1 IMPORTANT

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

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

The room side of the case must project into the room at least 13⁄4″ from the finished wall.

The case must be installed level from side-to-side and with a slight tilt from front to rear. Use a level; about a 1/2 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside.

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

BMake certain 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 secure with 12 1″ long #10 wood screws.

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