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.

double hung windows with actual opening

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.
