How To Install - Friedrich Uni-Fit US08C10 Installation And Operation Manual

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Installing the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve ensures
optional performances of the unit.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you
have to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall
sleeve. Refer to FIG. 8 on p14. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run
the risk of poor performance or premature product
failure. This is not covered under the terms of the
FRIEDRICH warranty.
• Pick a location which will allow the conditioned air
to blow into the area you want. Good installation
with special attention to the proper position of the
unit will lessen the chance that service will be
needed.
