A. Installation Checklist

oInspect all components and accessories for damage before and after installation.

oRemove the cardboard wall sleeve support and grille weatherboard.

oCheck for proper wall sleeve installation in accordance with the wall sleeve installation instructions.

oCheck installation of the wall sleeve foam gasket.

oCheck for a subbase kit or other means of structural support which is required for ALL installations projecting more than 8" into room.

oInstall the recommended Condensate Drain Kits for complete condensate removal.

oEnsure that the chassis is installed in a 16" high x 42" wide wall sleeve that is no deeper than

13 3/4". A baffle kit is required if the sleeve exceeds that depth.

oEnsure that drapes, bed, bedspread, furniture, etc. DO NOT block either return or discharge air grilles.

oInspect the condenser air inlet and outlet for any obstructions (shrubbery, etc.)
