Installation of the Cabinet
Step 1

screws and slide the air conditioner out from the cabinet (Refer
to Installation Steps).

sealed. The cabinet should slope down towards the rear by
about 10mm to allow water drainage during operation.

seals are not damaged. Flash, seal or fill gaps around the
inside and outside to provide satisfactory appearance and
protection against the weather, insects and rodents.
