The Right Fit For Comfort

1. Take unit out of packaging.
2. Slide unit into wall sleeve. If supply duct on cooling chassis does
not line up with supply vent on room cabinet it is possible that
factory installed angle brackets on the top and sides will have
to be reversed. This will allow approximately 1” in or out of the
wall sleeve (see figures A & B) below.
3. Slide unit out of wallsleeve.
4. Baffl e Installation - Remove baffl es from kit bag supplied
with unit. Install left and right side baffl es on the condenser
coil in existing holes:
• Choose the proper fi tting baffl es for your application.
• Baffl es must come in contact with the outdoor louver.
5. Apply one piece of 1/2” x 1/2” open cell polyfoam to top fl ange
of evaporator block off (
See illustration at left).
6. Apply 2” x 1 1/2” open cell foam strips around supply air
duct to ensure that all the conditioned air is delivered into
the room. Failure to do so results in recirculation of the
conditioned air around the wall sleeve and through the unit
causing the unit to short cycle and coils to freez, thus rais-
ing operating costs through improper heating and cooling
(Figure C1).
7. 1” x 1” Open cell foam strips are provided to prevent outside air
from entering around the chassis to the room from the sides
and top of the cabinet. Install between wall sleeve and cooling
chassis. It is imperative to have a solid air seal between wall
sleeve and chassis. Failure to do so will result in air leakage
*Refer to the charts on page 23 for electrical and
optional electric heat specifi cations.

more foam than
supplied in kit,
consult factory
(Figure D1).
8. Once confi dent that all seals are the correct size and in the
proper location, and the correct baffl es are attached to the con-
