Window Mounting Steps:
- Prepare the window opening by cleaning the sill and frame.
- Attach the top and bottom mounting rails to the air conditioner unit as per the fitting kit instructions.
- Carefully lift the unit and place it into the window opening. Ensure the bottom rail rests securely on the window sill.
- Extend the side panels to fill the window opening completely. Secure them with screws provided in the kit.

- Lower the window sash behind the top rail of the air conditioner to secure it in place.
- Install the window sash lock bracket and seal any gaps around the unit with the provided weatherstripping to prevent air leakage.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you experience issues with your air conditioner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Unit does not turn on:
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning 115V outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. - Air conditioner does not cool:
Verify that the thermostat is set to a cooler temperature than the room. Check if the air filter is clean and not obstructed. Ensure there are no obstructions to the air intake or exhaust vents. Confirm the unit is set to a 'Cool' mode, not just 'Fan'. - Unit is noisy:
Check if the unit is installed securely and level in the window. Vibrations can cause noise. Ensure no foreign objects are inside the unit or obstructing the fan blades. - Water leakage:
Confirm the unit is slightly tilted outwards to allow proper drainage of condensation. Check if the drain pan is clear of debris. - Reduced airflow:
Clean the air filter. Ensure the front grille is not blocked.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
