Can you turn it sideways? My window slides open sideways.

I don't know if the unit was designed to operate on its side. I doubt it because it needs to drain condensation moisture. Better ask the mfg this question.

I wouldn't do that. You need to search for a casement/slider AC. If you turn the unit sideways, the compressor will not be properly lubricated, so it will fail prematurely.

somehow I don't think that will work, is manufactured for a window that opens up

I don't believe so since the condensation needs to drain properly and the unit must be level to do so. You should call Fridgidaire and ask directly.

Never turn an air conditioner sideways ... the oil will run away from compressor and you will ruin the unit. Try a penguin instead.

I'm not 100% sure, but pretty sure you can't turn any ac sideways because the coolant needs to be level or it might spill.

I don't think you can - the water outlet is at the middle of the AC... In edition the installation kit will not support sideways installation - So you have a lot of modifications to make...

You can sure try the are pretty adjustable, you can turn one sideways if you want. I love this stand just what I wanted

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.

You can just flip it upside down to change the direction it opens. That's what we ended up doing when my husband and I hung it.

It only opens from left to right (facing the unit). The hinge cannot be changed.

Hey there,Yes, I can. I usually use my thumb to swivel the top open or hold it against something & use my other hand to swivel it open. Hope this helps.

Mine slides freely both sides. Maybe you should contact the manufacturer if yours does not.

There is a black button on the side that slide slide side to side. This is how you change the directionJosiane

Can the bar be turned so that the wall mount is on the side or end of the bar to allow for different mounting configurations? (For example inside a window encasement & other on a wall.)

Yes, I have mine installed in the corner as well. You can pivot it to whichever direction you want.

We bought two and installed them next to each other so that they open from the center out. We handled which way they opened by simply flipping one over. There isn't really a "right side up." :)

you got to screw in two supports and then place this glass sheet on them. So you can , yes, flip it . Glass is not attached to the support.

If you mean sliding glass doors or windows that slide sideways, then, yes, the adapter included with our unit would fit. It's a long panel and infinitely adjustable.

It should just slide out. Just pull the center, grey part, right above the window. If it doesn't slide right out, that's an issue that I would talk to the company about.

The door does swing open 180 degrees. As for changing which way it opens... if you are skilled with tools and are very careful you might be able to take the hinges off and switch it around, but i wouldnt recommend it

Yes it can. It's difficult to do because it is difficult to open as you said. The side slides down but I had to work at it. Good luck!

no, but you can get reversible ones that you can turn upside down to do that, like the ikea one http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80253814/
