4. Setup and Installation
The TOYOTOMI TIW-A160F is designed for straightforward window installation, eliminating the need for an outdoor unit or complex wall modifications. Follow these general steps for installation:
- Prepare the Window: Ensure the window frame is sturdy and clean. The window must be a double-hung or sliding type that can accommodate the unit and mounting frame.
- Install the Mounting Frame: Attach the provided aluminum standard mounting frame to the window opening according to the detailed instructions in the separate mounting frame guide. Ensure it is level and securely fastened to prevent vibration and air leakage.
- Place the Unit: Carefully lift the air conditioner unit and slide it into the installed mounting frame. Ensure it is firmly seated and locked into place. Due to the unit's weight (approximately 22 kg), it is recommended to have assistance during this step.
- Secure the Unit: Use the provided screws and brackets to secure the air conditioner to the mounting frame and window sash, preventing it from falling or being dislodged.
- Seal Gaps: Use the included sealing materials (foam strips, weatherstripping) to fill any gaps around the unit and frame. This prevents air leakage and improves cooling efficiency.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a dedicated 100V electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords.
