11l Drill holes in the cabinet and attach it securely to finish frame. Use ten #lO x 1” wood screws (four screws for each side and two screws for the top; not included). Do not overtighten screws or cabinet will distort and provide a poor air seal between cabinet and unit.

12l Insert plastic drain-cup spout and metal holder (on certain models) into hole at rear of cabinet, as shown in Figure 8. Spout should be facing downward through hole. OPTIONAL: During high humidity, condensate may drip from the outside of your air conditioner onto the

ground below. If your air conditioner is installed where this is undesirable, you can direct the water to a more suitable spot by simply attaching a 5/8” inside-diameter, thin walled hose to the drain spout at rear of cabinet (see Figure 9). On models without plastic drain cup spout, use flashing as needed to guide water.

Note the type of drain parts you have. Insert

drain cup according to instructions in Figure 8.
