.
Storm Window Requirements
1
Windows that include a storm window frame
may prevent the air conditioner from tilting
down toward the outside to drain properly. For
proper drainage, attach a 1" x 2" piece of wood
to the inner sill, trimmed to a length which fits
inside the window frame. The top of the wood
shim must be at least 3/4" higher than the top
of the storm window frame. Attach the wood
securely to the sill with nails or screws.
2
If necessary, attach another 1" x 2" wood strip
flush against the back of the inner sill. This will
raise the L bracket, as shown in the drawing.
