INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend the removal of the old wall sleeve and the installation of a new
Kenmore Wall Sleeve,
If you decide to keep the existingwall sleeve, you have to redirectthe 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 product failure. This is not covered under the terms of the
Kenmore warranty.
•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.
