Today, we'll go through the installation process of your Midea U-Shaped air conditioner and
bracket.
Upon opening the box, you will find your new Midea U-Shaped window air conditioner along
with the user manual, one main bracket, one short and
one long right extension arm, 2 main support pins, 2
cotter pins, side arm Foam, 1/4" Type B Screws, 1/2" Type B Screws, 1/2" Type A Screws, 1"
Type A Screws, Window Sash Lock, one right and one left open
window bracket, various foams for sealing, and one
remote with batteries.
The tools needed are a Philips head screwdriver, a level, tape measure, pencil or marker, scissors
or knife to cut the foam, and a drill with 1/8"
drill bit.
You may also need a flat-head screwdriver.
First, verify the angled support arms are correctly inserted in the main support channels.
The small tabs on the side must sit inside the channel.
Next, set your main bracket on a flat surface such as a table and adjust the left extension
arm out to the left side of the bracket.
Measure the dimension of your window to determine which right extension arm is needed.
The long right extension arm is for 26"-36" windows
And the short right extension arm is for 22"-26" windows.
Find the center of the window and lightly mark with a pencil.
Write down the distance from the center mark to each end of the windowsill to help
with adjusting the bracket before installing.
Using the arrow on the front center of the bracket, adjust the extension arms to match
the measurements.
Check that it fits the windowsill and adjust as needed.
Then apply bracket sealing foam to the bottom of the right and left extension arms.
With the Bracket assembled, install it into the window frame by placing the Main Support
arms out of the window and letting the angled support
arms hang down.
Lower the bracket and place it on the inside of the window frame.
If installing into a flat sill window, maintain control of the bracket and use the 1 inch
Type A screws to secure the bottom of the bracket to the window now.
Move the angled support arms in until the feet touch the outside of the building.
Then place a level on the main supports here or here.
Adjust the first angled support arm so the bracket is level or slightly tilted downward
toward the outside.
The bubble should be level or show one quarter bubble for a slight tilt.
With the first angled support arm set at the correct angle, install the support pin through
the closest matching hole along the Main support and insert the cotter pin.
Using the numbers on the main support, adjust the second angled support arm to match the
first, insert the main support pin and cotter pin.
Double check the level and that the bracket is centered in the window.
Make any necessary adjustments.
When properly adjusted, the extension arms should be against the sides of the window
sill.
Adjust these to fit if necessary.
Secure the extension arms to the side of the window frame by predrilling and fastening
the extension arms through the holes provided on the ends.
If necessary, cover any openings on the bracket using the bracket sealing foam.
Using 2 people to lift, remove the unit from the box.
With the window fully opened, place the Midea U-shaped air conditioner on the support bracket
ensuring the channels on the bottom of the air conditioner align with the bracket.
While keeping a hand on the air conditioner, partially close the window into the U-shaped
slot to help align the unit with the window.
Next, install the left and right open window brackets using the provided Type B screws.
To prepare the side arm foam, first fold down both side arm hinges and measure the distances
between Each hinge and window frame.
This dimension may be different on each side.
Add 1/4 inch to your measurement and cut the side arm foam to length.
The foam can also be custom cut to form fit your window frame if desired.
For flat windowsill installations, adhere the additional side arm foam to the bottom
of the main side arm foam.
Starting 2 inches from the top of the foam on the side facing the unit, Add a strip of
window sealing foam down and across the bottom of the side
arms.
Now you're ready to install the foam!
Install the foam between the side arm hinge and the window frame.
Ensure the top of the foam is flush with the top of the side arm hinge.
Additionally, for flat windowsills, ensure that the foam seals behind the extension arms.
With the foam in place, slide the anti-tip brackets out and insert them into the window
track.
These must be installed.
With the arms fully extended into the track, secure the anti-tip brackets by reinstalling
the provided Philips screw.
Install window sealing foam to the bottom of your window sash.
You can now fully close your window.
Extend the integrated window locks out until they touch the window.
You can also install the optional window sash lock for added security.
Finally, install the window sash seal.
Check for any gaps and use the provided foam pieces to seal any openings between the air
conditioner and the window.
