Some assembly is required for your new air conditioner. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.

1. This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a standard double-hung window with a window width between 23” and 36” (584 mm – 914 mm).
2. The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening. See the window dimensions.
3. The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must allow for 1472” of vertical clearance when open. (See FIG. 1).
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.

NOTE: Save the product packaging and installation instructions for future reference. Store the air conditioner in the product box when not in use for an extended period of time.

Top Rail Assembly
The top rail must be assembled prior to installing the air conditioner in the window
Tools Needed: Phillips Head Screw Driver

| Top Rail Hardware| QTY
---|---|---
| 3/8” Screws| 4
| Top Rail| 1

Attaching the Top Rail to the Air Conditioner

1. Remove the air conditioner from the box and place on a hard and flat surface.
2. Remove top rail from the top of the packaging material as shown in FIG. A.
3. Align the hole in the top rail with those in the top of the unit as shown in FIG. B.
4. Secure the top rail to the unit with the 3/8″ screws as shown in FIG. C.

CAUTION
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front and rear coils.
NOTE: For safety reasons, all 4 screws must be used to attach the top rail.

Accordion Panel Installation
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install the accordion panels on each side.

1. Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.

2. Locate the accordion panels in the box.

3. Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.

4. Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side panel of the air conditioner (See FIG. 3). Do this for each side.

5. Once the accordion panels are slid into place adjust the top and bottom rails of the accordion panels into the top and bottom rails of the air conditioner (See FIG. 4).

Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn will keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill. The board or wood piece should have a depth of at least 1 1/2”. Make sure the board or piece of wood is approximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage. (See FIG. 5).

Placing the Unit Inside a Window

1. Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air conditioner and close the window securely behind the top mounting rail. The air conditioner should be slightly tilted to the outside area.
   NOTE: Check that air conditioner is tilted back approximately %” to 1”. (Tilted about 3° to 4° downward to the outside). If, after proper installation, condensation does not drain from the overflow drain hole during normal use, adjust slope. (See FIG. 6 & FIG. 7) (Suggested to keep a downward slope to let accumulated rain water to drain out from the backside of the unit’s bottom.)

2. Once the alf conditioner is instead, extend Dom te teil and the right accordion panels to the width of the window.

Frame Lock, Sash Lock, and Foam Seal Installation

Tools Needed:
Phillips Head Screw Driver 4

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new, minimize dust build up and for optimal performance.

Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if it needs cleaning. Trapped particles and dust can build up in the filter and may decrease airflow as well as cause the cooling coils to accumulate frost.

To clean the air filter, power the unit off and:

1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the indents of the filter door on the front of the unit. (See FIG.15)
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap or mild detergent 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.

Wear and Tear
To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before changing modes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and the circuit breaker from tripping.

Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:

• Power off and unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front panel of the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or wiped down with a damp cloth in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaner, wax or polish on the front of the cabinet.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.

Winter Storage
