General Instructions
All Amana
®
brand Compact Room Air Conditioners feature
a slide-out chassis. Chassis and front cover must be re-
moved from outer case for installation.
In order to reinstall the chassis and re-
attach the air conditioner front cover, the
installed outercase must be square and
level from side to side. Use wood shims
between sides of case and finished open-
ing - especially where case is secured to
opening - to prevent warping or distorting.
Check installed case for distortion using
carpenter's square.
Do not install or place anything in the air
inlet and air outlet of window type unit, in
order to avoid affecting performance.
CAUTION
A finished opening 26 1/8-inches wide x 17-inches high is
recommended. The lower left inside corner of opening must
be within 5 feet of an appropriate electrical outlet (see Use
and Care manual for electrical requirements.)
When wall thickness exceeds 9-inches, opening must be
modified to allow air to enter side louvers on case (see spe-
cial instructions on back ). Do not install air conditioner in
walls thicker than 11 2/5-inches.
