Through-the-Wall Cabinet Installation
NOTES:
Handle the air conditioner gently.
Be sure your air conditioner cabinet does not fall out of the
opening during installation or removal.
The location where the power cord exits the air conditioner
should be no more than 4 ft (122 cm) from a grounded
3 prong outlet.
Do not block the louvers on the front panel.
Do not block the louvers on the outside of the air conditioner.
It is the customer's responsibility and obligation to have this
product installed by a qualified technician familiar with
through-the-wall room air conditioner installations.
Option 1-Wood, metal or plastic molding
When using a wood, metal or plastic molding, the wood frame
should line up with the inside wall as shown.
Option 2-Plastered wall with no molding
If the plastered wall is to be flush with the cabinet and no molding
is used, the wood frame must be set ¹⁄" (13 mm) into the inside
wall.
Install Wood Frame
1. Construct the wood frame. See "ocation Requirements”for
dimensions.
2. Measure the outside width and height of the frame to
determine the wall opening dimensions.
3. Cut the opening through the wall. Remove and save the
insulation.
NOTES:
Dimension for depth depends on the wall thickness and
the type of molding.
Do not block louvers in the air conditioner cabinet.
Use 1" (2.5 cm) or thicker lumber for the wood frame.
4. Apply the wood preservative to the outside exposed surface.
5. Insert the frame in the wall opening. Square and level the
frame.
6. Attach the frame securely to the wall.
Install Cabinet into Wood Frame
1. Insert the cabinet into the framed wall opening.
2. Use a level to check that the cabinet is level side to side.
3. Check that the air conditioner cabinet is tilted to the outside
so that water will run to the outside.
Complete Through-the-Wall Installation
1. Reuse the insulation to seal opening between the cabinet and
the frame.
2. Use the existing holes and six 1" (2.5 cm) wood screws (not
provided) to attach the cabinet to the frame.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws or the cabinet will
distort and provide a poor air seal between the cabinet and
the air conditioner.
3. Caulk all outside wall openings around the cabinet.
