• 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
1. Identify the existing wall sleeve before installing the
unit from the listed below.
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,
2. Remove old air conditioner from existing wall
sleeve.
3. Clean the interior of an existing sleeve.
(Do not disturb seals.)
4. 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.
5. Prepare the wall sleeve for installation of the unit. If
you plan to use your existing wall sleeve, and it is
not LGE, use procedure B or C below.
6. Install new unit into wall sleeve.
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.

How to Install
We strongly recommend the removal of the old wall
sleeve and the installation of a new LGE Wall Sleeve.
If you decide to keep the existing wall sleeve, you have
to redirect the louvers at the back of the wall sleeve illus-
tration. The use of pliers is recommended. If you DO
NOT redirect, you run the risk of poor performance or
product failure. This is not covered under the terms of the
LGE warranty.
