Do the following before starting to install unit.

See illustrations below.

1. Check window opening size - the mounting

parts furnished with this air conditioner are

made to install in a wooden sill double-hung

window.The standard parts are for a window

opening of 30" (711 mm) minimum to 42"

(1067 mm) maximum width. Open sash to a

minimum of 19" (483 mm). (FIG. 1)

2. Check condition of window - all wood parts

of window must be in good shape and able to

firmly hold the needed screws. If not, make

repairs before installing unit.

power supply must be the same as that

shown on the unit serial nameplate. (See

Owner's Guide for serial plate location.)

Power cord is 48" long. Be sure you have an

outlet near. It is best to not use extension

cords!

provide proper service and safe positive

grounding. Do not change plug in any way.

Do not use an adapter plug. If your present

wall outlet does not match your plug, call a

qualified electrician to make the needed

change.

Thru-The-Wall Installation

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to

installation, or a qualified carpenter.

Location

This air conditioner has a slide-out chassis, so it

can be installed through an outside wall up to

7" (178 mm) thick. IMPORTANT: Side louvers

must never be blocked.

NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-WaU

Installation are provided, except a wood frame,

shims, and 10 wood screws (#10-1" long minimum

(25 mm)). Select a wall surface that:

1. does not support major structural loads such

as the frame construction at ends of windows,

and under truss-bearing points, etc.

2. does not have plumbing or wiring inside.

3. is near existing electrical outlets, or where

another outlet can be installed.

4. faces, and is not blocked to the area to be

cooled.

5. allows unblocked airflow from rear sides and

end (outside) of installed air conditioner.

pare Wall

1. Prepare wall in frame construction (including

brick and stucco veneer).Working from inside

the room, find wall stud nearest the center of

area where air conditioner will be installed (by

sounding wall, or by magnetically finding

nails).

2. Cut or knock out a hole on each side of center

stud.

3. Measure between inside edges of every other

stud as shown in FIG. 1.

FIG. I

3-3/8"

(8.6 cm)

Carefully measure and cut an opening with the

following dimensions. See FIGS. 1 and 2.

WIDTH "X" = 24-1/4" plus twice the

thickness of framing material used.

HEIGHT "Y" = 15-1/4" plus twice the

thickness of framing material used.

FIG. 2

UPTO

4. Build a wooden sleeve with the INSIDE

dimensions of 24-1/4" in width and 15-1/4" in

height. Frame depth should be the same as

wall thickness. Fill in the space from the

opening to the studs with wood spacers,

as shown.

5. Nail frame to spacers with front flush with

drywall.

NOTE: If wall thickness is 7" (178 mm) or more,

add aluminum flashing over bottom of frame

opening to assure no water can enter area

between inner and outer wall. 1"LONG FIG. 2

OPTIONAL: Support brackets may be used.

Installation brackets are recommended for walls

under 5" thick.

Refer to Step 4 of Window Mounting for assembly

of support brackets.A wooden strip nailed to the

outside wall should be used in conjunction with

sill support angle brackets.

and Install

1. Slide chassis from cabinet. Refer back to Step 1

of Window Mounting.

2. Place cabinet into opening with bottom rail

resting firmly on bottom board of wooden

frame.

3. Position cabinet to achieve proper slope for

water removal. (See FIG. 1 below.)

Screw or nail cabinet to wooden frame using

slope as described in Step 3.

.Secure bottom rail to wood frame with two

large wood screws 1" (2.5 cm) long using the

two holes in the bottom of the channel resting

on frame. (See FIG. 2 following.)

6. Install chassis into cabinet by following all

steps in Step 8 of Window Mounting.

(continued)

OPTIONAL:Caulkingandinstallationof trim on

interior wall maybe done.Youcanbuywood

from your local lumber or hardware supply. On

the outside, caulk openings around top and sides

of cabinet, and all sides of wood sleeve to the

opening.

NOTE: See Step 7, Item 3 of Window Mounting

Instructions for bottom rail seal location.

Masonry Construction

1. Cut or build a wall opening in the masonry

wall similar to the frame construction (refer to

Step 2 of Thru-the-WaU Installation for a wall

thickness greater than 8-1/2").

.Secure cabinet in place using masonry nails, or

the right masonry anchor screws. (Another

way to do this is to build an in-between frame

of 2x4's (51 mm x 102 mm) as shown in the

Step 2 Prepare Wall illustrations-- but make it

double framed on either side, and install

between masonry wall opening and cabinet.

Frame must be securely anchored to masonry

wall opening.)This way gives very good

louver clearance on either side of cabinet.

3. Install a lintel to support masonry wall above

cabinet. Existing holes in cabinet can be used

and/or additional holes can be drilled to fasten

cabinet at various positions. Be sure that side

louver clearance is in accordance with Step 1

above.

4. Install exterior cabinet support brackets as

shown in Step 2 of Thru-the-Wall Installation.

Caulk or flash if needed, to provide a weather-

tight seal around top and sides of cabinet.

5. To complete installation, apply wood trim

molding around room side projection of

cabinet.
