Thru-The-Wall installation

NOTE: Consult local building codes prior to installation,

or a qualified carpenter.

Select Wall Location

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

be installed through an outside wall as specified below:

Heavy Duty(FAS) Median (FAM)

Max wall thickness 10" 8"

IMPORTANT: Side louvers must never be blocked.

NOTE: All parts needed for Thru-The-Wall Installation

are provided,except a wood frame, shims, and 10 wood

screws (#10-1" long minimum). 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.

Prepare 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. 1

3-3/8" MIN

(8.8 cm)

Carefully measure and cut an opening with the following

dimensions depending on your model. See FIGS, land 2.

WIDTH "X" = inside model width plus twice the thickness

of framing material used.

HEIGHT "Y" = inside model height plus twice the thickness

of framing material used.

Heavy Duty (FAS)

inside Frame Height: 18-_8"(47.9cm)

Inside Frame Width: 2@4" (67.9cm)

Median (FAM)

18" (45.7cm)

4. Build a wooden frame with the INSIDE dimensions of

your model listed above. Measure twice remember...)

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 framd to spacers to spacers with front flush with

dry wall.

'-NAIL SPACERS TO STUDS

NOTE: If wall thickness is 8-1/2" or more, add aluminum

flashing over bottom of frame opening to assure no water

can enter area between inner and outer wall.

4. 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: Caulking and installation of trim on interior

wall may be done. You can buy wood 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 dThru-the-Wall

Installation for a wall thickness greater than 8-1/2").

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 of2x4 's 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 wal! opening)

This way gives very good louver clearance on either side of cabinet.

3. Install a linted to support masonry wal! above cabinet.

Existing holes in cabinet can be used and/or additions holes

can be drilled to fasten cabinet at various positions.Be sure

that side louver clearance is in accordance with Step 1above.

4. Install exterior cabient suppport brackets as shown in

Step 2 dThru-the-Wall Installation.Caulk or flash if
