2. Pick the right window. First, decide what
room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a
window that will allow the air-conditioned air
to flow freely and directly into the room(s)
you want cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to
move air around corners. Choose a window
that is also near an electrical outlet. (See
“Electrical Requirements” on pages 3-7 for
receptacle and wiring needs.) Do not use an
extension cord.
Inspect the condition of the window where
your air conditioner will be installed. Be sure it
will support the weight of the air conditioner.
The window in which you place your air
conditioner should have an opening of at least
66 cm (26”) in width and at least 45.7 cm (18”)
in height. Standard installation parts are
supplied for double-hung sash windows up
to 101.6 cm (40”) in width.
3. Remove front panel by pushing top of panel
T-l
down and out. This protects the panel from
damage and makes the air conditioner easier
to handle during installation. Handle the air
conditioner with care. Watch out for the sharp
metal fins on the front and rear coils.
4. Slide unit out of cabinet. First, disconnect
the green ground wire at the left-front corner of
base of unit by removing retaining screw (save
screw for reuse in step 14). Now slide unit out
of cabinet by pulling out on handle at base
of unit.

5. Attach seal strips to cabinet. Place 9.5 mm

(%‘I)-wide seal strips over the center line of the
pre-drilled holes for one of the side mounting
angles, over the center line of pre-drilled holes
for the top mounting channel, and over the
center line of pre-drilled holes for the other
