Features and Installation

INSTALLATION

• Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air
to blow into the area you want. Good installation
with special attention to the proper position of the
unit will lessen the chance that service will be
needed.

ITEMS IN INSTALLATION HARDWARE

You may not need all parts in the kit. Discard
unused parts

HOW TO INSTALL

Before installing the unit, identify the existing
wall sleeve from the list below.
NOTE: All wall sleeves used to mount the new Air
Conditioner must be in sound structural condition
and have a rear grille that securely attaches to
sleeve, or rear flange that serves as a stop for the
Air Conditioner.
Remove old air conditioner from existing wall
sleeve.
Clean the interior of an existing sleeve.
(Do not disturb seals or gaskets.)
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing the air conditioner. Use the
nails or screws through sleeve into wall, if
needed. Repaint sleeve if needed.
Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the unit.
If you plan to use your existing wall sleeve, and it
is not FRIEDRICH, use procedure B or C below.
Install new unit into wall sleeve.
CAUTION: When installation is complete,
replacement unit MUST have a downward-rear
slope as shown below.

FIG. 3

We strongly recommend the removal of the

old wall sleeve and the installation of a new

FRIEDRICH USC Wall Sleeve.

If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you

have to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall

sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is

recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run

the risk of poor performance or premature product

failure. This is not covered under the terms of the

FRIEDRICH warranty.
