Through-the-wall
Installation
This air conditioner
is designed
as a slide-out
type
chassis,
making
it possible
to
install
it through-the-wall
in
both
existing
and
new
construction.
We
recommend
that
this
type
of
installation
be
performed
with
professional
assistance.
•
IMPORTANT:
This
appliance
must
be
installed
according
to all
applicable
electrical
and building
codes
and
ordinances.
•
It is recommended
that
you
have
help
to install
your
unit
and that
you
use
proper
lifting
technique
to avoid
personal
injury.
•
It is important
that
you
inspect
the
condition
of the
wall
where
the
air
conditioner
will
be installed.
• Be sure the wall can support
the weight
of the unit.
• All cabinet
louvers
MUST BE on the outdoor
side of the wall.
DO NOT
BLOCK SIDE LOUVERS.
• The cabinet
must
be installed
level
from
side-to-side
and with
a downward
tilt
from
inside
to outside.
1. First
remove
the
Decorative
front
panel
and
chassis
from
the
cabinet,
then
remove
top
bar from
the
cabinet.
2. Determine
the
size
of the
opening
for
a wood
frame
by adding
1/8"
to
the
width
and
height
of the
cabinet.
Measure
height
from
top
of cabinet
to
bottom
of bar. Add
this
measurement
to the
thickness
of wood
used
to build
the
frame.
This will
determine
the
size of wall
opening
needed.
Minimum
1"
thick
lumber
is recommended
when
building
the
frame.
When
determining
finish
frame
thickness,
be
sure
not
to
cover
side
louvers
on the
cabinet.
3. Install
the
finished
frame
in the
wall
opening
square
and
level,
nail
or
screw
it securely
to the
wall
and
place
the
cabinet
into
the
framed
wall
opening.
4. Make
sure
cabinet
projects
into
the
roomside
of the wall
1 1/4"
at the top
and 1 1/2"
at the
bottom
to ensure
proper
tilt
and access to the
anti-theft
screw,
then
fasten
cabinet
to the
frame
by drilling
twelve
(12)
1" wood
screws
(not
supplied)
through
the
cabinet
and
into
the
frame.
(Fig.
17 & 18).
If installation
is made
in a building
with
brick
veneer
construction,
a steel
angle
lintel
must
be used to support
the
bricks
above
the
cabinet.(Fig.19)
5. Install
a 3/4"
X 1 1/2"
wood
filler
strip
between
the
bottom
bar and
the
interior,
caulk
both
top
and
bottom
of this
strip.
After
cabinet
is installed
caulk
all openings,
inside
and
outside
between
finish
frame
and
cabinet
to
prevent
moisture
from
getting
to
the
interior
of
the
wall.
Use
of
flashing
(driprail)
will
further
prevent
water
from
dripping
inside
the
wall.
6. Install
chassis
into
cabinet.
