Pick the right window.
First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a
window that will allow the air-conditioned air
to flow freely and directly into the room(s)
you want cooled. Remember, it's difficult to
move air around corners. Choose a window
that's also near an electrical outlet. (Refer to
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS for recep-
tacle and wiring needed.)
Do not use an
extension cord.
The window in which you
place your air conditioner should have an
opening of at least 26 inches in width and at
least 20 inches in height (see Figure 13).
Standard installation parts are supplied for
double-hung windows up to 40 inches in
width. For a wide installation up to 54
inches, a special wide-window kit is
available as a parts item.
