NOTE: Siding-protection board should be long enough
to span 2 wall studs.
7. Measure distance from the top of platform assembly
to top of window opening. Subtract 20 1/2 to
20 5/8-inches. Mark this measurement on the plastic
window panel, along the longer side.
8. Clamp plastic window panel between a board and
work table, cut along the line with a fine tooth saw.
Remove any burrs with a file.
9. Fasten side channels to unit using 3 screws per
channel. Start with the first screw at the top of the
channel. Verify hook ends of the channels face
toward back of the unit.
10. Slide plastic window panel into panel frame, with
smooth side to the room. Slide panel frame assembly
into side channels of the air conditioner cabinet.
Verify plastic window panel is firmly enclosed on all
sides by retainer grooves.
11. Cut side channel seal into 2 equal lengths. Remove
protective backing and apply to rear side of cabinet
side channels, starting just below panel frame
assembly. Pinch off excess length so the seal is even
with the bottom of cabinet side channel.
12. Remove front panel frame and filter. Remove 2
screws securing front panel frame in place. Press
down on top edge of front panel frame, tilt forward,
