Midea U AC Installation Guide

By Midea America

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Measure Window Width for Correct Extension Arm**: Before installation, measure your window width to select the appropriate extension arm. Use the shorter arm for 22-26 inch windows and the longer arm for 26-36 inch windows. Installation in windows wider than 36 inches is not recommended. [01:21], [01:35] - **Flat Sill Adapter Installation**: For flat window sills, install the flat sill adapter by marking and drilling pilot holes, then securing it with two 1-inch screws. This ensures proper placement of the main bracket. [02:02], [02:28] - **Secure Bracket and Adjust Support Arms**: Place the bracket in the window, centering the support on the window lip. Adjust the outdoor support arms by pressing the buttons and sliding them forward until they rest against the outdoor wall, ensuring the bracket is level or slightly tilted outwards. [02:32], [03:30] - **Proper AC Unit Placement on Bracket**: With assistance, lift the AC unit and place it on the bracket, sliding it until the bracket flanges pass through the grooves on the unit's bottom. [04:26], [04:32] - **Seal Gaps with Foam Insulation**: Install sidearm foam, adhesive window sealing foam, and window sash foam to fill all remaining gaps around the unit and window opening, ensuring a tight seal. [04:37], [05:24] - **Install Anti-Tip Brackets for Security**: Extend the anti-tip arms into the vertical window track and secure them with screws. Use optional window sash locks for added security.
