STEP 4. Anchor the side angles (Item 6) by engaging the tabs of the
lower sill plate (See Figure 18, Detail B-2) with the loops of the
side angle. Engage the tabs of the top angle (Item 5) with the
top loops of the side angle (See Figure 18, Detail B-1). Install

Remove Shipping Blocks
STEP 5. Check the window sill and frame to be sure they are in good
STEP 6. CABINET MOUNTING – Raise the lower window 1/4" more
than the height of the cabinet. Carefully slide the cabinet
through the opening until the lower sill plate channel rests
behind the window sill and the top angle rests against the
window (See Figure 19). Center the cabinet within the
opening. Drill three (3) 5/32" diameter pilot holes into window
sill using the holes in the cabinet sill plate as a guide. Install
three (3) #12 x 2" long screws (Item 4) (See Figure 19).
STEP 7. OUTSIDE SUPPORT MOUNTING – Refer to Figures 20 and
21. Assemble the support brackets (Item 1) to the bottom of
the cabinet with four (4) 10-24 1" long screws (Item 2) and four
combination of the elongated holes of the bracket and different
hole locations in the cabinet, to bring the bottom support bracket
pads in contact with the wall. A 1" x 4" or 2" x 4" SPACER
SHOULD BE USED BETWEEN THE WALL AND SUPPORT
THE BRACKETS WHEN INSTALLED ON ALUMINUM OR
VINYL SIDING. Drill 5/32" diameter pilot holes and secure
the brackets to the wall with two (2) 12A x 2" long screws

NOTE: DO NOT LEVEL the cabinet from front to back. Make sure there
is approximately 3/8" to 1/2" slope (1/8 to 1/4 bubble on level)
toward the outside of the house.
Adjust the support brackets to provide an inside-to-outside slope for excess
condensation drainage (Refer to Standard Window Installation, Figures 20
through 24). Tighten all screws.
Alternate support method A: If you have a wide window sill which prevents
you from mounting the b rackets as shown in Figure 23, try the following:
Using the elongated holes and different hole locations in the cabinet,
set the placement of the bracket to support the unit's weight (Figure 23).
Tighten all screws.
Alternate support method B: If the window ledge gap is narrow, try the
as shown in Figure 24. Bend the short piece so it will be vertical when
installed. Adjust the placement as required. Tighten all screws.
