It is made for a window, so the back end sticks outside. It is weather resistant. If you use the accessories provided, you can seal the window around the unit from the inside. You should take them out over the winter, but I have left mine in year round. You can cover the outside of the unit during the winter months for extra protection from the elements.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All air conditioners are designed to have 2/3 of the unit outside the dwelling. There is no need to remove the air conditioner to protect it in case of rain; it will do just fine. Depending on your particular window design / situation, a hard, driving rain against the window may force some water in around the edges of the side skirts, but that would be the only issue.

Some window air conditioner models will have air vents across the top of the outer case. These are there to help keep the condenser and compressor cool. Some rain water may fall into the outer case of the unit. The components are weather protected and can take the rain, wind and other conditions without damaging the unit. The units fan slinger ring system will pick up the water and blow it on the condenser coils which will evaporate the water. Also, the side louvers are directed upwards, this design has been tested and proven to be the best at moving air in and around the compressor and condenser to help keep the unit operating at peak efficiency. Again, some rain water may fall into the outside of the case, however it will not cause any damage to the unit and no water will migrate into the room side portion of the air conditioner. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are happy to help at GEAppliances.com. Stay cool! Sue
