Installing in a casement window
Since styles and sizes of casement windows vary widely, it is advisable to have the air conditioner installed by someone skilled in this type of installation. Your appliance dealer can recommend or supply qualified people to install your air conditioner. 1. Closed or stationary windows: Install unit in stationary sash to avoid crank handles or window latches. If unit is to be installed in or next to a movable sash, it may be necessary to remove catch, handle, or both. Remove crank handle and secure window in closed position. Remove glass panes and horizontal mountings to a height sufficient to mount unit. 2. Open window frame: Remove crank mechanism and catch handles. Fold the window sash back against the exterior wall of the building and secure, or remove completely where possible. Do not block air circulation to the outside louvers. 3. A filler panel will be required at the side of the air conditioner when installed in windows having width greater than 151�2". Filler panel should be made from 3�4" thick wood securely anchored to one side of the opening so that a 151�2" wide opening is provided. The filler panel should run the full length of the window. Paint to suit. 4. Install the air conditioner in the same manner as described for sliding windows.(See �Installing in a sliding window� on page 9.)
Installing in a wood sliding or wood casement window
1. For a wood casement window, it is necessary to construct a frame, using at least 1" thick wood with a 151�2" wide opening. 2. Paint the frame and fasten it securely, sealing it into the window opening. 3. Install the air conditioner into the frame following procedures for metal sliding and casement windows.
