Installation Instructions
ITI WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
• These instructions are for a standard
double-hung window. You will need to
modify them for other types of windows.

If the sill support
bolts do not contact the window sill, or
if you have a window without a sill, you
must order accessory kit RAK87 to
properly install this air conditioner.
Call 800.626.2002 or visit ge.com.
• The air conditioner can be installed
without the accordion panels if needed
to fit in a narrow window. See the
window opening dimensions.
• All supporting parts must be secured
to firm wood, masonry or metal.

D-I STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and
will keep it from draining properly. To adjust
for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.
WOOD PIECES -
WIDTH: 2"
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the
window frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness,
place a piece of wood on the sill to make
it 1/2" higher than the top of the storm
window frame or the vinyl frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws
provided by the installer.
