Window Installation:

1. Prepare the Window: Ensure your window opening is clean and clear. The unit is designed for standard double-hung windows.
2. Attach Side Panels: Secure the accordion-style side panels to the main AC unit. These panels expand to fill the window opening.
3. Position the Unit: Carefully lift and place the AC unit into the window opening. Ensure it is centered and level, with a slight downward tilt towards the outside for proper condensation drainage.
4. Secure the Unit: Extend the side panels to fit snugly against the window frame. Use the provided screws and brackets to secure the unit to the window sash and frame, preventing it from falling or being dislodged.
5. Seal Gaps: Apply the included foam insulation strips to seal any gaps around the unit and side panels. This prevents air leakage and improves energy efficiency.
6. Electrical Connection: Plug the unit into a standard 115-volt grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the unit's power requirements (870 watts).

Note: Always ensure the unit is securely installed to prevent accidents and optimize performance.
