Choose the proper window location.
Choose a window that allows the cooled air to flow freely and directly
into room(s) you wish to cool. Remember, it is difficult to move air
around corners. Also, choose a window that is within 6 feet of an
electrical outlet as shown (FIG.5). (See Meeting Electrical
Requirements/Receptacle
wiring needs.) Do not use an extension
cord.
Installing
Unit in a Sliding
Window:
_
Attach support
brace to platform as shown (FIG.6). Use adjustment
bolt and hex flange nut to complete assembly. Choose slot and adjustment
bolt hole locations that will create a 45 degree angle between platform and
support brace. Try assembly in the window to determine if platform will rest
properly, and allow proper slope (3/16" lower on out side).

FLANGE
NUT
8-11/16" inches FIG.7
If any sash stop protrudes more than 1" from the side window
jambs, the 8=11/16" measurement must be increased
accordingly (FIG.7). Screen and storm window frames may also
require adjustments to the measurement.
E_ Center platform assembly
on the line with inside platform tab
pressed against inside edge of window track as shown (FIG.8A, FIG.8B).
Using the holes in the platform as a guide, mark and drill two 9/64" diameter
holes. Drill holes in either track or stool.
_Peel
off protective backing from track seal. Apply seal to room side
of window track (FIG.9). Center of seal strip should coincide with the line
marked in Step 5. The two screw holes drilled in Step 6 should be directly
above seal strip in the inner track.
_
Securely attach a siding-protection
board to side of house (FIG.10).
