Parts and Installation
INSTALLATION
• 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.
ITEMS IN INSTALLATION HARDWARE
You may not need all parts in the kit. Discard
unused parts
HOW TO INSTALL
Before installing the unit, identify the existing
wall sleeve from the list below.
NOTE: All wall sleeves used to mount the new Air
Conditioner must be in sound structural condition
and have a rear grille that securely attaches to
sleeve, or rear flange that serves as a stop for the
Air Conditioner.
Remove old air conditioner from existing wall
sleeve.
Clean the interior of an existing sleeve.
(Do not disturb seals.)
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing the air conditioner. Use the
nails or screws through sleeve into wall, if
needed. Repaint sleeve if needed.
Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the unit.
If you plan to use your existing wall sleeve, and it
is not FRIEDRICH, use procedure B or C below.
Install new unit into wall sleeve.
CAUTION: When installation is completed,
replacement unit MUST have a rearward slope as
shown. To achieve 1/4" slope, remove the backing
from the 11-13/16" shim strips and attach them as
shown below in Fig. 3. Place the higher portion of
shim to the front of the rib on base of wall sleeve.

FIG. 3
Installing the FRIEDRICH USC sleeve ensures
optional performances of the unit.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you
have to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall
sleeve. Refer to FIG. 8 on p14. The use of pliers is
recommended. If you DO NOT redirect, you run
the risk of poor performance or premature product
failure. This is not covered under the terms of the
FRIEDRICH warranty.
