Installation Instructions
Continued
The foam blocks provided are to hold
filler board tight against window
channel. Cut block l/4" wilder than
channel and wedge into place.
, Window channel
must be installed on
both sides
10. Place cabinet in window by turning cabinet
to one side to get one filler board into window
channel. Now maneuver other filler board into
window channel. Reaching through window
opening, push filler boards from outside as far
toward you as they will go. Extend the side
mounting slides outward into the window
channels on both sides. Pull the cabinet
toward you to position the side mounting
slides as far forward in the window channels
as possible. Now, mark and drill a pilot hole
(3/32") in each side mounting slide for the
wood screws. The screws are used to secure
the side mounting slides into the window
channels. Be sure to use the foam blocks that
are provided.

11. Lower window and level air conditioner.
Lower the window firmly behind window
gasket. Leveling the cabinet is not required in
a normal installation since the proper slope is
designed into the product. However, be sure
you have approximately a l/2 bubble (l/4")
downward tilt to the outside for proper water
drainage. If necessary, reposition or shim
cabinet to provide the proper tilt or side-to-
side leveling. Now, tighten all 4 filler board
screws. Be sure cabinet bottom flange is
against rear of window sill for proper seal.
Finally, make 2 pilot holes (3/32") into the
window sill, using the holes in the cabinet as
a guide. Use 2 wood screws to secure the
bottom of the cabinet to the window sill.
