THRU-THE-WALL INSTALLATION

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation and/or a qualified carpenter.

Select the Wall Location

This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so that it can be installed through an outside wall as specified below:

MAX WALL THICKNESS: 8 1/4”

IMPORTANT: The side louvers must never be blocked.

NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Installation are provided, except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood screws (10-1” long minimum). Select a wall surface that:

1.Does not support major structural loads such as the frame construction at ends of windows, and under truss-bearing points, etc.

2.Does not have plumbing or wiring inside.

3.Is near existing electrical outlets, or where another out- let can or will be installed.

4.Does not have objects blocking the air vents which limits cooling.

5.Allows unblocked airflow from the rear and sides of the air conditioner.

Prepare the Wall
