THRU-THE-WALL Installation

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)

Installing the Chassis into the Cabinet

1.Team lift (two people) the air conditioner chassis and carefully slide it into the cabinet. Let the front of the air conditioner hang out approximately 6”.

2.CAUTION: DO NOT PUSH ON THE CONTROLS OR FINNED COILS.

3.Be sure the chassis is firmly seated in the back of the cabinet.

4.Insert all screws removed during window installation and reattach the front face plate, front panel, and the air filter. Use the REMOVE CHASSIS instructions and figures 1-6 for reference.

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation and/or a qualified carpenter.

Select the Wall Location

This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be installed through an outside wall as specified below:

MAX WALL THICKNESS: 8 1/4”

IMPORTANT: The side louvers must never be blocked.

NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Installation are provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood screws (10-1” long minimum). Select a wall surface that:

1.Does not support major structural loads such as the frame construction at ends of windows, and under truss-bearing points, etc.

2.Does not have plumbing or wiring inside.

3.Is near existing electrical outlets, or where another out- let can or will be installed.

4.Does not have objects blocking the air vents which limits cooling.

5.Allows unblocked airflow from the rear and sides of the air conditioner.

Prepare the Wall

1.Prepare the wall in frame construction (including brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room, find the wall stud that is nearest the center of the installa- tion area.

2.Cut a hole on each side of the center stud.

3.Measure between the inside edges of every other stud as shown below.
