•  Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty. You MUST use all supplied parts and use proper installation procedures as described in these instructions when installing this air conditioner.

WINDOW REQUIREMENTS

Your air conditioner is designed to install in standard double hung windows with openings of 23 to 36” (584mm to 914mm) wide and at least 14” (356mm) high for 6,000 -8,000 btu units, and 15-1/2” (394mm) high for 10,000 – 12,000 btu units.

REQUIRED TOOLS

NOTE: Save the carton and these Installation Instructions for future reference. The carton is the best way to store unit during winter, or when not in use.

PREPARE THE WINDOW

The lower sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 14” (356mm) high for 6,000 -8,000 btu units, and 15-1/2” (394mm) high for 10,000 – 12,000 btu units. Side louvers and the rear of the AC must have clearance to allow enough airflow through the condenser for heat removal. The rear of the unit must be outdoors, not inside a building or garage.

a. 3/4” or 1/2” Screws (7)
b. Frame Lock (2)
c.  Sash Lock (1)
d. Window Sash Seal Foam (1)
e.  10” x 3/4” x 1-1/2” Weather Stripping (5)
f.  3/8” Screws (4)
g.  Top Rail (1)
h.  R1 Hardware (2)

PREPARE THE AIR CONDITIONER

1. Remove the air conditioner from the carton and place on a flat surface.
2.  Remove top rail (g) and R1 hardware (h) from the packaging material as shown in Figure 5. (R1 hardware is only included for Energy star models.)
3.  Align the holes in the top rail (g) with those in the top of the unit as shown in Figure 6.
4.  Secure the top rail (g) to the unit with the 3/8 Screws (f) as shown in Figure 7.

NOTE: For safety reasons, all four(4) screws MUST be securely fastened.

INSTALL THE ACCORDIAN PANELS

NOTE: Top rail and Sliding Panels at each side are offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16 ). This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels for any reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained.

1.  Place unit on floor, a bench or a table. Hold the Accordion Panel in one hand and gently pull back the center beyond the ends of the top and bottom frame to free the open end. See Figure 8.
2.  Slide the free end “I” section of the panel into the cabinet as shown in Figure 9. Slide the panel all the way down. Be sure to leave enough space to slip the top and bottom of the frame into the rails on the cabinet.
3. Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it sits securely inside the frame channel by making slight adjustments. Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top and bottom rails of the cabinet as seen in Figure 10.
4. Slide the panel all the way in to the top and bottom rails on the unit and repeat for the other side. See Figure 11.

SECURE THE ACCORDION PANELS

1. Keep a firm grip on the air conditioner, and carefully place the unit into the window opening so the bottom of the air conditioner frame is against the window sill (Figure 12). Carefully close the window behind the top
   rail of the unit.
2. Extend the side panels out against the window frame (Figure 13).

INSTALL SUPPORT BRACKET

1. Place the frame lock (b) between the frame extensions and the window sill (See Figure 14). Drive 3/4” (19mm)or 1/2” (12.7mm) locking screws (a) through the frame lock and into the sill.
2.  Drive 3/4” (19mm) 1/2” (12.7mm) locking screws (a) through frame holes into window sash (See Figure 15).
3.  To secure lower sash in place, attach right angle sash lock (c) with 3/4” (19mm) or 1/2” (12.7mm) (a) screw as shown (See Figure 16).
4.  Cut the Window Sash Seal foam (d) and insert it in the space between the upper and lower sashes (See Figure 17)

INSTALL R1 HARDWARE 
In order to minimize air leaks and ensure optimal insulation, it is necessary to install the included R1 hardware (h) to the side curtain. Follow the instructions below.

1.  After the unit is installed to the window, measure the inner width of the side curtain as shown in Figure 18.
2. Mark a line on the provided R1 insulation panel (h)according to a length 1/8 (3mm) less than the measured width in step 1, then cut the R1 insulation panel along the line with a knife or scissors. (See Figure 19.)
3.  Slide the R1 insulation panel(h) into the side curtain, the side with pattern should facing the indoor side. (See Figure 20.)
4.  Repeat for the other side
