Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions-Optional

Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions—Optional

The case may be installed through-the-wall in both existing and new construction.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for mounting the air conditioner through- the-wall.

IMPORTANT (cont.)

Secure with 14 wood screws anchored at least an inch into the wall support structure.

NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for proper installation. If the frame is oversized, use shims to prevent case distortion.

1IMPORTANT

Through-the-wall installation is not appropriate if any of the side or top louvers in the case will be obstructed by the wall.

All side and top louvers in the case must project on the outdoor side of the wall.

The room side of the case must project into the room far enough to maximize the balance of the unit.

The case must be installed level from side- to-side and with a slight tilt from front to rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside.

Lintel angle is required to support bricks or blocks above opening.

Flashing is required and should extend the length of the opening to ensure no inside cavity leakage occurs.

ARemove the air conditioner from the case. For specific instruction, refer to the Window Installation Instructions.

BMake certain that a wall receptacle is available close to the hole location or make arrangements to install a receptacle.

CPlace the case in the wall opening and place wood support strips between the case bottom and the flashing on both sides of the bottom rail. They should be the same height as the bottom rail and the same length as the wall opening.

2FINISH THE WALL OPENING

ACaulk all four sides on the outdoor side of the case to prevent moisture from getting through to the interior wall. Use of flashing (drip rail) will further prevent water from dripping inside the wall and down the outside of the building.

AEE12, AEE08 specifications

The GE AEE08 and AEE12 are advanced air conditioning units designed to provide efficient cooling in residential and light commercial environments. These models are part of General Electric's lineup of window air conditioners, specifically engineered to deliver powerful performance and energy efficiency.

One of the standout features of the GE AEE08 and AEE12 is their cooling capacity. The AEE08 model boasts a cooling capacity of 8,000 BTUs, while the AEE12 offers a slightly higher capacity of 12,000 BTUs. This makes them suitable for medium to large-sized rooms, ensuring comfortable living spaces even during the hottest summer days.

Energy efficiency is a critical consideration, and both models are equipped with the latest technologies to reduce power consumption. With an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 12.1 for the AEE08 and 11.5 for the AEE12, these units are designed to cool effectively while helping to lower electricity bills. Additionally, they often come with Energy Star certification, indicating that they meet or exceed energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The AEE08 and AEE12 are also equipped with innovative features that enhance user convenience and comfort. The units come with multiple cooling and fan speeds, allowing users to customize their experience based on their specific needs. The adjustable thermostat ensures precise temperature control, while the remote control allows for easy operation from across the room.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the quiet operation of these air conditioners. GE has incorporated advanced acoustics design in both models, which minimizes noise levels for a more peaceful environment, making them suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, or offices.

Installation is straightforward, as both the AEE08 and AEE12 come with a window installation kit that simplifies setup. The slide-out filter is easy to clean, ensuring optimal performance over time.

In conclusion, the GE AEE08 and AEE12 air conditioners stand out due to their robust cooling capacities, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features. They serve as excellent choices for anyone looking to enhance indoor comfort during the warm months, marrying technology with practical functionality for an optimal cooling experience.
