Whirlpool ACS072XE Air Conditioner User Manual


 
Installing in a casement window
Since styles and sizes of casement windows
vary widely, it is advisable to have the air
conditioner installed by someone skilled in
this type of installation. Your appliance
dealer can recommend or supply qualified
people to install your air conditioner.
1. Closed or stationary windows: Install
unit in stationary sash to avoid crank
handles or window latches. If unit is to be
installed in or next to a movable sash, it
may be necessary to remove catch,
handle, or both. Remove crank handle
and secure window in closed position.
Remove glass panes and horizontal
mountings to a height sufficient to
mount unit.
3. A filler panel will be required at the side of
the air conditioner when installed in win-
dows having width greater than 15W.
Filler panel should be made from %” thick
wood securely anchored to one side of
the opening so that a 15%” wide opening
is provided. The filler panel should run the
full length of the window. Paint to suit.
4. Install the air conditioner in the same
manner as described for sliding
windows.(See “Installing in a sliding
window” on page 9.)
2. Open window frame: Remove crank
mechanism and catch handles. Fold the
window sash back against the exterior
wall of the building and secure, or
remove completely where possible.
Do not block air circulation to the
outside louvers.
