Be sure your air conditioner does not fall out of the opening

Metal Casement Window Installation
This air conditioner is designed to fit into most casement-type
windows. As shipped from factory, air conditioner will fit into a
minimum window opening 15 " (39.4 cm) wide and 22" (55.9
cm) high. The preferred method of installation is through a closed
or stationary window. Installation in an open window frame is also
possible where open window can be secured to outside of
building or removed completely.
Closed or stationary window
Install air conditioner in stationary sash to avoid crank handles or
window latches. If air conditioner is to be installed in or next to a
movable sash, it may be necessary to remove catch, handle or
both.
Remove crank handle and secure window in closed position.
Remove glass panes and separating strips to a height
sufficient to mount air conditioner.
Open window frame
1. Remove crank mechanism and catch handles.
2. Fold window sash back against exterior wall of building and
secure, or remove completely where possible.
Wood Casement Window Installation
1. Construct a frame, using at least 1" (2.5 cm) thick wood panel
with a 15 " (39.4 cm) wide opening.
2. Paint frame and fasten it securely, sealing it into window
opening.
If window opening width is greater than 15 " (39.4 cm):
1. Measure from side of window opening 15 " (39.4 cm). From
this point, measure to opposite side of window opening to
find width of filler panel. Measure height of window. Cut a
(19 mm) thick wood filler panel this width and the full height of
the window opening.
