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.
