Removal From Window - RCA RACM5002 Owner's Manual

3 IF AIR CONDITIONER IS BLOCKED BY STORM WINDOW FRAME
Proper clearance enhances the cooling efficiency of the unit and prevents heat radiation of the condenser.
If storm window presents interference, fasten a 2 wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the
full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window sill so that
the unit can be installed without interference from the storm window frame. See FIG.12.
The top of the wood strip should be approximately 0.75 higher than the storm window frame or wood
strip to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.
Install a second wood strip(approximately 6 long by 1.5 wide and same thickness as first strip) in the
center of the outer sill flush against the back of the inner sill, as shown in FIG.12.
If the distance between storm window frame and wood strip mounted on top of inner sill is more than 1
two of wood strips are not necessary.

REMOVAL FROM WINDOW

window and the air conditioner, and save for reinstallation later. Close the guide panels. Keeping a firm
grip on the air conditioner, raise the sash, and carefully tilt the air conditioner away from you to drain any
condensate water. Remove the air conditioner from the window .
Note: Please note that there is a screw on the left and right side of the air conditioner covered by the curtain
fastening strips. Before disassembling the unit please first take out the curtain fastening strips then loose
