NOTE: The height measurement must be of an
unobstructed opening above the mounting
platform. In some cases, due to a variety of stop
and track arrangements, the above dimensions
may vary slightly. If necessary, the installation
can be made by altering the window jambs.
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 a mating 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.

Choosing a proper window location.
• Choose a window that allows the cooled air to flow
freely and directly into the room(s) wishing to cool.
Remember, it is difficult to move air around corners.
Also, choose a window that is within 6 feet of an
electrical outlet.

Installing Unit in a Sliding Window

1. Attach support brace to platform. Use adjustment bolt
and hex flange nut to complete the assembly.
Choose the slot and adjustment bolt hole locations
that will create a 45° angle between the platform and
support brace.
• Place assembly in the window to determine
platform will rest properly, allow for proper sloping (
3/16-inch lower on outside).
NOTE: If planning to use a siding-protection board on
the outside of your house, hold the board in
place while testing assembly in the window.
