INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSB.Thru-The-Wall InstallationInside Frame Height: 18-7/8"(47.9cm) or18" (45.7cm)Inside Frame Width: 26-3/4"(67.9cm) or 23-7/8"(60.6cm)NOTE: Consult local building codes prior toinstallation, or a qualified carpenter.1 Select Wall LocationYThe air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, sothat it can be installed through an outside wallas specified below:Max. Wall thickness: 12or10IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked.NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Installtion are provided, except a wood frame, shims,and 10 wood screws(#10-1 long minimum).Select a wall surface that:1. does not support major structural loads suchas the frame construction at ends of windows,and under truss-bearing points, etc.InsideFrameHeightInsideFrameWidthUp to 8-1/2"Fg.24. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions of your model listed above. (Measuretwice remember). Frame depth should be thesame as wall thickness. Fill in the space fromthe opening to the studs with wood spacers,as shown.5. Nail frame to spacers to spacers with frontflush with drywall.2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.3. is near existing electrical outlets, or whereanother outlet can be installed.4. faces, and is not blocked to the area to becooled.5. allows unblocked airflow from rear sides andend(outside) of installed air conditioner.NAIL SPACERSTO STUDS2 Prepare Wall1. Prepare wall in frame construction (includingbrick and stucco veneer). Working from insidethe room, find wall stud nearest the center ofarea where air conditioner will be installed(by sounding wall, or by magnetically findingnails).2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of center stud.3. Measure between inside edges of every otherstud as shown in Fig.1.LEVELFig.3NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2 or more, addaluminum flashing over bottom of frame openingto assure no water can enter area between innerand outer wall.3-3/8" MIN(8.6 cm)CaulkasRequiredFig.1Carefully measure and cut an opening with thefollowing dimensions depending on your model.See Fig.1 and Fig.2.WIDTH X inside model width plus twice thethickness of framing material used.HEIGHT Y inside model height plus twice thethickness of framing material used.Aluminum FlashingOver Bottom Of FrameFig.410Over8-1/2

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS5. Screw or nail cabinet wooden frame usingshims if frame is oversized, to eliminatedistortion. See Fig.8.Remember to maintainproper slop as described in Step 3.3 Prepare and Install Cabinet1. Slide chassis from cabinet. Refer back to Stepone of Window Mounting.2. Place cabinet into opening with bottom railresting firmly on bottom board of woodenframe.3. Position cabinet to achieve proper slope forwater removal.(See Fig.5 below.)4. Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two largewood screws 1 (2.5cm) long using the two holesin the bottom of the channel resting on frame.(See Fig.6 ).NOTE: Check that air conditioner is tilted back about1 1/ 4 to 1 5/ 8 (tilted about 3 O t o 4 O downward to th e o utside).After proper installation, condensate should not drainfrom the overflow drain h ole d uringn ormalu se,c orrectthe slope otherwise (Fig.14).Measure fromthe cabinet edge.Fig.86. Install chassis into cabinet by following allsteps in Step 8 of Window Mounting.OPTIONAL: Caulking and installation of trim oninterior wall may be done. You can buy wood fromyour local number or hardware supply. On theoutside, caulk openings around top and sides ofcabinet, and all sides of wood sleeve to the opening.About1 1/ 4 to 15/ 8NOTE: See Step 5, Item 3 of Window MountingInstructions for bottom rail seal location.C.Masonry Construction1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry wallsimilar to the frame construction (refer to Step2 of Thru-the-wall Installation for a wallthickness greater than 8-1/2 ).2. Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails,or the right masonry anchor screws. (Anotherway to do, this is to build an in-between frameof 2x4 s as shown in the Step 2 Prepare Wallillustrations-but make it double framed oneither side, and install between masonry wallopening and cabinet. Frame must be securelyanchored to masonry wall opening). This waygives very good louver clearance on eitherside of cabinet.3. Install a lintel to support masonry wall abovecabinet. Existing holes in cabinet can be usedand/ or additional holes can be drilled to fastencabinet at various positions. Be sure that sidelouver clearance is in accordance with Step 1above.4. Install exterior cabinet support brackets asshown in Step 2 of Thru-the-wall installation.Caulk or flash if needed, to provide a wethertight seal around top and sides of cabinet.5. To complete installation, apply wood trimmolding around room side projection of cabinet.Side LouversFig.51 Long WoodScrewFig.6Refer to Step 5 of Window Mounting for assemblyof support brackets. A wooden strip nailed to theoutside wall should be used in conjunction withsill support angle brackets.Support bracketSill angle bracketFig.711
