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
air conditioner in stationary sash to
avoid crank handles or window latches.
If air conditioner 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 air conditioner.
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.
3. A filler panel will be required at the
side of the air conditioner when
installed in windows having width
greater than 15-W”. Filler panel
should be made from 3/4”-thick wood
securely anchored to one side of the
opening so that a 15-lR”-wide opening
is provided. The filler panel should run
the full length of the window.
4. Install the air conditioner in the same
manner as described for sliding
windows. (See “Installing in a sliding
window” on page 8.)
Installing in a wood sliding or wood
casement window
1. For a wood casement window, it is
necessary to construct a frame, using

15-lR”-wide opening.
2. Paint the frame and fasten it securely,
sealing it into the window opening.
3. Install the air conditioner into the frame
following procedures for metal sliding
and casement windows. (See “Installing
in a sliding window” on page 8.)
