Setup and Installation

Installation Steps
- Attach Top Rail: Align the hole in the top rail with those on the top of the unit. Secure the top rail to the unit with the provided 3/8" screws.
- Install Side Filler Panels: Identify the Left and Right side filler panels. Hold a side panel in one hand and gently pull back the center to free the open end. Slide the free end "T" section of the panel directly into the cabinet. Slide the panel down, ensuring enough space to slip the top and bottom of the frame into the rails on the cabinet. Repeat for the other side.
- Position the Unit: Carefully place the unit into the window opening, ensuring the bottom of the air conditioner frame rests against the window sill.
- Secure the Window: Carefully close the window behind the top rail of the unit.
- Install Sash Lock: To secure the lower sash in place, attach the right angle sash lock with a 1/2" (12.7 mm) screw.
- Extend Side Panels: Extend the side panels out against the window frame.
- Secure Frame Extensions: Place the frame lock between the frame extensions and the window sill. Drive 1/2" (12.7 mm) locking screws through the frame lock and into the window sash and sill.
- Apply Foam Seal: Cut the foam window seal and insert it into the space between the upper and lower sashes to prevent air leakage.
