16. For installation In windows having no
slde flanges or with wood stops.
The flanges (top and two sides) on the air condi-
tioner must mate against companion flanges on
the window, not more than
1/16”
(.2 cm) in thickness.
On the side with the opened sash, the leading
edge of the sash becomes the flange. On the top
and jamb side of most metal windows, the flange
is there.
In windows where there are no flanges or where
there are thick wood flanges or stops, use metal
angles or wood to provide a stop for the unit
flange. Diagrams at left show three suggested
methods.
17. For installation in steel casement
windows.
Follow Steps 2 and 3 on page 5. NOTE: In
Step 3, the shelf labs must butt to the front of the
bottom angle on the casement (see diagram
at leff).
When Step 3 is finished, follow Steps 4
through 10 on page 6, and Steps 11 and 12 on
page 7. Then proceed with the final two para-
graphs in this Step 17, which immediately follow.
Open window at least 16O’to allow room for
unit cabinet. If necessary, remove window crank
handle so the window will open wide enough and
not interfere with shelf against the bottom sill
angle. Tie opened window to the wall or frame to
prevent the window from swinging.
Drill V”” holes in the window jamb top to
line up with holes in filler frame (see diagram at
left). Use two thread cutting screws (Item 13) to
secure unit. If you need additional holding
strength, add screws at the bottom of the unit
side channels (see Step 13 diagram).
