2. The air conditioner can be installed without the side panels to fit in a narrow window opening. See the window dimensions. If the air conditioner is installed on a window width of 25.39”-28.35” (645-720mm), it must be installed to the right, and the right bracket must be touching the air conditioner (not extended); otherwise, the air conditioner will not operate normally.
3. The lower sash (the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must allow for 14.5” of vertical clearance when open.
4. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
5. The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord. (Electrical outlets only, no power strips or other outlets allowed.)

Note: Store the air conditioner in its product box while not in use.

Suggested Tools for Installation (Not Included)

CAUTION
Heavy object. Team handling is required during the installation process.

Getting Started

Step 1: Unboxing
Carefully remove all packaging and wraps from the air conditioner and its accessories.

CAUTION
Heavy object. Team handling is required during the installation process.

Step 2: Testing
Before installing your AC, let’s test it to make sure it works properly, and your outlet has the proper power level. First, place it on a flat surface, plug it directly into a wall outlet (never use a power strip or other device), and turn it on. Next, use the Mode button on your control panel to change the AC to Cool Mode and press the down arrow to set the temperature to the lowest setting. After 3 minutes, the AC should be blowing cool air. If so, please continue to the next step. If not, see detailed troubleshooting tips at support.tcl.com/us.

Step 3: Applying the Adhesive Foam Seal
Measure the length of the upper window frame, trim the adhesive foam seal to the appropriate length, and apply as shown below.

Step 4: Placing Inside an Open Window
Using team lift, carefully lift the air conditioner and place in the windowsill. Next, close the window, making sure the air conditioner is centered and the bottom rail is flush against the windowsill.

CAUTION
Be careful to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front and rear coils!

Note: The air conditioner should be tilted about 3° to allow for better drainage of condensate and rainwater. Using a level, measure about 1/3 bubble for the correct slant.

Step 5: Securing the Side Brackets
Extend the side brackets from both sides of the air conditioner and secure them to the left and right window frames using four ¾” screws as shown. Make sure to secure to upper screws before securing the lower screws.

Step 6: Securing the Side Panels
Pull the side panels inward to align with the side brackets. Then, extend and snap the side panel into place with the side brackets.

Step 7: Sealing Any Gaps with Modeling Clay (Plasticene)
Fill any gaps and crevices between the side brackets and panels with the included clay material.

Step 8: Securing the Screw into the Top Rail
Secure the ½” screw into the top rail of the air conditioner.

Step 9: Installing the Security Bracket (Recommended)
For security purposes, it is recommended to attach the security bracket to the top of the window using two ½” screws to prevent opening the window from outside. However, the security bracket can be removed to allow you to open the window when desired.

WARNING
To open the window, the unit must be securely fixed using the four screws from step 5. Please verify that the unit is r eliably fixed before opening the window.

Step 10: Filling the Gap Between Sashes
Trim the non-adhesive foam seal to the appropriate length and insert it between the window sashes as shown below.

If AC is Blocked by Storm Window Frame
Add wood as shown above or remove store window frame/obstruction before installing the window air conditioner.

If the Storm Window Frame must remain, be sure the drain holes or slots are not caulked or painted shut. Accumulated rainwater or condensation must be allowed to drain out.
Window Requirements

CAUTION
When opening the window, be sure that the fixed screws are secured properly in place without any objects affecting their attachment to the side brackets and associated window frame to prevent the unit from becoming unstable and falling.

Memory
If the air conditioner is turned off but stays connected to the power, it will resume the previous settings (except the timer setting) when it is turned on again.

Drain Water
This unit was designed to collect moisture from condensation in a collection pan in the base of the unit. The collected water is distributed by the rear fan on to the condenser coil. This aids in the overall efficiency of the unit.
It is normal to hear the water sloshing around when the fan is spinning.

If this behavior is not desired, the drain cap at the rear of the AC can be removed to drain a portion of the water. Doing so may lessen the efficiency of the AC. A minimal amount of water will still remain in the drain pan.

Maintenance

Care and Cleaning
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the unit from any and all power sources to prevent electric shock or fire hazards.

Air Filter
The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning. Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the air filter. Trapped particles and dust can build up over time, which can result in decreased airflow and can cause the coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air filter:

1. Pull the grille out from the indents on both sides at the front and remove the filter inside.
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake the filter to remove excess water.
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it into the air conditioner.

Note: If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles.

Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner’s cabinet:

• Using a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap, wipe down the unit and the front panel. Then, using a clean dampened cloth, make sure to wipe down the unit to remove all excess soap and continue to dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring out excess water from the cloth before wiping round the control. Excess water may damage the unit.

Storage
If you want to store the unit when not in use, we recommend removing the drain plug at the back of the unit and slightly tilting the unit towards the rear to drain any water in the pan in a safe manner. Next, clean the unit and then store it back in the original packaging or box until next use.
