Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions—Optional

The case may be installed through-the-wall

in both existing and new construction.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for

mounting the air conditioner through-

the-wall.

IMPORTANT

Through-the-wall installation is not

appropriate if any of the side or top louvers

in the case will be obstructed by the wall.

All side and top louvers in the case must

project on the outdoor side of the wall.

The room side of the case must project

into the room far enough to maximize the

balance of the unit.

The case must be installed level from side-

to-side and with a slight tilt from front to

rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble

will be the correct case slant to the outside.

Lintel angle is required to support bricks or

blocks above opening.

Flashing is required and should extend the

length of the opening to ensure no inside

cavity leakage occurs.

Remove the air conditioner from the case.

For specific instruction, refer to the Window

Installation Instructions.

Make certain that a wall receptacle is

available close to the hole location or make

arrangements to install a receptacle.

Place the case in the wall opening and

place wood support strips between the case

bottom and the flashing on both sides of the

bottom rail. They should be the same height

as the bottom rail and the same length as

the wall opening.

FINISH THE WALL OPENING

Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of

the case to prevent moisture from getting

through to the interior wall. Use of flashing

(drip rail) will further prevent water from

dripping inside the wall and down the

outside of the building.

Place the air conditioner into the case.

For specific instruction, refer to the Window

Installation Instructions.

IMPORTANT (cont.)

Secure with 14 wood screws anchored at

least an inch into the wall support structure.

NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for

proper installation. If the frame is oversized,

use shims to prevent case distortion.
