Also, choose a window that is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet. (See Meeting Electrical Requirements/Receptacle wiring needs.) Do not use an extension cord. 6 foot power cord reach Installing Unit in a Sliding Window 1. Attach support brace to platform as shown.
Apply track seal to window side of track. 4. Peel off protective backing from track seal. Apply seal to room side of window track. Center of seal strip should coincide with the line marked in Step 2. The two screw holes drilled in Step 3 should be directly above seal strip in the inner track. 5. Securely attach a siding-protection board to side of house. NOTE: Siding-protection board should be long enough to span 2 wall studs. Inside wall of house Siding-protection board 6.
10. Clamp plastic window panel between a board and a work table, and cut along cutting line with a fine tooth saw. Remove any burrs with a file. Fastening Side Channels 11. Fasten side channels to the sides of the AC using 3 screws (Item 17) per channel. Start with first screw at top of channel. Make sure hook ends of channels face toward back of unit. 12. Slide plastic window panel into panel frame, with the smooth side to the room. Slide panel frame assembly into side channels of the AC cabinet.
16. Slide inner window sash firmly against side of the cabinet. Make sure not to peel the seal strips from the window track and cabinet side channels. If the panel frame does not fit snugly to the inner window sash, secure the panel frame to the sash with #8x3/4-inch screws, or #8-32x3/4-inch selfthreading screws. Use the partially plugged holes in the panel frame. Drill 1/8-inch pilot holes for the screws. Slide inner window sash firmly against Cabinet. 17.
Installing the Unit in a Casement Window NOTE: Open the window the maximum amount to allow for clearance of the cabinet. The crank handle should be removed to allow the platform to be fastened to the jamb. If the window cannot open far enough (more than 15-1/2 inches) for the cabinet to clear the window, remove the window entirely by drilling out the rivets. Bolts can serve as the pivots in the future.
5. Adjust the platform assembly so that the rear of the air conditioner will be 3/16-inch lower than the front. This ensures proper water drainage from the air conditioner. NOTE: A projection below the base of the air conditioner will require the rear of the platform to be 7/16-inch lower than the front to create the 3/16-inch slant from front to rear. Rear is at least 7/16" lower than front 6. Securely attach a siding-protection board to the side of the house where the platform assembly hit the house.
11. Cut side channel seal into 2 equal lengths. Remove the protective backing and apply it to the rear side of the cabinet side channels, starting just below the panel frame assembly. Pinch off excess length so the seal is even with the bottom of the cabinet side channel. Apply weather seal to side channels just below edge of panel frame. 12. To remove front 1.
