PREPARE
WINDOW FOR
INSTALLATION
Inspect window track, sash, and sill
for its ability to support the weight of
air conditioner.
Measure width between window
moldings to ensure Instant Mount
window mounting kit will fit window
frame. Instant Mount models are
designed for windows from 24” to
34” wide.
Instant Mount kit supplied with unit
is designed for mounting in most
double-hung windows without
storm windows. For installation in
window frame with storm window,
modify sill by adding wood strips to
inner and outer sills. This raises unit
and eliminates interference of storm
window frame.

INSTALL UNIT
IN WINDOW
Place unit in window. Lower sash
until it rests behind front flange of top
rail. Bottom rail must rest behind
window sill. With a level adjust unit to
a 1/2 bubble slope to the rear for
proper water drainage.
Window sash
Curtain assembly cut
away for clarity.
Storm window installation
If storm window frame does not allow
adequate clearance below sill (1/2”
required), remove storm window frame
or create clearance by adding a wood
strip (at least 1 1/2” wide) along entire
width of sill. Fasten wood strip to sill
with at least three countersunk wood
screws (not supplied with kit). This
provides a smooth surface for
mounting air conditioner.
