Through-The-Wall Installation - Sunbeam Air Conditioner Installation Instructions Manual

THROUGH-THE-WALL INSTALLATION

SELECT WALL LOCATION
This air conditioner has a slide out chassis, so it can be installed through an outside wall up to 12" thick.
IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked.
Notes: All parts needed for through-the-wall installation are provided except a wood frame, shims, and 10
wooded screws (#10 1" long minimum). Select a wall surface that:
1. does not support major structural loads such as the frame construction at ends of windows and under truss-
bearing points, etc.
2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.
3. is near existing electrical outlets or where another outlet can be installed.
4. faces and is blocking the area being cooled.
5. allows unblocked airfl ow from rear sides and end (outside) of installed air conditioner.
PREPARE WALL
1. Prepare wall in frame construction (including brick and stucco veneer). Working from inside the room, fi nd
wall stud nearest to the center of the area where the air conditioner will be installed (by sounding wall or
magnetically fi nding nails).
2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of the center stud.
For the 25K:
3. Measure between the inside edges of every other
stud. Carefully measure and cut an opening
26.75"W (67.9cm) plus twice the thickness of
the frame by 18.9"H (47.9cm) plus twice the
thickness of the framing material used.
4. Build a wooden sleeve with the INSIDE
dimensions of 26.75"H (67.9cm) by 18.9"H
(47.9cm). Frame depth should be the same as
wall thickness. Fill in the space from the opening
to the studs with wood spacers.
5. Nail the frame to spacers with front fl ush to drywall.
For the 15-18K:
3. Measure between the inside edges of every other
stud. Carefully measure and cut an opening
23.8"H (60.6cm) plus twice the thickness of the
frame by 18"H (45.7cm) plus twice the thickness
of the framing material used.
4. Build a wooden sleeve with the INSIDE
dimensions of 23.8"H (60.6cm) by 18"H
(45.7cm). Frame depth should be the same as
wall thickness. Fill in the space from the opening
to the studs with wood spacers.
