WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
• These instructions are for a standard double-hung
window. You will need to modify them for other types
of windows.

accordion panels if needed to fit in a narrow
window. See the window opening dimensions.
• All supporting parts must be secured
to firm wood, masonry or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the
power cord.
• Follow the dimensions in the table and illustration
for your model.

STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will keep it
from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.
WOOD PIECES
WIDTH: 2″
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a
piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2″ higher
than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl
frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the
installer.
