3l Choose the type of decorative molding you

want to use around the room side of the cabinet. Your choice affects the finish frame alignment with the inside wall. When using a wood, metal or plastic molding, the finish frame should almost line up with the inside wall. If the wall is plastered to the cabinet and no molding is used, the finish frame must be set into the wall by l/2” (see Figure 4 for frame construction or Figure 5 for brick

veneer construction). Cut through two studs for support.

4. Provide an opening through the wall for a finish frame. Observe all local governing codes and ordinances. For wall opening dimensions, use those shown in Figure 6 and add wood frame thickness (use 1” lumber or heavier).

When determining finish frame thickness, be sure you do not cover side cabinet louvers. A 4” minimum clearance between sidecabinet louvers and adjoining wall allows for proper airflow into air conditioner.

Figure 7).

9. Insert exterior cabinet through wall opening.

Leave l-3/16” minimum projection into the room at service cord exit hole in cabinet, after allowing for trim. For proper outward water drainage, shim or reposition cabinet to pro- vide the proper downward tilt to the outside (l/2” bubble or l/4” and side-to-side leveling.
