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. 1 &2)
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.3)
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.
