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.
