Installation Instructions

INSTALL AND CONNECT THE CASE

1.Remove the front case panel and pull

the unit out of the case. Place the empty case onto the platform in the closet with the outdoor side facing the wall plenum opening. Align the case with plenum opening and attach with six field-supplied sheet metal screws (corrosion-resistant screws recommended).

2.Adjust all four leveling legs until the case is level.
