Installation
INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend the removal of the
old wall sleeve and the installation of a new
HCI Wall Sleeve.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve,
you have to redirect the louvers at the back of
the wall sleeve illustration. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you
run the risk of poor performance or product
failure. This is not covered under the terms of
the HCI 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.
