Installation Requirements
See Figure 17. Inspect window track, sash, and sill.
Ensure window will bear weight of air conditioner for
extended period of time. Measure width of window
opening to be sure installation kit will fit. Air conditioner
is designed for windows 28" to 42" wide. Ensure lower
left inside corner of window is within 6' of appropriate
electrical outlet.
NOTE: Installation kit is designed for most double-hung
windows that do not have storm windows
installed. If storm window is installed or if
installation is in mobile home, window sill may

Storm Window Modification
See Figure 18. If storm window frame does not allow
adequate clearance (¼" required) to window sill, remove
frame or create clearance by adding wood strip at 1½"
wide along entire width of sill. Fasten wood strip to sill
with 3 countersunk wood screws (not provided). Use
countersunk screws to ensure a smooth surface for
mounting kit.
Mounting kit can now be installed.
