Cutting the hole for the WhisperKOOL unit
Locate the center of the room. Using a stud finder, locate two adjacent studs in the walls, and mark them with vertical lines.
Using a level and a pencil, mark a horizontal line on the wall between the two studs, approximately 1.25 inches (or as close as possible if more than 1.25”) from the ceiling. Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure 16 inches down (22.75” for the 6000 and 8000 models), and mark another horizontal line parallel to the first one.
Mark the horizontal lines with a level.
Using a saw, cut along the uppermost horizontal line until your saw reaches the stud. Turn the saw around, inserting it into the cut you have just made, and cut toward the opposite stud so that you have a clean horizontal cut between the two studs. Be careful not to cut into the studs themselves. Now make the second horizontal cut from stud to stud on the line 16 inches below the first cut (22.75" for the 6000 and 8000 models).
Cut horizontal lines from stud to stud.
