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.

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.
