INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and
install air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
Check the location where the air conditioner
will be installed. Proper installation is your
responsibility. Make sure you have everything
necessary for correct installation.
The location should provide:
• A grounded electrical outlet within 4 ft. (122
cm) of the window. Do not use an extension
cord.
• Free movement of air to rooms to be cooled.
• A large enough opening for the air condi-
tioner. Installation parts are supplied for
double-hung windows (some models) up to
38 in. (96.5 cm) wide.
• Adequate wall support for the weight of the
air conditioner. The air conditioner weighs
between 56 lbs. (25 kg) and 80 Ibs. (36 kg).
Do not install the air conditioner in an area
where the front panel will be exposed to heat
sources that will raise the panel surface tem-
perature above 120°F (50°C).
Air Conditioner Size
5000 to 6000 BTUs
Handle the air conditioner with care. Watch out
for the sharp metal fins on the rear coils.
Be sure the air conditioner does not fall out of
the opening during installation or removal.
The air conditioner should be placed no more
than 4 ft. (122 cm) from a grounded outlet.
1. Center the air conditioner in the window.
Check that the lower rail of the air condi-
tioner is behind and against the back side
of the window seal, then lower the window
sash (A) to hold the cabinet in place. Do
not block the louvers in the front panel, or
block the openings on the outside of the air
conditioner.
