The place where the power cord exits the air conditioner should be no more than 4 ft (122 cm) from a grounded outlet. Do not block the louvers on the front panel. Do not block the louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.

5. Use final measurement to measure in from each edge of the filler board. Mark lines in such a way that the outside edges of the filler board will contain the screw holes. 6. Place cardboard or other protective material on a sturdy, flat surface. Position filler board on top of the protective material to keep from cutting into the surface below. 7. Place a ruler or straight edge along the lines drawn previously and use a utility knife to cut filler boards to size along the lines. Make cut so the outside edges of filler boards will have screw holes.

10. Push left filler board against side-mounting angle and attach with two ¹�� in. hex-head screws. From the outside, push filler boards as far forward in window channels as possible.

Foam block installation
1. Measure the distance between the channel edge and the filler board. 2. Cut foam blocks ¹�� in. (6.4 mm) wider and insert into channel behind filler boards. Top View
