2. Pick the right window.
First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a
window that will allow the air-conditioned
air to
flow freely and directly into the room(s) you
want cooled. Remember,
it's difficult to move
air around corners. Choose a window that is
also near an electrical outlet. (See "Electrical
Requirements"
on pages 3-7 for receptacle
and wiring needs.) Do not use an extension
cord.
The window in which you place your air
conditioner should have an opening of at least
25 inches in width and at least 16 inches in
height. Standard installation parts are supplied
for double-hung
sash windows up to 38 inches
in width.
3. Remove front panel by pushing top of panel
down and out. This protects the panel from
damage and makes the air conditioner easier
to handle during installation.
4. Center air conditioner
in window.
Rear of
unit must be raised slightly to position lower
rail of air conditioner behind and up against
back side of window sill. Firmly lower the
window sash behind the top mounting
channel.
NOTE: Do not block air entry into the side
louvers of the cabinet.
I
Be sure the cabinet
window
during
installation.
5. Leveling
air conditioner
is not required in a
normal installation. The proper slope is
designed into the unit. However, be sure you
have approximately
l/2 bubble (l/4") down-
ward tilt to the outside for proper water
drainage. If necessary,
reposition or shim
cabinet to provide the proper tilt or side-to-side
leveling.
