Installation

Filler Panel Installation

1. Place tabbed side of curtain in track on side of air conditioner cabinet, and slide down the track until the curtain is even top and bottom (Fig.1).
2. Slide the filler panel frame onto the air conditioner cabinet using the tracks on the top and bottom of the unit. Slide the frame as close to the air conditioner as possible so that the curtain locks into place. Gently pull the frame out until it is the correct length for your application.

Installation in window 23” to 34” wide

1. Open and mark center line of window. Measure and mark 6” to the right of the center line and 6” to the left of the center line (Fig. 2).
2. Place bracket so that the inside edge rests on the appropriate 6” mark. Secure brackets with two (2) 1” long wood screws (Fig. 2).
3. To overcome storm window interference, securely attach 2” wide wood strips to the window stool and sill, with either nails or screws. Strips should be as long as window opening and flush with back side of stool. Thickness of strips should be controlled by amount of interference (Fig. 3).
4. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, carefully center air conditioner in window opening with the bottom bar between the window stool and the angle bracket. Air conditioner should slant slightly downward on the outside as shown by half a bubble off on a carpenters level. This outward pitch prevents water from entering the room (Fig. 3).
