YOU LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART !!! There are holes in the air conditioners upper frame for screws to go thru to attach it to the window frame, TO PREVENT SOMEBODY FROM OPENING THE WINDOW AND HAVING THE AIR CONDITIONER FALL OUT ONTO SOMEONES HEAD!!!!

And screw the AC lip to the window to secure it morons.

have to use a heavy duty a/c extension cord sold at home depot or you'll fry your window unit !!! trust me I do a/c in florida ,,,,, and this guy has a law suite after his a/c window unit fell out and kill an old man walking down the street , well not really but why didn't he screw it down ?

My window area does not have a plug. I have to use an extension. Is that ok if it is one of those three hole ones?

Three things wrong with your installation job:

[1] You should use an a/c window bracket to prevent your a/c from falling out of your window.

[2] A thief can simply raise your window and take your $300 a/c if he has a ladder.

[3] After taking your a/c (or not), a criminal can crawl into your house for more thievery and other mayhem because your window is unlocked when the unit is in place.

With this application i am concerned that the vibration of the a/c unit the window will raise up and the a/c will proceed down to meet the neighbors window unit.

........Hey the dog did a good job!

Make sure the air conditioner has a slight down tilt so rain will roll outside instead of inside. .Sliding Windows with plastic or pvc tracking can be damaged by a heavy ac unit. I put wood boards on the ledge outside the window to help support the weight and stable it. I also put wood pieces in between the tracking to keep weight off the thin plastic. You could also make a wooden support from the window to the floor to keep as much weight as possable off the window frame.

wow u showed us how to put it in the window! my 3 yr old knew how to do that.. someone should make a vid of these impossible to put together ac's, u know, before we have to put them in the window. that's the tough part. yeah some are basic but i got one that you need to graduate ac school to even know what the directions are talking about.
